Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti

Sloping in harmony with the jagged Dolomites peaks that rise around it, the sharply angled roofs of Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti echo the grandeur of their spectacular setting. This luxury spa resort in the Dolomites is one of the most celebrated wellness retreats in Italy, offering tailored and expert-led wellness programmes alongside an a la carte selection of both Eastern and Western treatments.

If the treatments themselves weren’t therapeutic enough, the soothing mountain vistas, fragrant with Swiss stone pine and fresh air, present a refreshing escape from a busy life. All suites come with a private terrace from which you can absorb the views, which are reflected in the interiors of local stone, wooden accents and natural colours.

The Dolomia restaurant gazes out over the valley, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in accordance with the hotel’s ‘Vital Energy’ cuisine – meaning fresh, nutritious and regional ingredients with a Mediterranean twist. For special occasions, sample eight or 12-course menus at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Grual, washed down with a local wine by the crackling fire at the rooftop Sky Lounge.

While hiking in the UNESCO World Heritage surroundings is undoubtedly a highlight of any stay here, there are a variety of ways to fill your time. There are two nine-hole golf courses nearby, as well as a multitude of mountain biking and horse riding routes. In winter, skiers can make the most of the nearby ski resorts of Pinzolo and Madonna di Campiglio, which boasts 150 kilometres of slopes.
