INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
Adam and Eve might have left the apple hanging on the tree had they known about the heavenly Puradies. Nestled on a sun-kissed plateau in Leogang, the resort—home to the Ess:enz restaurant—feels like a taste of paradise itself. Here, not only do countless plants thrive, but also the creative ideas that turn them into seductive, gourmet-level dishes. The real temptation? It’s not just in the apple, but in a cleverly crafted carrot or a perfectly plated portion of Nidei…
Piece by piece, interior designer Pascale Lauber and co-owner Ulrike Bauschke have carefully renovated and modernized this historic palazzo. A particularly striking contrast to the ancient walls is found in the steel-framed windows and doors, reminiscent of diamonds. Unique antique pieces and custom-made furnishings from various countries and eras come together in a truly magical way. The sofas and bed headboards come from South Africa, a fire bowl from the South African bush has been transformed into a bathtub. An old olive press serves as a communal table, and an impressive chandelier, designed by Pascale Lauber herself, hangs from the bar’s ceiling.
It's called slow food and yet the food at Villa Arnica is served very quickly. If you want, you can even choose your own ingredients in the natural garden. A glance over the garden fence is all it takes. Or you can take a few more steps into the 3,000 square metre Arnica field. The sun is shining. The first lettuces are poking their heads out of the soil. There is a delicate scent. The gardening season begins.
There are places where you can't even see the stars at night because the streets and houses are so brightly lit. That's not the case at Serra Nature. After all, the eco-resort is located in the middle of the Sierra Calderona Nature Park - surrounded by nature. What makes the magic of the night here complete? A dinner under the stars - where the sky shines, the silence speaks and every moment tastes of infinity.
From above, it resembles a giant bloom—a giant bloom of the trillium, known in our region as the wood lily. Nestled in the heart of Yucatán, deep in the jungle of Mexico, it blends seamlessly with the surrounding trees. This is no ordinary structure. It is a hotel whose name reflects its appearance: Trillium by Awakening.
A stay in the private villas at the Serra Nature eco-resort near Valencia feels as if nature itself is opening its arms to us. How can you connect even more deeply with your surroundings and ultimately with yourself? With the unforgettable nature experiences that can be booked through the resort. And that doesn't just mean hikes and yoga in the Sierra Calderona.
Still waters run deep, so they say. But what about dark waters? Dark waters are profound, sometimes healing, but definitely fascinating. Just like the Schwarzsee in Kitzbühel. Under the watchful eye of the Wilder Kaiser, not only the gentle waves of the water unfold here, but also the gentle waves of relaxation at the Alpenhotel Kitzbühel.
Berlin-Charlottenburg has undergone a fascinating transformation in recent years: once known as a bourgeois district, a creative and cosmopolitan scene has emerged around Kantstraße. Here, art, gastronomy, and urban lifestyle blend in a unique way – and right in the middle of it all is Hotel Wilmina, a hidden gem that serves as both a retreat and a source of inspiration.
You can't see it, but you can feel it - especially when it's as pure as here in Aschau im Chiemgau, a small town in Bavaria where the exceptional quality of the air has even been proven to be good. The Agrad Chaletdorf is located on the outskirts of the idyllic climatic health resort in a landscape that lets you breathe a sigh of relief.
