Adults-Only Wellness & Spa Retreat
Adults-Only Spa Retreat in South Tyrol
Preidlhof is an adults-only spa and wellness retreat in the hills of South Tyrol, Italy, surrounded by alpine landscapes, orchards, and vineyards near the spa town of Merano. Set across spacious grounds in Naturno, Preidlhof is particularly known for its extensive spa and sauna world - one of the most expansive in South Tyrol, spanning 5,000 sqm. The retreat offers a calm, private setting where guests can slow down, focus on rest and relaxation, and reconnect with themselves without distraction.
The retreat blends sensory spa experiences, time in nature, and optional therapeutic support within an unhurried adults-only atmosphere. While personalised wellness programmes are available, stays can also be enjoyed at a gentler pace, allowing guests to engage with the spa, mountain surroundings, and daily activities in a way that feels natural and unforced.

Hotel Facilities
Preidlhof is spread across peaceful gardens and terraced grounds, creating a strong sense of space and privacy throughout the retreat. Guests can move easily between indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, sun decks, and quiet corners overlooking the surrounding valley and mountains.
Walking paths, gardens, and open-air spaces encourage gentle movement and time outdoors, while indoor areas are designed for calm and comfort rather than activity. The overall atmosphere is intentionally adults-only and unhurried, making it easy to settle into a slower rhythm and disconnect from everyday demands.
Wellness Facilities
Wellness is central to the experience at Preidlhof, which is home to one of the most extensive spa and sauna facilities in South Tyrol. Spanning approximately 5,000 sqm, the wellness area is designed to support slow, intuitive movement between heat, water, rest, and fresh air, all set against wide mountain and valley views.
At the heart of the spa is the six-level Sauna Tower, which brings together seven saunas, multiple indoor and outdoor pools, hydrotherapy areas, hot tubs, a snow room, and a variety of dedicated relaxation spaces arranged across different floors. The layout allows guests to move naturally between warming, cooling, and deep rest, with each level offering a distinct atmosphere and outlook.
Both textile (clothed) and nude spa areas are available, giving guests the freedom to enjoy the facilities in the way that feels most comfortable. Throughout the day, guided sauna infusion rituals are offered, adding a gentle structure to the spa experience while remaining entirely optional. These sessions enhance the sensory benefits of the saunas through heat, scent, and rhythm, without creating a pressured schedule.
Outdoor pools, terraces, and garden areas are seamlessly woven into the spa design, encouraging time in nature between treatments or sauna sessions. The scale and flow of the facilities mean there is always space to retreat, even during peak times, reinforcing the adults-only, unhurried atmosphere.
Alongside the spa, Preidlhof also offers an on-site MedSpa for guests who wish to include therapeutic support during their stay. Treatments and consultations may focus on balance, stress management, and overall wellbeing, complementing the spa experience without imposing a rigid structure. This allows each stay to remain flexible, guided by personal rhythm rather than fixed timetables.
Dining
At Preidlhof, dining is an integral part of the wellness journey, with menus designed to support healing and vitality through delicious, balanced cuisine. Rooted in Mediterranean and alkaline diet principles, the culinary concept focuses on fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. Guests can choose from a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and low-calorie options, all prepared to nourish the body and delight the senses.
The Wellness VIP Lounge offers an exclusive space for those on transformational retreats and personalised wellness programmes. Here, guests can enjoy the Wellness Healing Gourmet Menu, a predominantly plant-based dining experience that is thoughtfully crafted to appeal to all the senses - combining flavour, presentation, and nutritional balance. This mindful approach to dining complements Preidlhof’s holistic health philosophy, enhancing your overall wellbeing with every bite.
