"Unwind and rejuvenate at My Arbor, South Tyrol's premier tree hotel."

A trip to the South Tyrol Mountains


Nestled in the serene mountains of South Tyrol, My Arbor offers a unique 5-star wellness experience immersed in nature. My stay at this extraordinary "tree hotel" was nothing short of magical, combining luxurious amenities with the tranquility of the Dolomites.

Summer Escape


Day 1: Arrival and Relaxation

My journey began with a smooth transfer from Innsbruck Airport to My Arbor, setting the tone for a peaceful retreat. Lunch at the resort introduced me to the exquisite culinary offerings, featuring locally sourced ingredients prepared with finesse.

The afternoon featured a wellness session called "Taking a Breath with Kiki," a mindful breathing exercise that set the stage for relaxation. Following this, I experienced a unique sauna infusion, a 12-minute ritual combining scents, music, and expert fanning by sauna masters. The textile-free sauna area felt liberating and pure, with cotton towels provided for comfort.

Exploring the Spa Arboris, I enjoyed the pool and various sauna experiences, including the Finnish panoramic sauna with stunning forest views. The spa’s design, inspired by the natural surroundings, provided a perfect sanctuary for relaxation.

Dinner was a refined affair, with an elegant yet cozy atmosphere. The multi-course meal showcased regional flavours, emphasising the resort’s dedication to culinary excellence.

Day 2: Adventure and Culture

The day began with an individual breakfast offering a wide array of choices to suit every palate. The flexibility in timing allowed for a leisurely start, enhancing the feeling of relaxation.

A hike on the Plose was the morning's highlight. We took a cable car up to 2,000 meters, where breathtaking views of the Dolomites awaited. The 6km hike to Rossalm was invigorating, and lunch at the hut featured traditional cold cuts, providing a rustic and authentic experience.

In the afternoon, I visited the historic Neustift Abbey. The guided museum tour and wine tasting session offered insights into the region's rich history and wine-making traditions, reflecting the abbey's longstanding heritage since 1142.

The day concluded with another splendid dinner at My Arbor. The gourmet dishes, paired with fine wines, made for a memorable end to a day filled with adventure and culture.

My Arbor provided a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural enrichment. The "MY philosophy," focusing on "me-time," was evident in every aspect of the stay, from the thoughtful amenities to the personalised service. The Nest, Hangout, and Treetop suites, each elegantly designed, offered stunning views and utmost comfort, making my stay even more special.

The SPA Arboris, with its extensive wellness offerings, was a highlight. Personal coaching, yoga, forest bathing, and a variety of treatments ensured a holistic wellness experience. The hotel’s integration with nature, from its architecture to its spa services, created a seamless connection with the natural surroundings.

My Arbor is truly a sanctuary for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a unique and luxurious retreat high above the charming South Tyrolean town of Bressanone. This enchanting stay left me feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and deeply connected with nature.
