The Andreus resort and spa has opened in northern Italy within the Passeier Valley.

Schletterer Wellness and Spa Design were responsible for the design of a number of areas, including the spa and gym as well as the hotel's lobby and restaurants.

Wood and natural stone is used throughout the hotel, as well as a large amount of natural light and this is followed through into the design of the 53,819sq ft (5,000sq m) spa, which combines Alpine elements with a Mediterranean influence.

Along with the hotel, the spa is located within a golf course. Facilities at the spa include a herbal bath, reflexology foot baths, whirlpools with underwater sound, a Kneipp walk, a panoramic sauna and a heated outdoor pool.

The beauty area boasts private suites offering different functions including a serail bath, ayurveda and aquaveda treatments as well as traditional and exotic massages.

The hotel also includes a garden where indigenous fauna is mixed with olive and palm trees. Details: schletterer.com
