The Winkler Hotel in northern Italy's Dolomites is adding a 3,500sq m (37,674sq ft) spa with an extensive sauna area, mountain lagoon and Kneipp tunnel.

Built with an investment of €3.2m (US$3.4m, £2.7m), the spa is part of a new addition to the hotel that also includes luxury suites and restaurants designed by architect Astrid Steinwandter set to debut this summer.

The interiors and the spa have been designed by Stefan Ghetta in conjunction with Rizzato Spa Consulting, and the spa will also include seven indoor and outdoor pools, a panoramic relaxation area, Finnish outdoor panoramic sauna, adult-only area with five saunas, and a cardio fitness room.

Spa equipment from Gharieni includes the company’s MLW F1 Series, and treatments feature skincare from Team Dr Joseph and Vitalis Dr Joseph. A ‘Night Spa’ will be available until 11pm once a week.

The hotel, located in the South Tyrol region near the border of Austria, is a family-friendly location that also offers hiking and mountain tours, biking tours, an indoor climbing wall for children, and an on-site farm.
