THE FUSE

Blending Austrian and Italian influences, the Alpine-Mediterranean province of South Tyrol, Italy, is chock-full of all-inclusive resorts touting flashy break-out amenities. But for many visitors to this remote region, the real draw is simpler: slowing down and taking in the striking natural setting. With just 70 south-facing rooms, suites, and private villas catering to a wide range of guests, Hotel Chalet Mirabell focuses on restorative relaxation and exploratory excursions. Its whopping 64,000-square-foot panoramic spa spreads across two levels: one dedicated to families and the other reserved for adults. Outside, its sprawling lawn incorporates a natural swimming pond and various alfresco lounging setups.
