Soulful Luxury Guided by the Principles of Feng Shui, in the High Valley of Vals

Silena welcomes guests from 14 years and older

In the tranquil mountains of South Tyrol, SILENA is a design-driven retreat that seamlessly blends Feng Shui principles with Southeast Asian influences. Its striking aluminum-panel façade incorporates tree branches, reflecting the hotel’s commitment to harmony with nature. Inside, 48 thoughtfully curated rooms and suites evoke a sense of grounding and serenity. The spaces merge South Tyrolean tradition with Asian aesthetics, featuring dragonfly wallpaper, smoked oak, iron, and velvet. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking mountain views, while Literature Suites invite guests to immerse themselves in a library of handpicked books. For ultimate indulgence, the Soulful Rooftop Suite offers a Finnish sauna and a private fireplace.

Wellness is integral to the SILENA experience. The rooftop spa houses a panoramic sauna with sweeping views, while the outdoor infinity pool is encircled by a tranquil zen garden. Treatments emphasize local ingredients, like alpine herbs, and are complemented by an extensive yoga program, Qi Gong, and guided meditation sessions. For those seeking inner balance, mindfulness workshops are also available.

The hotel’s gourmet restaurant elevates seasonal ingredients with a Southeast Asian twist, crafting an inventive menu that pairs beautifully with a curated selection of over 400 South Tyrolean and international wines. A dedicated cheese room offers regional specialties, perfect for culinary exploration.

SILENA is also a gateway to the unspoiled nature of the Gitschberg-Jochtal region, with ski slopes, hiking trails, and cycling paths right at the doorstep. Beyond its physical beauty, the hotel embodies a soulful philosophy: a dedication to slowness, connection, and harmony with oneself and the surrounding world.
