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.

The interior screams coziness and loveliness. My wife and I spend a week in February 2023 there. It was a splendid time. #1 the house’s spirit The owner family is present in the hotel themselves. One of them welcomed us upon arrival and guided us to our rooms. And during our stay we’ve met randomly somewhere in the venue and had a chat. But also the other staff were kind, helpful and caring too. The amount of details in this hotel is unmatched. A detailed decoration to my is a good sign for mindfulness. Because somebody visited every room and felt what would suit it best for it to be even cozier or more welcoming. The program of the week is written on a blackboard. That gave it a very individual touch. #2 the lounge areas Throughout the hotel there were several areas to relax. The distributed books and magazines invite you to take your mind and soul for a walk. Fire places topped it all off. #3 the beverages and coffee The coffee (cappuccino and flat white) served for breakfast were splendid. The coffee there is still in my top 10 of all coffees I’ve ever had. The alcoholic drinks are the usual suspects plus some new flavours. For breakfast you can mix your own fresh juice. You pick the fruits and veggies you like and put them in a juice press. Voila your sweet and healthy and delicious power drink. #4 the food Wow - I can only say that the taste matches the attention-grabbing looks of the individual arrangements. Rarely something fancy, mostly basic ingredients of very high quality and prepared in sometimes unusual ways. #5 the spa sports Every morning there was a yoga session 0800-0900. Small room and small class. Tow or three different yoga teachers. We tried the swimming pool and massages but no other part of the spa. Hanging out by the pool on the giant beds was relaxing. #6 the surrounding The black cubical hotel is located in a small village in a skying area. For the top floor you have a fabulous view across the valley. In later winter and early spring the colours of the grass, trees and mountains are surreally beautiful. Check out my picture. They seem to have a filter but they don’t. It is all genuine nature in its harsh beauty of this particular saison. [...]

From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the beautifully curated interior – tasteful, harmonious, and full of soulful touches that made every space feel both inspiring and deeply relaxing. The wellness area was equally stunning: stylishly designed, spotlessly clean, and clearly cared for with love and attention to detail. The food deserves special praise. I have several dietary restrictions, and in many wellness hotels that usually means a lot of “leaving things out.” But not at SILENA. Here, the kitchen team went above and beyond – preparing personalized, beautifully cooked meals just for me. From a dairy-free crème brûlée to a cordon bleu adapted just for my needs – I felt truly seen, cared for, and spoiled. But what really sets SILENA apart is its people. The warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality of the staff made us feel not only welcome but truly at home. Every day was filled with thoughtful gestures, warm smiles, and a sense of connection that is incredibly rare – even among high-end wellness hotels. We even made new friends during our stay – a testament to the atmosphere of openness and care that this hotel fosters. Add to that the breathtaking natural surroundings, the well-organized guided hikes, and the exquisite cocktails at the bar (expertly curated and crafted), and you have a place that doesn’t just meet expectations – it redefines them. Thank you, SILENA, for a soulful, deeply nourishing, and unforgettable stay. We cannot wait to return. [...]

I was a little nervous about staying at a hotel with half board as the food does often not live up to expectation. The menu was 5 course ala carte with 2 separate options for each course and was amazing!! The restaraunt was also very flexible and allows you to substitute courses if you wish. The staff were fun, friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was also fantastic - the fruit juicer was a nice touch. The facilities and rooms met and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely come back. The included cable cart to the local mountain was also fantastic option in addition to seceda [...]
