3- & 7-Night PIRTS Sauna Wellness Retreat in the Italian Dolomites
Preidlhof Luxury DolceVita Resort is delighted to present our seasonal wellness retreat, available as either a 3-night or 7-night programme from 12–19 October 2025. Surrounded by the vineyards and apple orchards of South Tyrol with breathtaking views of the Italian Dolomites, this luxury spa retreat will offer an autumn wellness escape and holistic wellness programme tailored for South Tyrol wellness-retreat seekers, mindful travellers and anyone seeking a short restorative getaway.
A Multi-Sensory Voyage into Body, Mind & Spirit
This Inner Journey is a deeply curated, multi-sensory retreat built around six transformative phases—grounding, healing, creativity, spirit, celebration and the culminating Day of Experience. Over seven nights you will journey through all six; in a three-night stay you will experience three of those phases in sequence .
Here is what makes it truly special:
- Privately guided, three-stage progression
You will receive dedicated guidance through grounding → creativity → spirit, ensuring a personalised, coherent journey rather than a patchwork of disconnected experiences. - Fusion of ancient ritual and modern therapy
- Latvian-inspired Pirts rituals with Mara Zute: you will enjoy smoke-infused heat using locally sourced wood, birch-twig whisking to stimulate circulation and release essential oils, alternating heat with cool-down dips, and soothing herbal steam infusions for full-body and mind purification.
- Forest bathing (“Shinrin-yoku”): you will be guided through immersion in the surrounding woodlands to lower stress hormones and boost immune function.
- Music therapy & live music: you will participate in sound-healing sessions that use specific frequencies to clear mental blockages and uplift your mood.

What Is a Pirts Ritual?
At the heart of Inner Journey lies the Pirts Ritual, an authentic Latvian steam-ceremony that reconnects body, mind and spirit. You will experience smoke-infused heat in a sauna, birch-twig whisking to boost circulation, alternating heat-cool cycles and herbal steam infusions for deep purification.
