Now a benchmark among wellness destinations and retreats, Preidlhof Spa confirms its leadership with new and exciting nominations for the most prestigious international wellness awards. Thanks to a constant commitment to training and in-depth study, the Preidlhof spa team is dedicated to offering not only excellent experiences, but also authentic and solid support in the processes of personal transformation and deep regeneration that the Preidlhof wellness transformation retreats stimulate. The Glowing Flow Retreat – “Retreat to Nature” represents the essence of this integrated approach and is the protagonist of the prestigious nomination at the World Luxury Hotel Awards 2025. The pride of Preidlhof's offering, Glowing Flow Retreat is a transformative journey designed for those who feel the need to regenerate, rediscover inner balance, and reestablish an authentic connection with nature, both inside and outside themselves. The retreat skillfully combines cutting-edge holistic treatments, individual sessions, body awareness practices, and meditation with immersion in the unspoiled environment of the South Tyrolean mountains. Designed as a completely personalized experience, Glowing Flow offers a safe, authentic, and welcoming space where body, mind, and emotions can flow freely and return to harmony.
At the 2025 World Spa Awards, Preidlhof's Thermal Spa is among the finalists in the categories World's Best Mineral & Hot Springs Spa, which rewards the best thermal spas in the world with natural springs, and Italy's Best Wellness Retreat, an award that celebrates Italian excellence in the wellness sector.
Another protagonist is Glowing Flow, the treatment that symbolizes Preidlhof's philosophy, nominated for Holistic Treatment of the Year 2025 at the Destination Deluxe Awards. More than a treatment, Glowing Flow is a personalized and profound experience, capable of acting on different levels—physical, emotional, and energetic—thanks to a holistic, intuitive, and highly sensitive methodology. Each session is designed according to individual needs, combining conscious touch techniques, somato-emotional release, therapeutic breathing, sound, and empathetic presence.
Created by Stefano Battaglia, internationally renowned spiritual guide, the treatment aims to dissolve inner blocks, stimulate self-healing, and promote a state of lightness, clarity, and deep connection with oneself. Glowing Flow is an invitation to listen to yourself, let go, and flow... until you rediscover your inner light.
Also at the Destination Deluxe Awards, another prestigious nomination goes to Stefano Battaglia, Master Therapist and Trauma Healer, selected in the Wellness Practitioner of the Year category. A key figure within the Preidlhof team, Battaglia accompanies guests with sensitivity and skill through individual and group sessions designed to awaken the inner healer and promote truly integrated well-being. Originally from Sicily, Stefano embarked on a profound spiritual journey at a young age. Raised under the guidance of Franciscan and Hindu hermits, he continued his training with a Bengali monk he met during a trip to India. This journey led him to develop a unique approach to emotional and mental healing, hence his nickname “The Shaman.” His work has received several international recognitions; to name just a few, he was named one of the Top 5 Healers in the world by Tatler Spa Guide in 2020 and selected by National Geographic in its Spa & Wellness Collection 2022 as one of the eight best transformative therapists globally.
At the Glowing Flow Retreat at Preidlhof, Stefano Battaglia is the beating heart of the transformation process. His practice combines advanced body techniques, meditation, sound, and a deep empathetic presence to facilitate the release of trauma and tension.
And once again, Preidlhof continues to stand out at the European Health & SPA Awards with new important nominations.
The property is a finalist in the Best Hotel (Resort) Spa category, confirming its position among the best spa hotels in Europe, and is competing for the Best Signature Treatment award, thanks to the exclusive Preidlhof KyoAma facial treatment. A unique manual facial treatment, developed exclusively for Preidlhof Skincare, which combines cosmetic innovation and personalized care in a profound and regenerating beauty experience.
The numerous nominations once again confirm Preidlhof's commitment to innovation and quality in the field of transformative experiences and its prominent position on the international scene.
A place where wellness becomes conscious, the experience becomes transformative, and every inner journey is accompanied with care, competence, and passion.
