OKU Andalusia sits on a white-sand beach just south of Sotogrande, in southern Spain. From the sun loungers, you look across to Gibraltar and North Africa.

Mornings start in the hillside spa, with an indoor pool and an outdoor yoga shala. Afternoons drift between the pool and the beach. Couples and families each find their own space here with three adult-only pools as well as a huge kids club.

Booking early until 30 November gives you first pick of 2027 dates, discounted rates and room types.

We’ve visited personally, so ask us anything you want to know about the resort!

Hiking boots and a bathrobe. You’ll want both here.

I filmed these little moments at Green Luxury Hotel Pfösl in South Tyrol. Watching them back, I’m ready to pack again.

What I love is how easily you can combine a proper walking holiday with a few days of doing very little. Head out into the surrounding meadows and forests, spend the morning walking, then come back to the heated infinity pool with the Dolomites still in view. There are eight saunas, too, so leave some time for those.

You could fill your days with hiking. You could spend most of them in a bathrobe. I’d make room for both.
The menu in the evening is also delicious by the way.
Save this for your next mountain escape, or send it to someone who loves a long walk followed by a long afternoon at the spa.

I’ve linked Pfösl in today’s Stories so you can explore the rooms and book through Select Green Hotels.

Ein schönes Hotel erkennt man auf Bildern. Was es besonders macht, erlebst Du erst vor Ort.

Wer führt das Haus? Woher kommt das Essen? Was wird erhalten, statt neu gebaut? Und was bleibt von unserem Besuch vor Ort?

Genau dieses Dahinter interessiert mich. Deshalb habe ich Select Green Hotels am 27. September 2021 gelauncht, am Welttag des Tourismus. 🌿

Unser Ziel damals und heute: Hotels sichtbar machen, die Design, Gastfreundschaft und Verantwortung für ihre Umgebung verbinden.

Seitdem ist viel passiert:
→ Austausch mit inspirierenden Hoteliers
→ Talks über nachhaltiges Reisen auf Konferenzen
→ Artikel in ELLE, MADAME, SZ und BUNTE uvm.
→ eigene Pop-Up Location und Presse-Events
→ 102 handverlesene Hotels in 18 Ländern

Was zwischen diesen Clips liegt, lässt sich schwerer zeigen: die vielen Gespräche mit Menschen, die ihre Häuser mit Überzeugung führen. Die Details, die bei einer Besichtigung auffallen und auf keinem Foto zu sehen sind. Die Arbeit daran, Nachhaltigkeit transparent und nachvollziehbar zu machen.

Heute möchte ich vor allem Danke sagen. Unseren Hoteliers für ihr Vertrauen. Allen, die Select Green Hotels mit aufgebaut und begleitet haben. Und Euch, die hier mitlesen, Hotels entdecken und über uns reisen.

Zum fünften Geburtstag würde ich gern von Euch wissen: Welches Hotel habt Ihr durch uns entdeckt – oder steht seitdem auf Eurer Wunschliste?

In Conversation with Tamaris Auer, Co-Owner of SEEHOF Nature Retreat

On a sunny plateau above Brixen, SEEHOF Nature Retreat sits on the shore of its own natural lake. Pine forest and apple orchards surround the house. The Auer family has hosted guests since 1965, when they had five cows and three simple guest rooms. In this interview, Tamaris shares how that history has shaped the hotel into what it is now.

Tamaris Auer speaks about the lake at sunset and the calmness of the place.
Guests come for the lake, the saunas, and the quiet. describes what makes them stay: it’s a cocooning place, a retreat for adults.

Grape harvest turns four hotel gardens into open-air kitchens this month.

From Piedmont’s truffle season to grapes stomped barefoot in the Douro, September is vineyard hotels at their best.

Casa di Langa, Piedmont — about 40 hectares of vines in the UNESCO-listed Langhe hills, truffle hunts before dinner.

Six Senses Douro Valley — terraced vineyards on the world’s oldest demarcated w**e region, grapes stomped the traditional way.

Domaine des Etangs, Charente — 1,000 protected hectares near Cognac and Saint-Émilion, mushroom foraging each morning.

AYA Estate, Struma Valley — vines older than most European nations, five w**es tasted at the source.

Save this for your autumn w**e escape.

Southern Sicily in autumn. Quiet sandy beaches, endless nature, the best food on half board, and wellness on another level - the kind you only know from alpine wellness hotels.

Opened where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, OKU Andalusia set out to be a destination rather than a stopover. This sustainable luxury hotel opened in July 2025 on the La Alcaidesa coast, between Sotogrande and the Los Alcornocales cork oak forest. It’s OKU’s first family resort and first property on the Spanish mainland.

We spoke with General Manager Sergio Tamayo.
