Variety
Three facets, no ranking
Wellness in South Tyrol is not just one thing. Some hotels are designed as wellness hotels from the ground up, others have made their spa their focus and many combine pool, warmth and quiet into a defined combination of offerings alongside everything else that defines each hotel. The three groups describe these facets. They are not quality levels, and the characteristics are not mutually exclusive.
107of 722
Wellness as the hotel's identity
Wellness, a spa or a comparable health and relaxation offering shapes the hotel's core identity.
138of 722
Wellness with a spa focus or a specialization
Spa-oriented or specialized wellness hotels with a strong spa focus or a clear wellness specialization.
477of 722
Wellness as a defined combination of offerings
A qualified pool/swimming offering plus a qualified sauna/heat offering plus a designated relaxation room or specific treatments.
Geographic distribution
Almost everywhere in South Tyrol
101of South Tyrol's 116 municipalities have at least one of the 722 recorded hotels.
Wellness is not confined to a few places. The hotels are spread across valleys and altitudes, from the major tourist areas to small municipalities.
The table shows the number of recorded hotels in the seven district communities and the municipality of Bolzano. This breakdown differs from the platform's regions.

Water, retreat, private wellness
What is documented at the hotels
Four forms that shape wellness in South Tyrol, counted as minimum figures within the 722 hotels. Only what a hotel explicitly describes was counted. So “not documented” does not mean “not present.” A hotel can also have several of these forms, so the figures cannot be added up.
at least
281of 722
Pool with a view
Counted: at least one documented infinity pool, rooftop pool, Sky Pool or pool with an explicitly described panoramic or landscape view.
at least
40of 722
Retreat and family time in the same hotel
Counted: both a separate adults-only wellness area and explicitly family-oriented wellness areas or facilities documented.
at least
72of 722
Private wellness
Counted: at least one explicitly private element documented (private spa, private sauna or private whirlpool).
at least
56of 722
Natural pool or natural swimming pond
Counted: natural pool or natural swimming pond documented in the hotel's information.
Sources and methodology
How we counted
Each of the 722 hotels is assigned to exactly one of the three hotel categories according to fixed criteria. The four feature counts show how many of these hotels have each form documented. We explain the criteria, counting method and sources on the methodology page for the South Tyrol Wellness Report 2026.

- Inclusion in the study means a methodological assignment to the wellness segment. It is not a check of all of a hotel's facilities and does not mean that the hotel is a customer of this platform, has been visited or can be booked.
- The three groups (107 · 138 · 477) are counted without overlap, using an assignment priority. Hotels in the first two groups can also have the third group's combination of offerings.
- Feature figures (281 · 40 · 72 · 56) are minimum counts. A hotel can appear in more than one. For the other hotels, this analysis cannot establish whether they have the feature: unknown means neither yes nor no.
- The geographic distribution covers the seven district communities and the municipality of Bolzano, a total of 722 recorded hotels. At least one of these hotels is located in 101 of the 116 municipalities.
- The report does not say how many hotels in total have a sauna or are run entirely for adults. We do not have a reliable figure for this. The third group requires a sauna or heat offering and is therefore not a sauna count.
