Requiring a minimum stay of five nights to allow guests to reap the full benefits, Preidlhof’s program incorporates trauma-healing and transformational wellness to release emotional blocks, anxiety and tension. Resident experts also use refined bodywork techniques to reconnect and ‘harmonise’ the mind and body.

I spend the week drifting from one treatment to the next, making use of the various swimming pools and sunbathing fascilities. There’s also a six-storey sauna tower in which, it should be noted, guests are expected to sweat sans clothes (a surprisingly liberating experience).

As for the regime, there’s sleep yoga (which is as relaxing as it sounds), and massages that take place on a bed of heated rose quartz (thought by crystal believers to boost feelings of peace and calm and support emotional healing). But the most remarkable treatment is the aforementioned session with world-renowned trauma-healer Stefano Battaglia.
