For urbanites pining for a deep-tissue as well as a digital detox, we prescribe a couple of nights at Forestis in the clean, recuperative air of Italy’s Dolomites. Its spa takes cues from the original wellness influencers, the ancient Celts and in the restaurant, chef Roland Lamprecht works with what grows in the mountains. Each table in the restaurant has uninterrupted mountain views. And it’s not just inbox-weary heads that’ll be clear; consciences will be, too, thanks to local architect Armin Sader, who achieved the hotel’s carbon-neutral construction using all-natural materials from the surrounding area.

A two-night stay in the Tower Suite: c.£2,000. Prices estimated during high season.

With Mr & Mrs Smith you’ll also receive a complementary a half-bottle of Ferrari sparkling wine.
