My job as a beauty editor means that I get to visit some rather spectacular wellness destinations. I'm 'popping into' London's most luxurious spas, hotels and salons on a weekly basis, and going on UK staycations as well as overseas wellness retreats on the regular, too. What I'm trying to get across here is that I've seen it all when it comes to wellness retreats—and yet there is one I place on a pedestal far above the rest.
Hotel Post Bezau is a wellness hotel situated in the hills of the Bregenzerwald in the Austrian Alps. Nestled amongst panoramic Alpine views, a visit to Post Bezau is nothing short of a tonic for the soul. While you might not be familiar with the hotel yet, there's high chance you have come across the woman behind it and her nature-led beauty and wellness brand (which is also one of my all-time favourites, by the way)—Susanne Kaufmann. While the hotel has been in the Kaufmann family for five generations, with Susanne at the helm what was once a traditional wood-panelled chalet hotel for locals has been transformed into what is now, in my opinion, one of the world's most impressive and welcoming wellness retreats.
