Hey there,

Ever wondered what it feels like to stay in a place that literally runs on the forest around it? At Stanglwirt in Austria’s Wilder Kaiser mountains, you wake to cowbells, breathe in wood smoke from the biomass plant, and move between natural pools, farm-to-table meals, and alpine trails.

Take a moment to see why this mountain farmhouse hotel is worth planning your next detour around.

🌲 Austria’s Tree-Powered 300-Year-Old Alpine Hotel

Halfway up Austria’s Wilder Kaiser mountains sits Stanglwirt, a 300-year-old luxury hotel that runs on wood from surrounding forests.

Key Takeaways:

  • 🏔 From Tavern to Alpine Icon: A 300-year-old miners’ tavern evolves into Stanglwirt, a Tyrolean farm-hotel where guests hike, ride, and linger below the Wilder Kaiser peaks.

  • 🌳 Powered by Local Trees: A biomass plant burns bark and wood chips from nearby sawmills, supplying heat and power so the resort genuinely runs on trees.

  • 🐄 Farm-Led Luxury Experience: Guests wake to cowbells, eat organic farm fare, swim in natural pools, and still enjoy spa comforts and professional service.

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family-Led Green Vision: The Hauser family calls Stanglwirt an organic farm that also happens to have a hotel, prioritizing sustainability and regional roots over flashy luxury.

🌟 Breguet Celebrates 250 Years With Dazzling Reine de Naples

Breguet marks its 250th anniversary by unveiling two High Jewellery Reine de Naples models, Crazy Flower and Perles Impériales, both crafted in luminous Breguet gold and drenched in diamonds and mother-of-pearl.

Key Takeaways:

  • 💎 High Jewellery Showpieces: Crazy Flower and Perles Impériales take the Reine de Naples into whole jewellery territory, with pavé diamonds, sculpted petals, and opulent detailing.

  • 👑 Royal Roots, Modern Spin: The designs pay homage to Breguet’s historic watch for Caroline Murat while translating that royal lineage into bold, contemporary, feminine pieces.

  • 🥇 Signature Breguet Gold: Both watches debut Breguet’s proprietary gold alloy, paired with mother-of-pearl and intricate gem-setting to enhance depth, colour, and shine.

  • ⏱️ Serious Craft Beneath the Sparkle: Inside the jewellery cases, numbered automatic calibres deliver reliable timekeeping and power reserve, reinforcing Breguet’s horological credentials.

🌴 The Ultimate Guys’ Weekend at St. Regis Cap Cana

For a next-level guys’ trip, the brand-new St. Regis Cap Cana puts you beside bucket-list golf, a moody cigar lounge, and a recovery-focused spa.

Key Takeaways:

  • 🏌️ Golf-Centric Playground: Punta Espada and the new Las Iguanas Golf Course surround the resort, offering dramatic cliffside holes and multi-day tee-time takeovers with the crew.

  • 🥃 Serious Cigar and Spirit Culture: The Amber Room cigar lounge pairs a walk-in humidor with curated rum, cognac, whiskey, and smoky cocktails for post-round story sessions.

  • 🍾 Champagne Rituals and Nightlife: The St. Regis Bar mixes omakase-style bites, caviar, and terrace champagne sabering, turning pre-dinner drinks into a nightly event.

  • 💆 Recovery Built In: Men’s-focused spa treatments, Theragun-powered recovery, and a science-driven Recovery Lab help guests reset for another full day of competition and fun.

One last thing

Stanglwirt shows how real sustainability can feel comfortable, grounded, and deeply luxurious rather than preachy or performative. By heating the property with local wood, serving food from its own organic farm, and keeping the experience rooted in Tyrolean culture, it gives travelers a stay that feels both indulgent and honest.

It is the kind of place that reminds you a great trip can leave the landscape better, not just your camera roll.
