There’s also ample storage space for ski gear, a piano bar with daily live music and a colourful bowling alley.

Aesthetics and wellness unite at this five-storey spa in Soldeu, decorated with specially commissioned wall art by the late Catalan master Domènec Fita i Molat. Competing for your attention on the hydro circuit are floor-to-ceiling views of the surrounding mountains, a picturesque reminder that you’re 2,000m (6,562ft) above sea level. An entire floor is devoted to therapies and massages, offering everything from music therapy to holistic treatments in rooms that look out at the pristine slopes.

This all-suite hotel is perfect for an upscale escape. Located at the foot of the Grandvalira ski resort, its chalet-style facade blends seamlessly with the landscape.

There’s also a hammam, a jacuzzi and a eucalyptus steam sauna to complete your spa circuit.
