La Butte aux Bois

Blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor, wellness and indulgence – La Butte aux Bois is a forest-fringed retreat in the rural idyll of Lanaken. Here, National Park Hoge Kempen is the atmospheric setting for relaxation, spa time, and fine dining. While the Domaine itself – comprising a manor house, villas and epic spa – is far more than a hotel. It’s an invitation to slow down and enjoy the finer things in life.

 

Whether you choose a sumptuous room in the manor, secluded villa or ultra-modern forest room with tree-filled views you’ll feel completely cossetted. Cloud-like beds, glass bathrooms, and slick, contemporary design elevate your experience. Jewel Suite Missoni, designed in collaboration with the eponymous Italian designer plays with patterns, colours and texture. The Gert Voorjans Suite mirrors the sumptuous gardens outside with an equally rich interior. While dreamers should make straight for the Moonlight Suite, where you can watch the celestial sky projected onto the 9-metre-high ceiling from your bed. 

 

With two Michelin stars to its name, Restaurant Ralf Berendsen is a very compelling reason to visit La Butte aux Bois. Nature-inspired Bistrôt Le Ciel, and cosy Bar Papillon cater to all appetites, from epic breakfast spreads to gin and tonics al-fresco. The vast Shiseido Institute spa is a destination in itself, with a huge range of cutting-edge treatments, Technogym, indoor pool, sauna, hammam and infrared beds. Yoga and meditation sessions are on offer – or look to nature for your relaxation, heading out on hiking and biking paths that wind through the seasonally-shifting landscape.
