Hotels are simply wonderful: You don't have to take care of anything yourself, you're looked after and enjoy numerous amenities. But there are usually a few rules to follow. Breakfast in pyjamas? Not an option. Enjoying the pool all to yourself? Ditto. So if you're looking for a maximum degree of privacy and at the same time don't want to do without luxury, a private chalet is the right place for you. Fortunately, demand is experiencing a new high. And guests can choose from the most beautiful chalets for winter 2023.

The Arula Chalets, Austria

Guests can choose from two unique luxury chalets in the heart of the Arlberg mountain landscape. On the one hand, they score points with their prime location directly on the piste and the resulting ski-in, ski-out. On the other hand, they also have their own ice skating rink, heli-skiing facilities and state-of-the-art equipment. The guest houses each have a party room with a Steinway piano, a private cinema, separate living areas and a spa including a steam bath, an infrared cabin and a sauna. Even the heated outdoor whirlpool is not to be missed.

Naturally including nannies, yoga classes, spa therapists, heli-skiing and a private driver. Two chefs also ensure culinary delights of the highest standard every day.
