The winner and a guest will stay at Forestis, an eco-friendly retreat in the clouds about 6,000ft above sea level. The prize includes two nights in a vast Tower Suite with its own terrace overlooking the rocky Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the South Tyrolean Alps of northern Italy.
Stripped-back bedrooms are filled with natural materials such as pale wood and smooth Dolomite stone. The hotel is adults-only; there is a soothing spa and a beautiful swimming pool with views of the surrounding mountains. This valley is one of the prettiest corners of Italy – in summer, visitors can row across Pragser Wildsee lake and explore the area on foot. Winter, meanwhile, brings with it plenty of snow for skiing.
