Le Domaine Des Hautes Fagnes & Spa

Le Domaine Des Hautes Fagnes & Spa is a 70-room hotel set inside the Hautes Fagnes nature reserve, built around a 2,500 m² wellness center that spans both indoor and outdoor areas. The complex includes a relaxation lounge and treatment rooms, and sits in a spot the owners bill as the highest hotel in Belgium.

Beyond the spa itself, the grounds have a small animal park with alpacas and miniature donkeys, and marked walking trails through the surrounding Fagnes landscape. Food comes from Trattoria Filomena, an Italian restaurant on site tied to the family that runs the hotel, which traces back to the Petta family's purchase of an abandoned property here in 2009.

Access works a few ways: guests can book a room and stay overnight, or come in on a day pass, though some areas may be reserved for overnight guests only, so it's worth checking this before planning a visit. Reservations are required either way. The spa and hotel operate daily from 7:00 to 23:00, and staff communicate in French, Dutch, English and German. It's positioned at the upscale end of the price scale, with room rates (visible on the booking calendar) ranging roughly from the low hundreds of euros up into the mid-hundreds depending on season and night.

The setup suits couples and families alike, with the mix of wellness facilities, animal park and restaurant giving it a broader draw than a pure treatment-focused spa. It's a reasonable stop for a wellness day trip or a short overnight break in this part of Liège province.
