Carpe Diem: Every moment is a gift

The moment that touches eternity

Sauna Entspannung

When we ask people in about their life motto, we often get a range of beautiful, inspiring answers: “Live every day as if it were your last,” “Seize the day, because it will never come again,” or “Find joy in the little things of life”. These phrases are like glimpses of light, encouraging us to make the most of each day. But how often do we manage to integrate these powerful words into our lives?

If we’re honest,
life often has different plans for us.

Daily routines get in the way. We rush from one appointment to the next, juggling commitments, and the days blur into an endless stream of to-do lists. In such moments, there’s little room to slow down and truly enjoy the present. These words of wisdom, as powerful as they sound, often seem out of reach. They hang like beautiful pictures on the wall, ones we briefly glance at in passing, without truly giving them our attention. We want to “live in the moment,” but we often put it off for later. The moment that invites us to embrace it goes unused.

It’s not easy to encourage someone to see the beauty of the present – especially when life is loud and demanding. How can you enjoy the moment when worries press in and tasks pile up? Yet sometimes, we can rediscover that feeling in special places. Places where everyday life fades into the background, and we remember what it feels like to truly experience the moment.

At the Mirabell, the “now” isn’t a distant idea – quite the opposite.
Here, what our life motto dreams become reality. Our hotel isn’t just a place to relax; it’s an invitation to rediscover the beauty of the moment. In every room, in every detail, you’ll feel how time slows down. You breathe deeper, see more clearly, feel more consciously. Here, at the heart of nature, the art of living in the moment becomes a natural experience.

“It’s not the years in our lives that count,
but life in our years.”
Jean Valby

It is important to us not only to welcome you as a guest, but to take you on a journey – a journey that gently takes you by the hand and gradually leads you through the special moments that make Mirabell a place of lightness. The beauty of the moment can only be felt in its full depth when we consciously take a moment and open ourselves – to nature, to tranquillity, to enjoyment. At Mirabell, it’s all about this kind of mindfulness.

Opening the soul …
and fully embracing the moment.

„The earth has music for those who listen“

Shakespeare

As you wander through the majestic Dolomites, you sense the powerful presence of nature in every fibre of your being. It’s far more than just the impressive sight of the rugged mountains; it’s the gentle wind caressing your skin, the aromatic scent of the clear air filling your lungs, and the calming silence that echoes within you. Each step takes you deeper into yourself and the precious moment unfolding before you.

Oasis of relaxation

At the Aurora Spa, you’ll discover a whole new dimension of what it means to let go. Let yourself be transported into an oasis of relaxation during a soothing massage, where every tension falls away from you like leaves gently drifting to the ground. Close your eyes, let your thoughts go on a journey of discovery, and enjoy the here and now in its purest form. The delicate aroma of essential oils, the comforting warmth, and the soothing silence envelop you in a gentle embrace, inviting you to let the moment wash over you completely.

Indulgence while eating
“Eating is a necessity, but eating well is an art.”

And as you indulge in our culinary highlights, you open yourself to a feast for the senses. Let the variety of flavours enchant you, with each bite telling a new story. Take your time, letting the nuances gently melt on your tongue, and feel how these taste explosions become interwoven with your memories and emotions. Here, dining becomes a touching experience that nourishes the soul and intensifies the moment in all its richness. It’s a moment of deep connection – to yourself, to those around you, and to the art of cuisine, which transports you into a world of pure pleasure.

Rooms and Suites

„The space between thoughts is where peace resides“

You will also find space for this special kind of experience in our rooms and suites. Retreat to your own sanctuary of comfort, breathe in the serene atmosphere, and enjoy the breathtaking view of nature. It’s the simple moments – the conscious awareness of silence, the gentle light that wakes you in the morning – that deeply connect you with the present.

These moments of peace and enjoyment aren’t just luxuries but a necessity for body and soul. They remind us that life is made up of small, precious moments that deserve to be cherished. The hustle and bustle of the world fades, and we find space for mindfulness and relaxation. By consciously embracing these moments and leaving the everyday behind, we can experience life in its full splendour. Let the magic of Mirabell inspire you, and grant yourself the freedom to experience the present in all its facets.

Because life doesn’t unfold in the past or future but in the here and now – in each precious moment waiting to be lived.
