Purchasing a home overseas that is great for your body and your soul. Built in harmony with their environment, with widespread use of natural ingredients in their spas – full feature available in September’s issue of Homes Overseas – out now.

Parkhotel Wehrle, Black Forest, Germany
Although a hotel, the Parkhotel Wehrle is also available as a timeshare property and affiliated with renowned vacation exchange company Group RCI.

Belize Reserve, Belize
Set in the midst of lush rainforest in Belize’s Cayo region, this 100 per cent carbon-neutral eco-resort will include a 20- to 30-unit hotel as well as 350 half-acre plots available for development.

Le Chateau de la Redorte, Minervois, France
The sympathetic restoration of this 18th-century chateau will result in luxury apartments located both within the chateau itself and in two ‘dépendence’ being constructed on the land in front – in a similar architectural style.

Bacolet Bay Resort & Spa, Grenada, West Indies
This five-star resort is set in 16 hectares of tropical gardens, yet for all its feeling of seclusion, it is only a 20-minute drive from the vibrant capital, St George’s, and from the international airport.

St Martin Chalets, Austria
A small alpine farming village 1,050 metres above sea level forms the location for this small, ecologically sound community. There are ten individual chalets, in a choice of two designs, with a total area of 126-square-metres, including decking and balconies.

The Landings, St Lucia
Already an award-winning yacht harbour development, The Landings has now opened a sumptuous spa, comprising no less than eight tranquil treatment rooms, outdoor hydrotherapy terraces and relaxation rooms.

Limpopo-Lipadi Game and Wilderness Reserve, Botswana
Covering 32,000 hectares, Limpopo-Lipadi Game and Wilderness Reserve aims to preserve and enhance the spectacular African countryside in which it is located.

Marisia Eco-Spa, Ideciu de Jos, Transylvania, Romania
Spa treatments purify and detoxify the body, so why would you enjoy one in a high-toxicity development? Enter the Marisia Eco-Spa resort in Romania, which is due for completion by early 2010: it will be carbon-neutral and is aiming for zero waste.

Golfo Gabella, Italy
Located on the shores of Lake Maggiore, Golfo Gabella offers buyers a choice of 90 apartments, ranging in size from one to three bedrooms. Facilities include the super-slick Acquadulza bar, wine butega and restaurant, plus gymnasium and on-site rental management services.

Póvoa Dão, Portugal
The sympathetic restoration of this 700-year-old village is just one aspect of what makes Póvoa Dão worthy of the ‘holistic’ tag. The area is also renowned for its thermal spas, including Caldas da Felgueira and Alcafache, all of which aim to promote wellbeing through natural remedies and exercise.

The full feature is available in September’s issue of Homes Overseas – out now.
