Why choose a thermal spa?


Because there is no better feeling in the world than gently slipping into warm, fragranced waters, beneath a clear blue sky, and feeling the rich mineral content slowly work to restore mental and physical well-being. Austria’s thermal spas are some of the best in the world, with stunning architecture, award-winning restaurants and highly-qualified practitioners combining to create unforgettable resorts.

Thermal spas date back to Roman times, when soldiers marching across Europe discovered that bathing in thermal waters soothed aching limbs and could even cure wounds. Over the following centuries, thermal springs were discovered throughout south-eastern Austria, and by the early 19th century they had become world famous. Ruling families from throughout Europe visited the thermal spas, from the Habsburgs of Austria to our own Edward VII.

The rich salt and mineral content of these waters is thought to help with aching joints, back and skin problems and even more serious conditions, such as rheumatism and arthritis. Many of the Austrian thermal spas have several different pools, some with jets and fountains to target specific areas of the body. Saunas, at different temperatures and with different fragrances, are also an essential part of the Thermal Spa experience.
