Wellness in Austria is more than just “relaxing in a spa.” It’s an experience shaped by nature, culture, health, and enjoyment — something that leaves a lasting impact.

Nature as a backdrop: Thermal water from deep springs, healing moor from upland bogs, alpine herbs, and crisp mountain air — the landscape itself becomes part of the experience.

Holistic approaches: From F. X. Mayr cures to Ayurveda and modern longevity concepts, many wellness hotels combine traditional healing methods with the latest scientific findings.

Mindful cuisine: Organic meals, regional ingredients, and a conscious focus on sustainability complement the retreat for both body and mind.

Architecture and atmosphere: Wellness hotels are often designed to bring nature inside — with large glass facades, natural materials, and a sense of space and serenity.
