Strong body, strong mind? The philosophy of yoga has long since ceased to be a trend and we now encounter it in many areas of life. This also applies to travelling: A time-out for body, mind and soul is offered by our most beautiful yoga hotels, which offer both new and advanced yogis and yoginis a retreat in a class of its own - a retreat from everyday life, very close to yourself.
Elmau Castle Luxury Spa Retreat & Cultural Hideaway
At Hotel Schloss Elmau you experience a feeling of stopped time. In the protected high valley of the Bavarian Alps, you can relearn stillness and freedom here: Asian lightness and warm light in spacious rooms, peace and serenity in six spas and pools, Taiji and yoga allow you to switch off completely.
