Hidden thermal pleasure in Austria
Here you can relax without the hustle and bustle.
14 December 2020
Wintertime is Spa Time. This idea probably sits in the minds of most people and so it also comes that it is not always easy (away from the pandemic) to come to rest in a crowded thermal spa. However, as we are blessed with a large number of thermal baths in Austria, there are also one or two insider tips that you can try out to relax without the hustle and bustle.
Here you will find four thermal baths where you can enjoy your privacy and relax at the same time.
Larimar Hotel in Stegersbach
If you want to treat yourself to a little time out with exclusive wellness offers and a luxurious spa area, the best place to visit is the Therme Hotel Larimar. The soothing thermal water ensures relaxation at the highest level, the alkaline seawater has a healing effect and the exquisite sauna area makes you forget all stress. The special thing about the spa is its location, which makes for an extraordinary atmosphere. In the middle of the hilly southern Burgenland, the spa and hotel area extends over an area of around 6,500 square metres. In addition to conventional treatments, the spa area also offers alternative forms of treatment from all over the world.
The pleasant thermal water in the indoor and outdoor area invites you to recharge your batteries. Authentic seawater feeling can be found in the alkaline seawater outdoor pool with 0.9 % salt content, a bubble bench and a counter-current system. And the new, 20-metre-long infinity sports pool (28 °C) with fresh water is also ideal for relaxing or extensive swimming. Those who want to relax in peace and quiet will find relaxation in the inviting relaxation rooms with cuddly nests, water beds and private cuddly bunks.
Bad Radkersburg Park Spa
The Parktherme in Bad Radkersburg, Styria, invites you to relax with a total of 2,700 square metres of pure water surface. Guests can choose between several wellness options: Thermal water spring pool, thermal water vitality pool, sports pool and a whitewater stream. With a mineral content of approx. 8,000 mg per litre, the Bad Radkersburg thermal spring is one of the most mineral-rich healing springs in Austria. The thermal water in the spring pool is particularly beneficial to health.
The transparent rooms offer a calming panoramic view of the entire surrounding park landscape. And the sauna village with its exclusive infusions also ensures that you can simply let go of everyday life. Eight different saunas promise relaxation and soothing moments. Those who want to retreat in peace and quiet are best advised to visit one of the relaxation rooms.
Geinberg 5 - Private Spa Villas
Therme Geinberg in the Innviertel region of Upper Austria is one of the most popular spas in the whole of Austria. Those who want to indulge in exclusive wellness offers but still enjoy their privacy can check into the Geinberg5 Private Spa Villas. The modern villas impress with a simple but luxurious design and are equipped with a free-standing bathtub, Finnish sauna, steam shower and open fireplace. The highlight of the stay: the outdoor whirlpool with warm thermal water. Those who want to relax in the Geinberg5 villas in summer can use the private bathing jetty with its own bathing bay in the natural pond.
An exotic touch is provided by the "Oriental World" with hammam, serail bath and heat grotto. The hamam master also pampers guests with an individual wellness ritual on request. Unusual teas, oriental sweets and fresh fruit can be tried in the exclusive tea lounge.
Alpentherme Gastein
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and switch off in an exclusive ambience? The Alpentherme Gastein in Salzburg makes it possible. The soothing thermal water arrives directly from the depths of the Hohe Tauern in the middle of the pools. Those who want to swim extensively are just as right in Bad Hofgastein as someone who simply wants to enjoy nature and the atmosphere of the Alps on the bubble loungers. By the way, the Gastein thermal water contains the natural noble gas radon, which has a regenerating effect on the body.
In the spa area, guests can reward themselves with exclusive facial treatments and soothing massages. Another highlight is the spa sauna village with its own coloured light sauna, which is sure to amaze. A visit to the brine grotto, the cold mountain or the hot thermal lake round off a stay at the Alpentherme. And in between, guests can also enjoy a drink or two in the Ice Cube Bar, which offers a brilliant panoramic view.
