SPA hot tips: The 5 most beautiful wellness hotels in Bavaria

Treat you! This is the name of the motto when the batteries are empty again and body and mind cheat after rest. And where could you switch off better than in one of the beautiful wellness hotels in Bavaria, in which nature alone lowers the resting pulse by ten blows? Even! These are our five favorites in the southernmost state of the Republic, which, in addition to the most beautiful mountains, crystal-clear lakes and fresh air, also often offer the famous, infamous blue sky. Well, of course, the latter applies frequently, but not always. But as you know, you prefer to do wellness with “more cozy” weather ... let's go.

The Kranzbach

At the foot of the Zugspitze, the hideaway is waiting"The Kranzbach"With his breathtaking view of the mountain massif. Here in the Karwendel Mountains you can use cross-country skiing in winter and hiking and biking in summer with any sport to punch out the body. But first of all it is time to check in in bright rooms and suites designed with wood.

Or escape a round into the bath house. There you can draw your lanes in one of the five inner and outdoor pools- watch the firs- or come to rest in one of the eight saunas and steam baths.

This only tops a classic healing massage with almond oil, which also solves the last tension in the body. Or the detoxifying algae pack of Thalgo, which detoxifies the body. If you want more Detox effect, book yourself in one of the multi-day programs of the house. Dr. Christine Müller restores the physical balance with a personalized program of bases and external applications. And then? You feel like newborn.

Mountain crystal

Sauna differently: Who im“Bergkristall”Sitting in Oberstaufen in the Allgäu while pouring the stone pine, not only gets an exciting story about the tree and its healing properties from the sauna master Sepp, but also can also marvel at the view of the mountain panorama-and Hansi the top dog with its impressive antlers.

Relaxation, you notice that, is very important here in the wellness resort. In addition to an infinity pool with a 360-degree view, numerous saunas and rest zones invite you to linger. Numerous facial and body treatments under the motto of light, strength, harmony and clarity are also on the spa menu. Our favorite: “5 senses for you”. With the extraordinary facial, the therapist not only massages all the signs of tiredness with crystal stones in detail, but also brings the body energy back into harmony with rose scent and sound shells.

And then? Let's go to the in-house gourmet restaurant. While a buffet and live cooking and cakes spoil you in the morning, there is a six-course Alpine-Mediterranean menu in the evening-also vegetarian or vegan on request. Motto of the entire cuisine of the house: healthy enjoyment that serves the spirits and health alike.

Bachmair-Weissach

In Rottach-Egern on the beautiful Tegernsee, about an hour from Munich, that's "Bachmair-Weissach Spa & Resort ”.Bonus number one: the location in the middle of the mountains. When you arrive here, you take a deep breath - and the heart rate sinks immediately. This does not change if you move into the bright rooms and suites with domestic materials.

Or enjoy either Bavarian delicacies, Asian delicacies or an ingeniously large, wonderfully fresh breakfast buffet in one of the restaurants. However, any feeling of relaxation is topped by a visit to the “Mizu Onsen Spa” of the house.

On over 3000 square meters, not only a separate area with indoor swimming pool and saunas for families, but also the Japanese-inspired Onsen bath, which contains warm and cold pools, a heated brine basin and various saunas and a steam bath. Here you can consequently follow the guideline of the spa on topics such as “slowness”, “clarity”, “warmth” and “a stop”. And also in the spa for treatments with brands like Susanne Kaufmann, Dr. Let Barbara Sturm or Sensai spoil.

Monastery courtyard

In the middle of Upper Bavaria, more precisely in the Berchtesgadener Land in Bavarian Gmain you will find the Alpine Hideaway "Klosterhof ”. Highlight of the wellness hotel? Of course, the “Artemacur Spa” with its panorama outdoor whirlpool, an indoor pool and numerous saunas. Particularly the oriental hammam catering with soap foam massage, which conjures up a feeling as wrapped in clouds. Or the weightless floats in the Alps Soledom, where every ballast drops.

A sound shell massage can really switch off every thought of the thought, in which the mind is reliably kidnapped into other spheres of thought. If you want to do more for your health, book a “Medical Spa” package. Dr. Andreas Färber develops a program for guests according to medical nutrition concepts - fasting cures are also possible. The pampering pension with a connoisseur breakfast, lunch bowls and evening “enjoyment art menu” applies to all other guests.

Elmau Castle

"Elmau Castle"has been world famous since the G8 summit at the latest. The hotel belonging to the “Best Hotels of the World” on our “Condé Nast 2024” offers a lot more than conference rooms and debates-namely pure relaxation, for example through numerous spa facilities such as hammam or nature spa, TCM and much more .

Particularly popular with relaxation: the famous yoga retreats and summits in the in-house yoga center, with star yogis such as Patrick Broome or Barbra Noh. In daily asanas and meditations, both body and mind are shaped sustainably. If you book additional massages, e.g. the “Lomi Lomi Nui” or the “Traditonelle Thai Massage”, you have reached the top of the Relax scale. Asian spoiled in the evening in the evening in the Indian “Fidelio” restaurant-or rely on the excellent star kitchen in “Luce d'Oro”, one of the two family or adults-only restaurants.
