The feel-good program sounds good in principle, but there are big differences in the quality of the offerings. With such a large selection of hotels, the question always arises: Where to go on vacation? We take a close look at the different locations and give you useful tips regarding the organization.
Wellness weekend for two: How to recognize the really good offers
The demands placed on wellness hotels have increased significantly in recent years. Holidaymakers already know: not every all-inclusive offer will make them happy. So if you really want to enjoy a well-deserved weekend for two, then you should choose the hotel carefully. These tips will help you:
1. An extensive spa offering makes a hotel the perfect candidate for your romantic weekend. These include, for example, a spacious sauna area with the classic steam bath, the trendy Finnish sauna, but also exclusive facilities such as a bio sauna. Many hotels offer guests a heated outdoor pool, but a hydropool with underwater bubble loungers is something special.
2. The really good hotels not only have a gym, but also offer daily alternating fitness programs and individual training programs.
3. Spacious, comfortably furnished and decorated rooms are a given.
4. When it comes to eating, emphasis is placed on a healthy, varied menu. In renowned hotels, guests are also pampered with homemade delicacies.
5. Diverse hotel offers are a guarantee that everyone can find something that suits them. AWellness weekend at the Steigenberger Grandhotel & Spa in Heringsdorfcan be combined, for example, with a yoga wellness program. As part of the program, couples can recharge their batteries with two yoga sessions every day or find inner balance with a singing bowl concert.
Wellness weekend for two: it depends on the location
As soon as the period for the short vacation has been determined, the question arises: “Where to?” For a relaxing wellness weekend, not only the spa facilities in the hotel but also the location play a crucial role. Important criteria when choosing are the short arrival and departure times, the idyllic surroundings, possible hiking and cycling trails, and various outdoor activities (e.g. sailing or skiing). Popular wellness locations include:
Short vacation on the Baltic Sea:The Baltic Sea coast offers a fantastic sea view and is perfect for all romantics who want to experience long white sandy beaches straight out of a picture book. Here couples can find untouched nature and cities with maritime charm. We recommend a visit: all year round. The location is simply beautiful and perhaps that is why it is enjoying increasing popularity.
Allgäu in southern Germany:Located in the southern part of the Bavarian Alps, the spa hotels in Allgäu combine traditional naturopathy with modern facilities. In summer you can discover the beautiful nature on a cycling tour, in winter numerous ski slopes ensure active hours outdoors. We recommend a visit in late summer.
