A beautiful mountainous landscape, perfect biking, and scenic walking – now you know you have arrived in Austria’s Styrian province. This region is well-known for its healing thermal waters and with 300 days of sunshine this destination lends itself as the perfect alternative to a conventional beach holiday.

Having recently undergone a massive refurbishment, the Quellenhotel prides itself on seven in- and outdoor pools filled with mineral-rich, naturally warm thermal waters and massage jets to soothe and prevent aches and pains. This Styrian spa, with its in-house team of qualified doctors and therapists who can tailor individual health and beauty programmes, offers its own unique range of treatments; traditional Styrian medicine, detox massages using locally-produced pumpkin oil and apple juice, restorative body packs made from high moorland grass and hay baths that use local medicinal plants.

The exclusive ‘Quellenoasis’, offering a stunning view onto the valley below and beyond, is a new and modern three-storey luxury spa area created for the exclusive use of guests staying at the hotel. From the extensive indoor/outdoor sun deck, gaze over a natural lake created as a pool for swimming in the summer months and the infinity thermal water pool which is positioned within the lake itself. Another special feature is a dedicated women’s sauna and relaxation area – the first of its kind in Austria. At the hotel’s Feng Shui beauty centre your energy will start to flow again as the treatments carried out here by highly qualified beauty therapists are based on the harmony of Yin and Yang.

Two main dining rooms offer guests a broad selection of cuisine. All dishes are prepared according to principles of holistic nutrition with much of the featured produce coming from local farms. Breakfast is an extensive buffet, while guests on half-board can choose a delicious 4-course dinner from a set menu which includes daily self-service salad bar. Vegetarian and low calorie prescription diets are available.
