Stay

The Disneyland of SpasOberlangenfeld, Austria

View Map

Way up in the mountains the words Aqua Dome must mean relaxation with a view, because that’s exactly what's on offer here, near Oberlängengeld in the Austrian state of Tirol. This wellness hotel and thermal spa is brimming with saunas (there's one with hay, and another in a loft), hot pools, a steam cathedral, saltwater grotto, herbal bath and indulgent pampering possibilities back at the spa, making it more than just a spot to catch some Zs after a long day on the slopes.

Take a dip under the cascading indoor waterfall before venturing through the canals leading to the bowl-shaped pools outside. Teetering on stilts up to 12 metres high, the pools appear suspended in the air, like a spaceship levitating through the Alps. Who would have thought floating in futuristic bowls could be so relaxing?

not sure?

The view of the Alps from your room and the pools
The delicious Austrian food served at the hotel
The way your skin feels after soaking in a thermal pool
The underwater music playing in the basin pools
There’s so much attention to detail throughout the hotel

No clothes (or swimsuits) allowed in the sauna. Yep, that means you have to go in naked
If you’re accustomed to scorching hot pools you may find the ones here a bit cool
It’s big, so you don’t get that same cosy feeling you have at a boutique hotel
