Last-minute gift for Mother’s Day: the most beautiful wellness hotels for mums

Recharge your batteries: last-minute gift for Mother’s Day: the most beautiful wellness hotels for stressed mums

“The bit of housework takes care of itself”. Not at all! Household, job and family don’t always just wupp mothers on the side. And so the wellness hotel tester and mother of two Andrea Labonte recommends three places of power where mothers can finally breathe deeply this spring.

1. Alpiana Resort: Ready for a rendez-vous with summer?

After the long winter months, stressed mothers deserve a summer breather. You can spend this particularly beautifully in the Alpiana Resort in the South Tyrolean Völlan near Meran. Immerse yourself in the 570 square meter water areas of the house and let yourself drift. Whether in the infinity pool, in the whirlpool or in the natural pool – tiresome to-do lists are quickly forgotten here.

The Sky Spa with its Finnish panorama sauna provides phenomenal views. High up on the third floor, mums can enjoy a spectacular view of the vines, blooming apple orchards and the South Tyrolean mountains. The Alpiana Spa extends over three floors and boasts many other relaxation attractions such as a chestnut infrared sauna, a steam bath or a bio sauna.

But the real sensation in the Alpiana Resort is the wellness garden with its tranquil island terraces, which merge with the soft green tones of the surrounding mountain landscape.

Mothers looking for peace and quiet can find even more deceleration when bathing in the nearby forests. Every week you go on a discovery tour through the South Tyrolean forests with your hostess, Ms. Margesin. When walking barefoot, during a forest meditation or as part of a plant and mushroom excursion, stress hormones are reduced and new strength is gained. Forest bathing is like aromatherapy.

Inhaling essential oils given off by the trees has even been shown to boost the immune system. It’s no wonder that the “shinrinyoku” stress management method from Japan, which means “forest bathing”, is ideal for a mom break. Not only in the forest, but also in the airy, light rooms and suites, we mothers shake off everyday life. And while enjoying Mediterranean creations, we even let the summer melt in our mouths.

2. Klosterhof: Would you like a whirlpool bath in the first row?

A box seat in untouched nature also awaits mothers in the Bavarian Klosterhof near Salzburg and Bad Reichenhall. Glistening warmth, lush greenery and glowing mountain peaks finally give new impetus to winter-weary spirits. In the first spa lofts in Germany, exhausted mums can lean back and welcome the summer from the private whirlpool. And we also enjoy wonderful views in the indoor pool with fireplace lounge or outdoor whirlpool.

In general, the 1500 square meter Artemacur Spa with its two saunas, its hammam and its fitness room acts as an energy booster. Another resting place in the monastery courtyard is the Alpen-Soledom. Here women find what they often lack in everyday life: time for themselves. So immerse yourself in the Bad Reichenhall alpine brine and experience the feeling of weightlessness. Especially with allergies, skin blemishes or respiratory diseases, the Soledom promises improvement. On request, floating in the Alpen Soledom is even possible with therapeutic support.

Qualified yoga, meditation and mindfulness trainers are always available to advise mothers looking for relaxation in the monastery courtyard. In the monastery courtyard you are spoiled for choice as to how we can achieve more balance and strength. Whether private yoga lessons, yoga retreats, mindfulness training or meditation – a sigh of relief seems guaranteed in any case. Relaxation according to Jacobsen, Shiatsu, Qi Gong or sound journeys are also on the Hideaway’s leisure agenda.

Another special feature of the Bavarian wellness hotel is the Artemacur health center. This is under the direction of Andreas Färber, the host and doctor in the monastery courtyard. The offer of his health center ranges from diagnostics and therapy to pointing out strategies for a healthier everyday life at home. Exercise programs, mental coaching and burnout prevention can be a guide to a healthier life, especially for stressed mothers.

3. Nature and Wellness Hotel Höflehner: The mountains are calling

When the sun gently touches the peaks of the Alps in the morning, we not only swim in the heated sports pool of the nature and wellness hotel Höflehner, but also in a happy elation. Up here at 1117 meters we wake up full of anticipation for the upcoming mountain adventures. For example, how about a hike to the picturesque Duisitzkarsee.

It is not for nothing that the mountain lake is one of the most popular photo motifs in Styria. On the way there from the Almboden of the Eschachalm via the hiking trail through quiet high forests and sunlit clearings, we are accompanied by birdsong and lush greenery. After the ascent and a refreshing dip in the sparkling turquoise lake, two alpine huts provide local delicacies.

Back at the hotel, the alpine sauna village promises further endorphin releases with its alpine herb, panorama and town sauna. Even a honey steam sauna, a brine graduation room and infrared cabins are among the wellness attractions. With an anti-stress massage, another highlight is added to the day after the sauna session.

The sensitive therapists at the Höflehner pay special attention to the tense neck and back areas of stressed mothers and treat them with pine oil. What a pleasure to be pampered and taken care of yourself. And the pampering program continues in the evening. When it’s time to lean back and feast in the cozy restaurant with a view of the Alps. The fact that you don’t have to cook yourself makes many mothers’ hearts beat faster. And so the grilled black tiger shrimp, bedded on a glass noodle salad with fresh coriander, chili and lemongrass tastes particularly good.
