Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof

The concept of the AyurvedaCentre is ‘Tyrol meets India’ and the various spaces have been designed in accordance with the Ayurvedic philosophy that our bodies are temples that house our spirit. In the spa, senses are soothed in a relaxed, positive atmosphere and gently stimulated with exhilarating fragrances and peaceful sounds. The spa contains three saunas, created in accordance with Ayurvedic principles, and the Swasthya peace room provides the ideal environment for rest and relaxation before and after treatments. Other areas of the spa include infrared cabins, a yoga & OM meditation room, a Shakti (power) fitness room and the new Shiva Shaki lounge. The signature feature of the spa is a glorious panoramic indoor pool boasting direct access to the gardens and energy fountain.

• Really work during your programme, and choose a sauna to suit your dosha (body) before and after your treatment.
• Make sure to stretch your limbs with the morning yoga.
• Don’t shower after your spicy oil treatment. Though you may be tempted because of the smell, your skin will become baby-soft if you can keep it on overnight.
• Pack for comfort, there are no airs and graces here.
• Remember to pack a head scarf or hat, particularly if you have opted for a Panchakarma treatment.
