The Best Wellness Retreats & Spas In Germany

Home to not one spa, but six, including the largest Hammam west of Istanbul, there are various heated pools, saunas, and a spa menu featuring a selection of soothing and healing treatments ranging from Abhyanga to Shiatsu, Thai massages to Hammam scrubs. However, there’s more to Schloss Elmau than just its fantastic spa offering. There’s also an extensive range of culinary delights and activities to enjoy too, including hiking, mountain biking, Yoga classes, Pilates, Tai Chi, cross-country skiing, and tennis. Be sure to also check out a performance at Schloss Elmau’s very own concert hall, which plays host to more than 200 concerts each year.
