Day Spas – Relaxing in the middle of Vienna

Pure Day Spa: Sophisticated and urbane

Whether it is a Japanese hot stone massage or a "Li'Tya" treatment based on the tradition of the Australian aborigines: In the Pure Day Spa on the Tuchlauben, one travels in perfect relaxation through the world of beauty. Stress melts away in an instant with spa treatments from Asia, Australia and Europe. The "Beauty Quickies" - makeovers, manicures and eyebrow corrections in barely 10 minutes - are possible without a reservation.

Bella Vital: His-and-hers harmony

Anti-ageing in a good quarter of an hour is offered by Bella Vital, near Kohlmarkt. In the "Vita Salin Center", each individual cell in the body is stimulated with active substances, such as olive oil, wheat germ oil and salt from the Dead Sea. Even stressed male skin can relax here, with a revitalizing brush massage or algae masks.

La Mer - The Spa Experience at Nägele & Strubell

This is otherwise only available at Harrods in London: facial and body treatments with the legendary "La Mer" products. In order to be able to ideally absorb the valuable ingredients, the skin is first honed with a peel made of minerals and pure diamond dust. Reflex zone massages make feet fit again for the next round of sightseeing.

Sacher Day Spa: Sweet pleasure

The Day Spa at the famous Hotel Sacher is also available to non-residents. Simply make a reservation one day in advance and show yourself completely renewed from your sweeter side. Quite literally, because the Sacher "Luxury Chocolate Treatment" pampers you with proteins, antioxidants and minerals from the finest cocoa extract - sweet pleasure without the calories.

The Ring Day Spa: With a view across Vienna

"The Ring" luxury hotel also offers individual spa packages to non-residents - in its spa with a sensational view across Vienna.  Particularly recommendable: the "Anti Stress Dreamland" treatment, a Meridian massage with essential oils, based on the Chinese teachings of Yin and Yang.

Vendome Vienna and Therme Wien: weightless relaxation

At the Vendome Vienna in the Radisson BLU Palais Hotel, there is a special floatarium center, which is also open to non-residents. Guests lie here - either alone or with their partner - in a spacious bath tub, which is surrounded by glass and open at the top. The water is kept at a comfortable 35 degrees Celsius and enriched with salts, in order to achieve the kind of buoyancy found in the Dead Sea. Calming music and candlelight also have a relaxing effect. One impressive fact is that an hour of floating has the same restorative value as three hours of sleep. Afterwards, guests have the option to choose from the comprehensive wellness offering of the Vendome Vienna and enjoy some additional pampering. Therme Wien also offers a floatarium and weightless relaxation!

City Wellness Medical

A comprehensive wellness offering at affordable prices is offered by health and beauty institute City Wellness Medical. This oasis of wellbeing lies in the heart of Vienna, right behind City Hall and is open seven days a week (until 10.00 pm on weekdays). It offers not only traditional European, Asian and Indian types of massage, but also cosmetics, pedicures, facials, nail design and solariums.
