Schloss Elmau: A wellness resort in the Bavarian Alps

Schloss Elmau is at once a spa retreat, a cultural haven and a haven of peace. A place to open your eyes, to feast on exceptional food, but above all to relax and breathe deeply.

Just 100 km south of Munich and 1000 m above sea level lies Schloss Elmau, a resort nestled deep in the Bavarian Alps. A true sanctuary of tranquillity, framed by spectacular peaks, forests and streams… Immerse yourself in this postcard!

Comprising two luxury hotels, Schloss Elmau is a large-scale resort. The Luxury Spa and Cultural Hideaway Hotel has two room types: single (25 m²) and double (55 m²); while the Luxury Suites and Spa Retreat is divided into Junior Suites (80 m²) and Suites (200 m²). There are 123 rooms and suites in all, featuring contemporary European furnishings and top-of-the-range amenities. Stunning views from every room enhance the resort’s picturesque charm.

Everything, everything, everything for wellness

Within this award-winning spa, you’ll also find large relaxation rooms with open fireplaces and picture windows offering breathtaking views. Sweating in a sauna has never been so pleasant!

The resort organizes frequent yoga retreats. The latest program can be found on the hotel’s website. It also has a Pilates studio. As well as being full of hiking ideas, Schloss Elmau is located close to a number of Germany’s most beautiful castles, so if you’re feeling fit, grab a bike (provided by the hotel) and take a ride through the beautiful countryside!

…and nine restaurants!

Schloss Elmau has nine restaurants, so there really is something for everyone! German, Italian or even Thai cuisine, the plates here are skilfully orchestrated. The Luce d’Oro restaurant has even been awarded a Michelin star. For those looking for more detox cuisine, head for the spa’s restaurant, “Ananda”.
