Schloss Elmau is the relaxation haven you’ve been dreaming of.
Tucked behind the misty Bavarian peaks and in between the trees of the forest, you find an expanse of lush green grass in the summer and a blanket of crisp white snow in the winter. It’s almost hard to believe that within this remote alpine sanctuary lies six spas, cocoons that serve gourmet cuisine, inspiring retreat offerings, sports activities and amenities unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, and programs for kids and teens to tire even the most energetic to the core. And, guess what? YOLO Travel can take you there…
Nestled in a valley in the Bavarian Alps, you experience the balance of the Hideaway wing and the more modern, Retreat wing of the hotel. Both offer luxury of space, with the Retreat offering privacy, and Hideaway offering diversity. Not only can you experience the luxury resort aspect of the hotel, but Schloss Elmau hosts classical concerts, lectures, retreats, and even government summits too.
With YOLO Travel, you can rest assured you will be taken care of. Whether you want to stay for two weeks or attend an event for just an evening, YOLO Travel can make it happen—expertly.
Schloss Elmau hosts six distinct spas that cater to either adults or family and include heated pools that wash away your worries and stress with ease.
The six spas include:
At this Bavarian Alpine spa sanctuary, you can experience a taste of wellness from all over the world. From Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Finnish saunas, to Pilates and Tai Chi—as well as QiGong, and a Jivamukti Yoga Centre!—you have all your wellness needs seen to in an almost overkill sort of way. Or should we say, over-revitalised?
The wellness philosophy at this luxury wellness retreat in Europe can therefore be summed up as:
From sunrise to sunset, find yourself encapsulated in a wellness bubble with forest walks, meditative swims, evening concerts and mind-enriching lectures. Your wellness spa experiences will be seamlessly woven into retreat schedules—aligning with your needs rather than serving as optional add-ons. Catering to both solitude seekers and family groups, there’s a spot for everyone to coexist in this serenity.
In the heart of Bavaria, Schloss Elmau stands out as a place where time slows down, your body heals, and new inspiration can flow.
