Sometimes there just isn’t enough time for a long flight to the coast, even though the longing for warm sand is strong. However, you don’t have to travel far to experience that authentic beach feeling in Upper Austria . Right in the heart of the Innviertel, you’ll find a sprawling water park that captivates visitors with its white sandy beach and real palm trees.

After about a 2.5-hour drive from Vienna , you’ll reach the spacious resort. As soon as you enter the resort, the hustle and bustle of the city gives way to a serene wellness experience set within a water area totaling 3,000 square meters. You also have your choice of five different pools filled with thermal water, fresh water, or saltwater .

Relaxation in saltwater and eleven themed saunas
The large outdoor saltwater lagoon, in particular, leaves your skin feeling wonderful as you enjoy the gentle sound of the water. The healing salt from the primordial sea not only cleanses your pores but also relieves pressure on your joints. If you’re looking for some warmth afterward, the adjacent sauna world offers just the thing.
Here, you can work up a sweat in 11 different themed saunas and steam rooms, each designed with varying temperatures and humidity levels. For example, you can participate in guided “Aufguss” sessions led by the sauna masters. Afterward, cool off outdoors before settling in on the spacious lounging areas in the garden.
Tropical refreshments right at the bar

For a cool drink, you hardly need to leave your lounge chair in the soft sand. The resort’s own Caribbean Bar, located right by the lagoon, will provide you with fruity drinks. If you get a little hungry, the adjacent sauna bistro serves tasty snacks to tide you over.
As a result, you can spend the entire day relaxing in your bathrobe without having to leave the resort in Upper Austria. Nevertheless, it’s worth reserving your day passes in advance online , starting at €36. This ensures your admission and also grants you expedited check-in at the Fastlane upon arrival.
