Spa etiquette at Hotel Klosterbräu Seefeld

Our spa is a sanctuary where you can leave everyday life behind and immerse yourself in a world of relaxation. To create a harmonious atmosphere for all our guests, we kindly ask you to follow a few simple conduct guidelines. These ensure that everyone feels welcome and respected. Whether you are visiting a spa for the first time or are a seasoned guest, these tips will help you fully enjoy your experience with us. While each spa has its own philosophy, peace, respect, and mindfulness are always at the core.

Respect for peace and relaxation: Our spa is a place of tranquillity. Conversations should be kept to a minimum and spoken in a soft tone. Please respect the need for silence, as many guests use this time to unwind and recharge.

Mobile phone use: We encourage a digital detox in our wellness oasis. Mobile phones should be switched off or set to silent. Playing loud music or watching videos is not allowed. If you take photos, please ensure that no other guests are visible to maintain privacy and allow everyone to enjoy the atmosphere undisturbed.

Reserving loungers: To ensure fairness, please do not reserve loungers with towels or personal items when not in use. Our wellness area offers plenty of comfortable spots for relaxation.

Hygiene and cleanliness: Please shower before using pools, saunas, or whirlpools. This not only maintains water quality but also prepares your body for optimal relaxation. In relaxation areas, we recommend wearing dry swimwear or a bathrobe for a hygienic and comfortable spa experience.

Respectful behaviour: Our spa is a shared space, and mindfulness towards others is key. Please respect the personal space of fellow guests, particularly in textile-free sauna areas. Loud or disruptive behaviour should be avoided to maintain a serene atmosphere.

General dress code: Appropriate attire is essential for comfort and hygiene in our spa. We provide you with high-quality bathrobes and spa slippers to use during your stay. Wearing suitable clothing also enhances your overall relaxation experience.

Sauna area: For hygiene reasons, most of our saunas follow a textile-free policy. If you feel uncomfortable, you’re welcome to use a towel for coverage. Our textile-free saunas are for guests aged 16 and over, ensuring a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

Family-friendly sauna: For families, we offer a dedicated textile sauna, where children can experience the benefits of sauna bathing in a comfortable setting with temperatures around 60°C.

At Hotel Klosterbräu’s spa, mental relaxation is just as important as physical well-being. Our wellness areas are designed to provide you with a space for mindfulness and deep relaxation. Take this opportunity to focus entirely on yourself –breathe deeply, let go of daily stress, and enjoy the present moment. Our relaxation rooms feature comfortable loungers and soothing lighting, ideal for meditation, mindfulness exercises, or simply letting your thoughts drift. True relaxation comes from within, and only by achieving inner peace can you fully benefit from your spa experience.

A spa visit is not only a treat for the soul but also for the body. To enhance the benefits, be mindful of nutrition and hydration before and after your visit. We recommend having a light meal before your spa session to avoid strain on the body. Our nutritious breakfast with fresh, regional ingredients provides the perfect start to your day.

Drinking plenty of water, especially after sauna sessions or treatments, is essential. Sweating causes fluid loss, which needs to be replenished. Refreshing water and herbal teas are available throughout our spa. Avoid alcohol and caffeine before or during your visit, as they can stress the circulatory system.

A well-planned spa day enhances relaxation. Here’s how to make the most of your visit:

1. Start your day right: Enjoy a balanced breakfast to fuel your body for the day.
2. Book treatments in advance: Secure your preferred time slots by booking treatments early.
3. Mix activities and relaxation: Alternate between gentle movement (such as swimming or yoga) and quiet moments in the sauna or on a lounger.
4. Schedule rest breaks: Allow for sufficient downtime between sauna sessions and treatments. Read a book or simply unwind.
5. Stay hydrated: Drink water or tea regularly throughout the day.
6. Wind down: End your spa day with a soothing massage and a light dinner to relax both body and mind.

Preparation: Before entering the sauna, please shower and dry off thoroughly. This enhances sweating and maintains hygiene in the sauna area.

Entering and exiting: When entering the sauna, close the doors quickly to maintain the temperature. Always place a large towel under your entire body to avoid direct contact with the wooden benches. When you are finished with a sauna session, please bring your sitting towel with you.

Duration & breaks: Stay in the sauna for 10 to 15 minutes, followed by at least 15 minutes of rest to allow your body to rebalance. Drink plenty of fluids and listen to your body’s signals.

Infusion rituals (“aufguss”): Our regular sauna infusions create an intense heat and aromatic experience. Enjoy the scent and use this time for deep breathing and relaxation.

Booking: Our treatments are in high demand. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time. Our spa team will be happy to answer your questions and find the right treatment for you.

Arrival: Arrive at least 10 minutes early for your treatment to allow yourself time to relax beforehand. Showering before a massage enhances the experience.

Personalisation: Feel free to communicate your preferences or health concerns with your therapist. This helps us tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

Age restrictions: Most areas of our spa, including saunas and two of our three whirlpools, are reserved for guests aged 16 and above to ensure a serene environment.

Family-friendly options: Children are welcome in our family-textile sauna and the heated outdoor pool. Nearby, Olympia Pool Seefeld and Alpenbad Leutasch offer additional family-friendly wellness experiences.

Sustainability is a central concern for us at Hotel Klosterbräu, and a matter very close to our hearts. This is also reflected in our spa area. We rely on environmentally friendly practices and products to preserve our nature and its treasures:

Energy: we obtain our energy from renewable sources and use Seefeld's local bio-heat to heat our pools and saunas. Efficient technologies help us to minimise energy consumption.

Natural cosmetics: For our treatments, we use high-quality natural cosmetic products that are free from harmful chemicals and are produced in a sustainable way. Brands such as Team Dr Joseph support our commitment to natural care.

Water and towels: We ask our guests to use towels consciously and in doing so, make a contribution to conserving resources. Modern filter systems also ensure efficient water treatment in our pools.

What should I bring to the spa? Apart from your swimwear, you don't need anything else. Bathrobes, towels, and slippers are provided by us.

What should I do during a sauna infusion (“aufguss”)? During an infusion, we ask you to remain seated and not to leave the sauna. If you do need to leave the room, please do so discreetly and close the door quickly behind you.

Are children allowed in the spa? Some areas, including our adults-only wellness areas, are reserved for guests aged 16 and above. However, we offer family-friendly options, including a textile sauna and a heated outdoor pool.

What should I do if I have any questions? Our spa team is always on hand to help. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
