An In-Depth Look at the Experience
The Spa-Breakfast at St. Martins Therme & Lodge is crafted for travelers craving a mix of comfort, nature, and wellness. The day begins at the Market Restaurant, where you’ll indulge in a gourmet breakfast buffet from 09:00 to 10:30 a.m. It offers regional delights like fresh pastries, cheeses, eggs, smoked fish, fruits, and hot beverages. Imagine sitting on a terrace or inside with panoramic views of the shimmering lake, fueling up with good food before your day of relaxation.
What makes this breakfast stand out isn’t just the quality but the setting. The peaceful lakefront scenery adds a sense of calm you might not find in typical hotel buffets. Travelers have appreciated the generous variety and the chance to savor regional specialties in such a serene atmosphere, making it a perfect start to a wellness-focused day.
Once you’ve finished your meal, your full access ticket grants entry to 2,000 m² of thermal water. That covers indoor and outdoor pools, all designed for lounging and swimming. The outdoor lakeside pools are especially appealing, offering a refreshing way to cool off or float lazily in warm thermal waters. For the summer months (May to September), there’s the Summer Island, a sandy, South Seas–style spot with crystal-clear water, sun loungers, and umbrellas. Such features give you the chance to unwind lakeside, listen to water lapping, and enjoy the natural beauty.
The Caribbean Sauna World is another highlight. With 11 themed saunas, steam rooms, and infusion schedules, it’s tailored for those who want to detox, sweat out stress, or simply relax in different environments. While sauna access costs extra (€16 as an on-site upgrade), many visitors find it well worth the splurge for total relaxation. The availability of relaxation zones, sun decks, and the Beach Bar—serving cocktails and snacks—means you can extend your leisure hours comfortably.
In reviewing visitor feedback, many emphasize the stunning scenery and friendly staff. One reviewer mentions, “The spa was great, indoor and outdoor pools, and the outdoor lake where you can swim in summer! The food was great!” while noting the towel rental fee (€8) and sauna surcharge. The overall consensus is that the experience offers excellent value—though, as with many spa days, extras can add up if you’re not prepared.
It’s also worth noting that the experience is accessible year-round, with indoor pools and thermal baths available even in cold weather. The full-day admission ensures you have ample time to enjoy everything at your own pace, without feeling rushed. The flexible cancellation policy (up to 24 hours in advance) makes planning easier, especially if weather or mood shifts.
