Wellness & thermal water

Warm Gastein thermal water, gentle underwater music and views of the Gastein Valley peaks give wellness at Hotel Sonngastein its own special character. In our indoor and outdoor pools, water becomes pure wellbeing. Across 1,000 m², the light-filled spa area with saunas, relaxation zones and massages invites you to restore balance after mountain days, playtime or long evenings at the table.

Resort benefits outside the school holidays

Time for two

Every season in Bad Gastein has its own charm. Outside the school holidays, peace and togetherness take centre stage at Hotel Sonngastein. Wellness, thermal water, cuisine and varied activities are all still part of your stay – but the atmosphere feels noticeably calmer and more relaxed. Many couples use these weeks for a short break in Salzburg province and real time together: candlelit dinners, spa treatments for two and long evenings at the table create a sense of closeness that often gets lost in everyday life.
