Our primary objective is to orchestrate physical, mental, emotional,
social and spiritual components to produce a sense of total well-being.
To achieve this objective we offer a wide range of interesting,
exciting and even exotic experiences that fall into a number of
distinct categories. "Internal" arts such as meditation
and yoga allow one to access their "inner wisdom", to
better integrate mind and body.
An important part of our offering is a range of therapies that
incorporate the healing power of "touch" that facilitate
relaxation, disease prevention and general health. Massage, in particular,
addresses the two most common debilitating effects of modern life
-- the underuse and overuse of our bodies.
As a guest you will also be able to profit from a wide variety
other spa services, including therapeutic, regenerative and luxurious
facial & body treatments. All treatments are specially designed
and offered by our professionally trained team of therapists.
Through our hi-tech fitness centre, activity room, lap pool and
various outdoor activities, we encourage and promote an active lifestyle.
Our Bademeisters will ensure that you get the most out of your spa
experience and, in addition, offer health & fitness testing
and personal training. To complete the wellness experience, exquisite
spa cuisine, is offered by our internationally acclaimed chef through
the AltiraSPA Wellness menu.
AltiraSPA has recently been included in Bernard Burt’s “100
Best Spas of the World”.
