Why is the Therme Loipersdorf the Top Wellness Therme under the Styrian Spas?
We keep the Therme Loipersdorf in Austria for the top wellness spa among the Styria-Topics for several reasons.
Experience wellness – watch the video
Discover in our new video what a relaxing day in Loipersdorf feels like. The images showcase the tranquil areas, the warm water, and the unique atmosphere of this thermal spa. The video gives you a preview of what wellness in Loipersdorf is all about.
Visit with us the spa Loipersdorf
Wolfgang Wieser brings us in Four Seasons Thermenhotel Off we go. The friendly managing director of the Loipersdorf thermal baths wants to show us the "Life Spa." "Have you heard of the Loipersdorf broom finish?" he asks with a sly grin. We exchange puzzled glances. Proudly, he then points to the back wall of the hotel reception: "We're renovating the thermal baths and the hotels step by step. This wall can serve as an example. It's made from local volcanic clay and therefore represents the principle of sustainability. We place great importance on this in the thermal baths and in the hotels."
Those who want to experience the Loipersdorf thermal baths not just as a day trip, but are looking for peace and quiet, short distances and a private retreat, will find a particularly suitable accommodation directly at the thermal baths.
The Loipersdorfer Besentrich
“And what is the broom line,” we want to know. He laughs and explains, “When we put up the clay wall, we wanted to make it look attractive. The architect let me run my fingers through the damp clay. That didn't look good. Then we took a fork and pulled it through. That was too even. Then I saw a straw broom standing on the wall. I dragged this through the damp clay. Et voilà, the broom stroke of the Loipersdorf thermal baths was invented.”
The Therme Loipersdorf offers three areas for relaxation
We then find the Loipersdorfer broom mark in the entrance hall of the thermal bath. The thermal bath places value on regional products, charm as well as on zest for life. We feel that during our stay everywhere. In the farmers shop in the entrance hall of the spa as well as in the market restaurant. It offers almost exclusively products of the region. In our spa treatments according to the Loipersdorf method as well as in the fun park in the center of the thermal baths.
"Let go", "experience" and "strengths" are the three pillars. All activities and offers of the thermal bath are based on this. We can experience this both in the Lebensstherme, the health center and in the "Mein Schaffelbad", which celebrated its 2018th anniversary in 40.
The spa in the Schaffelbad the spa Loipersdorf
We are invited to test the wellness treatments according to the Loipersdorf method. We choose several applications. In addition to the aroma massage, I enjoy both the threefold feel-good experience and a silk glove massage. In addition to a herbal stamp massage Petar also gets a Stirasul pack on the waterbed. Together we experience the Steirasul partner treatment in the steam bath. This was the most impressive treatment for us during our stay at the Therme Loipersdorf.
With almost every treatment, we also experience the spirit of Southeast Styria "up close". In the form of grape seed oil as an aroma carrier. Because of the herbs from the region that provide the aroma during my aroma massage. With fango and volcanic cant, mixed with Zweigelt pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin seed cheese, which serves as a peeling for the Steirasul partner treatment in the steam bath.
There is also the thermal water from Loipersdorf. This comes to the surface from a depth of 63 meters at a temperature of 1200° Celsius. Its mineral content is 7.000 mg/l. This makes it seven times higher than the minimum required for it to be called medicinal water. That's why my skin feels years younger after three days of wellness treatment at the Loipersdorf thermal baths. And not just my skin. I also feel many years younger.
That's what you need for a visit to the spa
- A terrycloth bathrobe - I always like to take my own bathrobe with me, which is the one I feel most comfortable in. This is particularly convenient in the Loipersdorf thermal spa, because you can even spend several days here exploring the three thermal spa areas. You will also need it in the thermal spa restaurant, which won an award in 2018 for its Styrian cuisine.
- Swimsuit, Bikini for women and swimming trunks for men
- When it comes to flip-flops, we make sure that they are non-slip
- A beach bag in which you can store all your utensils
- A large bath towel
Alphasphere and salt grotto
In addition to a bath in the thermal water, we also treat ourselves to a stay in the Alphasphere. This one makes me curious just because of its appearance. It reminds me a little of a UFO. My experience in the Alphasphere is also spherical. I lie down on the blue lounger and let the sounds put me into a state of deep relaxation. I wake up refreshed after half an hour. The accompanying music is controlled by my own heartbeat. An incredible feeling! As if I were floating in a blue universe.
Our stay in the salt cave is similarly relaxing. It consists of lumps of salt that are 250 million years old. These come from the Himalayas. Because of the salt, spending half an hour in the salt cave is like taking a walk by the sea. It cleanses the respiratory tract, refreshes the skin and stimulates the metabolism. The effect of the salt chunks is supported by brine from the Dead Sea.
This doesn't replace a trip to the sea for me. However, the salt cave works wonders for my well-being. Just like our extended wellness weekend in the Loipersdorf thermal baths. If you want to do something good for yourself, then we can warmly recommend the thermal baths in Styria.

The best thermal spa in Austria - the Loipersdorf spa
I'm not alone in my opinion that the Loipersdorf Thermal Spa is the top wellness spa among Styria's thermal baths. Therme.at calls Loipersdorf Austria's best thermal resort. Visitors to the spa agree. In the 2018 industry monitor by the Austrian Society for Consumer Studies (ÖGVS), customers voted the Loipersdorf Thermal Spa the best spa in Austria in terms of customer satisfaction. We can't (yet) make this judgment from our own experience, as we haven't visited all the spas in the country. But so far, the Loipersdorf Thermal Spa has impressed us the most.
