Experience Overview: Spa-Breakfast at St. Martins Therme & Lodge
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape that combines luxury, nature, and wellness, the Spa-Breakfast at St. Martins Therme & Lodge is a wonderful choice. At just $70 per person, this experience offers a full day of soaking in thermal waters, savoring regional breakfast specialties, and unwinding in Austria’s only lakeside thermal spa. Located in Burgenland, surrounded by stunning natural scenery, this day trip feels like a retreat from everyday stress.
What we especially like about this experience are the beautiful lakeside setting, which adds an authentic natural touch to your relaxation, and the well-designed thermal water facilities that cater to both indoor and outdoor preferences. The chance to enjoy Summer Island, with its sandy shores and clear water, from May to September, gives an almost tropical vibe right in Austria.
One potential consideration is that towels and bathrobes are not included in the base ticket and must be rented or brought along, which adds a small extra cost. Also, while sauna access is available, it costs an additional fee, so plan accordingly if that’s a priority for your relaxation.
This experience suits travelers who value a laid-back, scenic environment with plenty of options for total rejuvenation. It’s especially ideal if you enjoy combining good food with soothing wellness activities, and if you appreciate authentic, natural settings rather than overly commercialized spa chains.

A Detailed Look at the Experience
The Location and Setting
The Burgenland region is renowned for its peaceful landscapes, and St. Martins Therme & Lodge takes full advantage of this setting. The spa’s lakeside position grants visitors the rare opportunity to relax with views of a private 8-hectare lake, which is especially inviting during the warmer months. The natural beauty of the surroundings creates a calm, almost meditative atmosphere that’s hard to replicate in urban spa environments.
The Morning Gourmet Breakfast
Your day begins at the Market Restaurant, where from 09:00 to 10:30 a.m., a buffet of regional specialties awaits. The spread includes fresh pastries, cheeses, eggs, smoked fish, fruit, coffee, and juices, all served with a view of the tranquil lake. We loved the way this breakfast sets the tone for the day—simple, hearty, and beautifully presented.
The breakfast isn’t just fuel; it’s part of the experience, emphasizing high-quality local ingredients and thoughtful presentation. It’s ideal for early risers who want to start their day in a serene setting and enjoy a leisurely meal before heading into the pools.

After breakfast, the real relaxation begins. The 2,000 m² thermal water world features indoor and outdoor pools, set in a peaceful environment with plenty of loungers and sun decks. We loved how easy it was to float in the warm thermal waters, especially in the outdoor pools where you can enjoy the fresh air and views.
From May to September, the Summer Island is a major highlight—an inviting sandy beach with crystal-clear water and loungers, reminiscent of a tropical getaway. The review from Itay captures this well: “The spa was great, indoor and outdoor pools, and outdoor lake where you can swim in the summer!”
Sauna and Relaxation
For those who enjoy sauna rituals, the Caribbean Sauna World offers 11 themed saunas and steam rooms. While the sauna access incurs an additional 16 EUR, those who indulge will find a variety of themed spaces to detox and unwind. The infusion schedule adds an extra layer of relaxation, making it worth considering if sauna time is a priority.
Additional Comforts
Towels and bathrobes are available to rent at the spa counter for around 8 EUR, which is a handy option if you prefer not to bring your own. The relaxation areas and thermal retreats are thoughtfully designed to encourage lingering and unwinding.
Weather Guarantee and Year-Round Comfort
One of the great advantages of this experience is the 100% bathing weather guarantee—indoor and outdoor pools are open year-round, so you never need to worry about the weather ruining your plans. Whether it’s a sunny summer day or a chilly winter morning, your thermal soak awaits.
Authenticity and Value
Considering the price of $70, this experience offers good value—especially when you factor in the full-day access, the lakeside setting, and the quality of facilities. It’s a comprehensive wellness package that combines nature, comfort, and good food.
We found the reviews echo this sentiment; Itay’s comment highlights the indoor and outdoor pools and the outdoor lake as major positives, with a gentle reminder about extra costs for towels and sauna access.
