Time for health and beauty:
Germany’s spas offer
individual well-being programs
DZT - Wellness is not a magic formula, but an essential requirement for health and welfare.
More than 300 classic health centres in Germany have recognized this for a long time and offer their guests up-to-date packages for health vacations.
Surrounded by beautiful landscapes and a healthy climate and promoted by rejuvenation concepts for the individual, the body, soul and spirit are brought into their natural balance.
Everything that is healthy, that makes one vital and lovely, gives a positive outlook on life.
Whether you want an anti-stress seminar, a beauty program or a basic check-up – the way to regeneration is easy because the German spas meet the challenge with innovative and creative ideas.
Bathe in scent, light and colour
What would life be without light, colour and scent?
The healing power of scent was used by the ancient Egyptians 5,000 years ago. And that the body reacts to light is well-known.
Properly used, light has a wonderful therapeutic effect on the organism – this, too, is ancient wisdom.
The palette of offers for aroma-, colour- and light therapy is varied and makes one wish to increase one’s beauty and well-being.
Beauty from the sea
Bathing in the sea means pure rejuvenation. Seawater is living; plankton, sea salt and algae deliver amino acid, mineral salts, trace elements and vitamins that are necessary for life.
With "Thalasso" beauty comes from the sea and the therapy works like a true fountain of youth. Guests can experience the bliss of this pampering treatment in many German spas. For example, the Thalasso Farm at the Steigenberger Hotel Badischer Hof in Baden-Baden offers expert care.
No chance for stress
Stress takes many forms and has many causes. Therefore, the solutions should also be varied.
Anti-stress experts know exactly what brings the body, soul and spirit into harmony once again and therefore create individual programs. Regeneration cures – including vitalizing baths, foot reflex-zone massages, meditation, relaxation techniques, fitness training and much more – get right to the point and stress has no chance.
Wellness Packages
Between lifestyle and relaxation in Baden-Baden
Forty-two hotels in Baden-Baden make the wishes and demands of their guests the centre of their individual packages.
Those who want to enjoy absolute luxury or experience culture on the highest level will be pampered with a suitable program, just as those who are seeking rejuvenation can find a proper anti-stress program.
It’s hard to choose from more than 60 attractive special arrangements. Among the offers are "Champagne Days for People in Love," lifestyle & spa, beauty-, wellness-, golf- and festival packages, "Baden Coziness" and "Get to Know Baden-Baden."

Thalasso at a North Sea dike
Mud and sea salt, sea water and algae are sea products that have been valued for their healing and prevention effects since the days of the ancient Greeks.
