Take some time out, do something good for your body, increase your personal well-being and simply lie back and relax – something we rarely have time for in our busy lives. This is why it’s so important to purposefully enjoy some down time and regain your inner balance. Wellness is the keyword here. Lots of Flair Hotels offer their guests an oasis of relaxation for this reason. We show you what you can expect from wellness with Flair.

What exactly does wellness mean?

What is wellness exactly? The term “wellness” is not protected it can mean different offers. At the end of the day, it’s simply about spoiling yourself and unwinding. Wellness treatments can include visits to the sauna, an aromatherapy session, massages, spas, sporting activities, yoga, a facial mask or simply good food. That’s for you to decide, since not all treatments are for everyone. You have to find out what’s good for your own body and soul. It’s always important to schedule in lots of time to rest. If you rush through your wellness treatment, you’re not going to find your inner peace.

If you’re looking to treat yourself to more than just a day of downtime at home with a good book and a cup of tea under the duvet, you need to book a stay in a good hotel with a wellness area. This can recharge your batteries, especially now in the colder time of the year. A few Flair Hotels are also geared towards wellness guests. We present the wellness areas of a few Flair Hotels here.

The Kranich-Insel in the Flair Hotel Weiss

The brand-new spa in the Flair Hotel Weiss in Angermünde (Uckermark) is called the “Kranich-Insel”. “A unique relaxation oasis awaits our guests,” says hotel manager Roy Weiss intriguingly. The Kranich-Insel is designed as a small, cosy village in Uckermark with half-timbered houses. You will find saunas in each “stall” and in the “barns”. In addition to a Finnish sauna (95 degrees), the bio sauna enriched with essential oils (60 to 65 degrees) and the “Kranichnest” with fresh herb hay from local meadows in the infrared sauna (40 degrees) offer pure relaxation. The old “goat shed” with rock salt is a salt cave sauna (50 to 60 degrees). The stone releases its salts in accurately regulated, moist air. This is a special treat for your skin and respiratory tract.

In the middle of the village, am Mühlstein, the ice fountain cools you down after your sauna. “Our shower temple with rain shower heads, splash shower, pails and Kneipp hose guarantee a real water experience,” says Roy Weiss. The heated bench with its foot basins ensures your circulation is stimulated after your sauna session.

A relaxing highlight of the Uckermark sauna village is the resting area with oversized glass atrium. “It encourages you to spend time daydreaming or to gaze up at the starry sky between sauna sessions – by the fireside, on first-class relaxation beds and with a view of the clear sky,” says the hotelier, making you long for some down time. The Kranich-Insel’s offer is completed by peelings and massages.

Sauerland relaxation in the Flair Hotel Nieder

Rest, relaxation and tranquillity is offered by “Quellkraft”, the Nieder nature spa. This is the wellness area belonging to the Flair Hotels Nieder in Bestwig-Ostwig (Sauerland).. “Here you can switch odd and enjoy the Sauerland in its best light,” promises hotel manager Josef Nieder. In addition to an aroma sauna and a steam bath with a minty aroma, the Finnish cabin sauna allows you to relax at 85 degrees. Spacious wellness showers complete the range of services offered. At the end of your session, a separate rest area is available in the winter garden, providing a great view of the natural lake swimming area. A fireplace provides cosy warmth in autumn and winter.

The whole Quellkraft spa is designed in the Sauerland style, thus provides a pleasant atmosphere. “The large natural lake swimming area in the picturesque setting of our garden area also offers relaxation and vitality,” explains Josef Nieder. With a fully biological constructed wetland, this is wonderfully refreshing in the summer and excellent for cooling off after a sauna session during the colder times of the year. “Our garden area always gives you the opportunity to relax in the fresh air surrounded by a wonderful array of blooms,” says the hotelier.

The offers available in the Quellkraft spa also comprise various aromatic Sauerland massages and a number of additional wellness treatments such as basic body and facial treatments that offer a special sense of well-being. Medically recognised and certified natural cosmetics emphasise the word natural in the natural spa. “Here you can escape from everyday life with a unique wellness offering and let yourself be pampered far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” says hotel manager Nieder.

Haus der Sinne in the Flair Hotel Zum Schwarzen Reiter

You find yourself in the “Haus der Sinne” when you enter the wellness area in the Flair Hotel Schwarzer Reiter in Horgau (Bavarian Swabia region). All offers are coordinated with the four basic elements of fire, water, air and earth. “The four elements theory states that everything consists of these four basic elements,” explains hotel manager Brigitte Platzer. “We work with them in the wellness area to harmonise the senses.” You can feel and experience the four elements in the Haus der Sinne with all of your senses.

Go on a journey of self-discovery in the “fiery” tecaldarium, in the “earthy” soft and outside sauna, in the steam bath in the “water” element and in the quiet winter garden where the “earth” is warmed by the “sun”, and “air” and “earth” are combined in the thermal loungers. The wellness guests can also enjoy an ice grotto, a multi-sensory shower and a shed sauna. Three harmoniously designed treatment rooms invite you enjoy relaxing, invigorating and fortifying back massages, element baths, couples treatments and wellness and Ayurvedic massages. A top-quality fitness room is also available.

If you want to relax, switch off and stimulate your senses, you can also stay overnight. Rooms and suites are available here that are also designed based on the four elements. In the Fire Suite for example, a stream of lava flows down the wall, whereas birds hover on the walls in the Air Suite. All rooms and suites in the House of Senses have a lifestyle bathroom. This means that wet areas such as multi-sensory showers, shower temples, bathtubs, softwhirl tubs or whirlpools are integrated in the living room.

The offers available in the Quellkraft spa also comprise various aromatic Sauerland massages and a number of additional wellness treatments such as basic body and facial treatments that offer a special sense of well-being. Medically recognised and certified natural cosmetics emphasise the word natural in the natural spa. “Here you can escape from everyday life with a unique wellness offering and let yourself be pampered far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” says hotel manager Nieder.

The 350 square metre sauna and cosmetic area in the Flair Hotel Landgasthof Roger in Löwenstein-Hößlinsülz (Heilbronn region) promises pure relaxation. “Indulge in some time out and leave stress behind,” tempts host Michael Roger. Wellness guests will find everything their heart desires in his hotel: a Finnish sauna, bio sauna, steam bath, whirlpool, plunge pool, solarium, heated bench, multi-sensory showers, relaxation beds and a lovely outside area. “You automatically recharge your batteries here,” says Michael Roger.

In the “Bella Toskana” beauty area, you can relax during various cosmetic treatments, energy massages or soothing baths. How would you like a hot chocolate whole body massage, or a rose bath – a luxury bath for all the senses? The Ayurvedic Abhyanga whole body massage or the Sung Rei-Exotic Oil Colour Massage also guarantee some pleasant hours. If that’s not enough, there’s also the beauty day for her or the wellness day for him.
