A short distance from Lake Neusiedl lies St. Martins Spa. Lake Neusiedl is the largest lake in the entire region and is actually at the center of a beautiful nature reserve full of animals and plants. A short distance from the lake and the nature reserve is a high-quality spa complex with an adjoining 4-star hotel. You don’t have to stay at the hotel to enjoy the spa complex; you can come for a day or just a few hours.
This is what St. Martins Spa and the hotel look like:
What can you do at St. Martins Spa?
The spa complex includes several pampering attractions for couples and families, both indoors and outdoors. There are 3 outdoor pools and 5 indoor pools. Most of the pools are heated and contain salt and mineral water. You can sit and rest on padded beds in the quiet area as well as by the pools and look out at the nature of the reserve, which is visible through the large glass windows. For families, there are dedicated seating areas, small islands where you can all sit together and spend time in privacy and comfort.
In the sauna world, there are Finnish saunas at 90 degrees Celsius and also regular saunas at 60 degrees Celsius. After spending time in the hot saunas, you can enter the hotel’s private lake area and swim in the cool water.
The spa complex has a play area for children as well as swimming pools for them with water attractions, a slide, and more. In addition, there is a playroom with educational activities for children where they can learn about the animals and plants of the nature reserve.
In the spa’s beauty treatment area, you can receive facials, massages, pedicures, manicures, and more. Additionally, in the summer, there are a variety of activities on the shore of the spa’s lake. You can swim in the lake or sit and drink a refreshing cocktail at the spa’s bar, located outside the building.
Activities Outside the Spa
Especially for hotel guests, there is an option to combine activities in nature and not just stay inside the spa all day. There are many walking/running trails and also bike paths. In addition, there are two fun activities exclusive to spa visitors:
- “Safari Trip”: The nature reserve around the spa is a real safari. Many animals roam freely, and you can watch them during a fun tour through the fields and water bodies.

- Paddleboarding: Since there is a large lake right next to the spa, you can rent a paddleboard and go for a fun paddle around the lake. This is a sporty and fun experience for hot sunny days. During the paddle, you can see the birds in the reserve and other animals hiding in the thicket of plants.
