Spa Resort Styria, Austria

• Marrying modernity with thermal tradition: While alpine spa towns usually conjure up images of wooden lodges or converted stone cottages, Spa Resort Styria is a decidedly different affair. A thoroughly contemporary structure made mostly of glass, this modern spa haven brings wellness into the 21st century with surprising ease. You'll find sleek ultra-modern interiors, and comfortable rooms offering further relaxation after wellness-intensive days.

• A culinary journey through Styria: Placing an emphasis on regional products and collaborating with local suppliers, the hotel prides itself on its farm-to-table philosophy. A mouthwatering menu of local dishes with a touch of cosmopolitan magic graces the à la carte dinner menu, while the same care is taken over the buffet breakfast and in the stylish Saphyria bar.

• Drink it in: Undeniably the main attraction, the resort's Gold Spa is an all-encompassing oasis of relaxation. With heated indoor and outdoor pools and a range of soothing massages and traditional treatments available, a world of tranquillity awaits. Why not spend precious moments gazing out towards the manicured gardens, while hopping between the infrared cabin, aromatic steam bath, and herbal, Finnish and earth saunas?
