As I live in Salzburg, we opted to book the Day Spa at Puradies to spend a full day in their mountain wellness centre. We had access to over 3000m² of world-class, calming and beautifully designed wellness spaces including their 5000m² natural bathing lake with an integrated infinity pool from 9:00am to 8:00pm as well as a buffet breakfast.
We arrived and parked our car in the outdoor parking lot and stepped inside the low key lobby where we were greeted with the same level of service as if we were overnight guests. Our bags were looked after as we were guided through the hotel to the breakfast room where a few different rooms were spread with a breakfast buffet featuring local produce and plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options; I can highly recommend the porridge.
After breakfast, we collected our bags from reception and were provided with a tote containing our fluffy bathrobes and slippers for our day in the spa. We were led to the entrance of the wellness area where we got ready in the changing room. While you need to bring your own swimwear for the outdoor area, the rest is provided by the hotel, including shampoo, body wash, towels, bath robes, slippers and body lotion.
After donning our bathrobes, we had a big, empty day stretching out before us, just waiting for us to fill it with wellness indulgements. As we were some of the first guests into the spa and intent on making the most out of our day pass, we promptly undertook a complete tour of the space, visiting every room, sauna and pool to snap a few photos before other guests began to filter in.
There are two wellness areas, one is for adults only. Here, there is a main silent relaxation room, a number of different kinds of saunas, a yoga studio, an upstairs café, indoor and outdoor pools of various temperatures and of course the iconic outdoor space with the gigantic natural pool overlooking the mountains of Leogang.
