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 1500m² of world-class, calming and beautifully designed wellness spaces including their 10,000m² outdoor space from 10:30am to 8:00pm as well as a buffet breakfast (7:00-10:30am) and a light afternoon lunch buffet.
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 joy and 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; 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 downstairs 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 and pool to snap a few photos before other guests began to filter in.
The general wellness area is spread across two floors with various relaxation rooms, indoor access through to the outdoor pool and a cafe. There is a separate adults-only sauna section with a few different kinds of saunas and multiple floors of relaxation areas to choose from. A large natural outdoor pond and a beautiful yoga studio finishes the space.
