Our Ayurveda hotel in Austria provides authentic, all-inclusive care from qualified Ayurvedic specialists, as well as space to pause, rediscover yourself and recharge your batteries.

Ancient Indian medicine adapted to European lifestyles and needs: this is the European Ayurveda® concept. We have developed traditional Ayurvedic methods, recipes and therapeutic techniques, and combined them with Western scientific knowledge.

The result is a balanced programme for physical, mental and spiritual cleansing, consisting of 6 pillars:

Ayurvedic medicine considers the whole person – mind, body and soul – as one. We need to nurture all three areas to maintain a healthy and balanced life.

Whether that means nourishing food, relaxing massages or contemplative meditation, at the Mandira we spare no effort in making you feel at ease, both physically and mentally. You are at the heart of everything we do, and our personalised programmes are geared towards your needs.

Ayurveda is commonly associated with feel-good massages and Yoga poses – but it is so much more than a wellness programme. Rooted in a far-reaching philosophy and ancient understanding of health, its teachings originated in India and are even taught there at university level.

An important element of Ayurveda are the Doshas – the three basic principles that are present in everyone. People can be divided into three types, depending on which Dosha is dominant: Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Every stay at the Mandira Resort starts with a consultation with our Ayurveda specialists to determine your personal Dosha type. This forms the basis for your optimal treatment programme.

The verdant, unspoiled Styrian countryside with its expansive vineyards makes this the perfect spot for a health resort. It has a lot to offer, not least because of the sincere and charming hospitality of the local residents, who make guests feel most welcome.

But it is the goldmine of healing thermal springs that makes the Styrian thermal spa region really stand out. Styrian thermal waters meet Indian medicine: our Ayurveda hotel in Bad Waltersdorf gives you the best of both worlds.

The Ayurveda hotel is suitable for anyone craving peace and relaxation or simply looking for a break from everyday life. A cleansing Ayurveda treatment programme is also a great preventative measure and health boost. Shed damaging emotional baggage and gain clarity and vitality instead.

Ayurvedic treatments have also proven to be effective against a range of specific complaints:

Whether you come to us with specific problems or you simply yearn for a spot of pampering, we will teach you how to listen to your body and live at one with yourself. Our aim is that guests return to a more harmonious way of life for the long term.

At the start of your stay, our Ayurveda experts carry out a detailed pulse diagnosis and ask questions about your medical history to determine your Dosha type as well as your current physical and emotional state of health. This forms the basis for the special treatment plan drawn up for each guest, including Ayurvedic treatments and alternative healing methods.

Eat your way to wellbeing – that’s our maxim at the Mandira! Nutrition is extremely important in Ayurvedic therapy. Our kitchen team prepares delicious, easily digestible meals containing regional ingredients – prepared according to specially developed European Ayurveda® recipes. Guests receive a personally tailored diet plan that corresponds to their Dosha type.

Yoga, meditation and mindfulness help us to find our centre and be at peace with ourselves. By using conscious breathing techniques, concentration exercises and relaxation, we can focus completely on the moment and free ourselves from obstructive thoughts. In addition to daily Yoga and meditation sessions, the Mandira also offers special Yoga retreats.

The European Ayurveda® philosophy is designed to guide people on their journey to a fulfilled and balanced lifestyle. With mind coaching, holistic coaching and Ayurvedic psychology, we strive to help our guests achieve an autonomous, happy life, filled with self-confidence and ease.

Time to get active! Exercise feels good and harmonises body and soul. Whether it’s Yoga, strength training, swimming or cycling, our hotel and the surrounding Styrian hill country offer countless opportunities to get your blood pumping.

We also trust in the scientific findings of evidence-based Western medicine. The European Ayurveda® concept integrates conventional medicine with alternative healing methods. A team of general practitioners works closely with the Ayurveda specialists to guarantee the best treatment possible.

The European Ayurveda® concept uniquely combines Indian wisdom with Western practices. Ayurvedic tradition teaches us a new, holistic view of people, as well as gifting us gentle and effective treatment methods. We develop recipes and treatment programmes based on these principles but tailored to the problems of modern European society.

Ayurveda can support you with:

Our common goal is to guide our guests on their journey to lasting health and harmony. Experience the power of Ayurveda and discover a new attitude to life!
