As a Private Nature Luxury Resort WEISSENHAUS is a real retreat for the soul and creates a soothing distance from everyday life. A maximum of 120 guests, primarily relaxation-seeking spa and culinary connoisseurs, experience the special hospitality on the imposing 75 hectares of natural scenery in a direct beach location. All buildings and each room are individually unique. Partly with a fireplace, terrace or free-standing bathtub, the rooms offer a particularly high quality of stay, complemented by loving details. You'll find relaxation at the highest level in the 2,500-square-meter SCHLOSSTHERME with heated indoor and outdoor pools, an open-air brine pool, a hammam and rasul, six saunas, a private spa, several open wood-burning fireplaces, an active loft and a yoga pavilion. One of the most important assets, besides the vast natural idyll, is the culinary offerings. Whether a menu in the two-star Michelin restaurant COURTIER, Italian taste experiences in a direct beach location in the BOOTSHAUS or Asian worlds of flavors in the ASIABAR - they are all culinary delights that inspire.

In the modern hideaway on Lake Tegern, the best enjoyment, the finest tranquility and quiet luxury reign in combination with a great love for nature. The Mangfall Spa, named after the Bavarian Mangfall Mountains, is just the place for those seeking relaxation. The minimalist-elegant retreat offers a bio sauna, a salt sauna, a Finnish sauna as well as a ladies sauna and a steam bath. Afterwards, the ice lounge refreshes before you can head outdoors through the 20-meter pool. There the extensive hotel park offers sun couches in summer, shade places under old trees and enchanting mountain views - it's the ideal place, in order to simply switch off. High glass fronts skillfully bring nature indoors, and evergreen plantings create natural room separation and special retreats. The spa menu includes high-tech facials, body-slimming treatments and holistic massages. If you look for more relaxation you can book a time out in the private spa. Exercise enthusiasts have just as much choice: Hiking, biking, sailing, golfing and paragliding are on offer. Nature also reigns supreme in the gourmet restaurant Dichter: on the plate, on the palate and when looking out of the windows.
