Discovering the Susanne Kaufmann Hotel and Spa in Austria
Feel like succumbing to the call of nature? Austria is home to a little wellness paradise: Hotel Post Bezau. An exceptional place dedicated to health and well-being, run by none other than the founder of one of our cult brands: Susanne Kaufmann. We take you on a tour of this jewel in the heart of the Austrian Alps.
A holiday designed around nutrition and movement
At Hotel Post Bezau, every meal becomes a ritual. Our menus, composed of fresh, local, seasonal ingredients, combine delicate flavors with nourishing virtues. During retreats, detox or personalized meals awaken the palate while revitalizing the inner energy, embodying the hotel's philosophy: healthy eating can be a pleasure for the senses as much as a treatment for the body.
Gentle movement is the rhythm of every day: yoga with a view of the mountains, Qi Gong at the edge of the Alpine forests or meditative walks along the paths of the Bregenzerwald. Rest areas and relaxation rituals invite you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect body and mind. Here, every gesture is designed to promote mental relaxation and restful sleep, and to restore a sense of inner harmony away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
At the spa, relaxation is not limited to treatments. Saunas with mountain views, heated pools and relaxation areas offer moments of contemplation and rejuvenation. Here, the body relaxes, the mind soothes and each visit becomes a sensory journey, a precious interlude where we learn to listen to our needs and reconnect with our inner balance.
The Susanne Kaufmann spa: a sanctuary for body and mind
Fifteen years earlier, it was here that Susanne Kaufmann conceived the beginnings of her brand: products combining cutting-edge active ingredients and alpine plants from the surrounding nature, to complement the benefits of the massages and treatments provided. Today, the Susanne Kaufmann spa is a veritable sanctuary dedicated to regeneration and serenity. The light-filled, soberly decorated space, with its light wood, local stone and warm textures, invites you to relax in a cocoon where time seems suspended.
The treatments on offer go far beyond aesthetics: they are designed to balance body and mind, in line with a holistic approach that blends scientific expertise with Alpine traditions. Our therapists, trained in the most advanced techniques, personalize each massage, body wrap or facial according to individual needs, making each appointment a unique, sensory ritual. The rich, enveloping textures, combined with the precise movements of expert hands, create a sensation of lightness and deep well-being.
Day 2: The day begins with a yoga class, facing the mountains. No noise, just the sound of nature coming alive. I then discover the ectoin facial (one of Susanne's favorite active ingredients, super-soothing and rebuilding the skin barrier). The result: plumped, smoothed skin. My face is drained and any remaining tension in my shoulders is gone.
Day 3: Last plant-based meal. Here, you can choose the detox option, but it's not a punishment. Gone are the 3 boiled vegetables. The chef has mastered the blend of flavors and textures to perfection, and the seasoning is superbly crafted. I hesitate to ask him if he's thought of moving to Paris...
Conclusion: I'll definitely be going back! For this level of performance and service, it's a gift to be (re)made absolutely!" - Marion, Experience and Expertise Manager
