Hotel
Europe’s only Ayurveda resort with its own thermal spring is set amid the enchanting landscapes of vineyards, sparkling rivers and village communities in Styria’s volcanic region. The resort offers an innovative Ayurveda & Beyond concept, combining bespoke treatment programmes, modern Western medicine and the traditional healing power of Ayurveda in a unique approach to lasting health and holistic wellbeing. Expertise and many years of experience are at the heart of this family-run resort, where individual needs are identified and addressed through targeted conventional and complementary medical treatments. The resort’s own therapeutic thermal water helps to ease discomfort, support preventive health and aid recovery. Its therapeutic properties are an ideal complement to the Ayurveda treatments offered at the Ayurveda Centre.
Location & Surroundings
Bad Waltersdorf lies in the heart of eastern Styria’s thermal spa and volcanic region, and is one of Austria’s most popular destinations for treatment programmes and wellness. This charming town is known for its therapeutic thermal waters, which rise from a depth of over 1,200 metres, and for the chance to unwind amid gentle hills, vineyards and orchards. Alongside modern thermal spa and health facilities, the region offers plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and culinary discoveries. Cultural attractions, picturesque villages and its proximity to Graz make Bad Waltersdorf an ideal place to relax and slow down.
Food & Drink
The vegetarian meals at Mandira follow the principles of Ayurvedic nutrition and are guided by the doshas — Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each dish is freshly and gently prepared to support digestion and enhance wellbeing. Seasonal, local and largely organic ingredients make for flavourful, nourishing and easily digestible meals. Ayurveda guests enjoy Ayurvedic vegetarian full board, tailored to their treatment programme — whether Mandira Ayurveda, Ayur-Detox, Rasa & Yana or the Panchakarma diet. The offering includes a varied breakfast buffet with an organic juice, herbal tea and vegetable bar; a light two-course vegetarian lunch with salad buffet; sweet tea pastries in the afternoon; and a four-course evening menu, with vegan, vegetarian or fish options. For those who choose to enjoy meat, Mandira’s à la carte menu features selected local produce (at an additional charge). Lactose-free and gluten-free dishes, as well as special diets, are available on request. The resort also has a cosy hotel bar and lounge with an art gallery, as well as Ganesha's Garden with its tea house.
Wellness & Spa
The thermal spa spans approximately 2,000 m² and features an indoor pool filled with therapeutic thermal water (approx. 32°C), a panoramic pool (approx. 32°C), an outdoor pool (open year-round, 28°C) with loungers, a solarium and a cardio fitness room. A range of therapies and wellness treatments can be booked on site, including classic and Eastern massages (partial- or full-body, hot stone or aromatherapy oil massage, foot reflexology, lymphatic drainage and energy-balancing massage), body wraps, cosmetic treatments using Phyto5 products, biofield measurements and infusion therapy. The therapeutic water (sodium hydrogen carbonate chloride thermal water; 27 to 36°C) is particularly soothing for rheumatic complaints and supports stress reduction and burnout prevention.
Health & Cures
Alongside Ayurveda expert and managing director Christina Drexler, the team includes several Ayurveda specialists and therapists, some of whom are from India, a resort doctor specialising in conventional and alternative medicine, and a psychotherapist. With empathy and extensive expertise, the team supports guests in achieving their individual health goals and promoting long-term wellbeing — creating a place where body, mind and soul can find harmony. In addition to its 18 treatment rooms, the Ayurveda Centre has a steam bath, a Styrian herbal sauna, a brine sauna and a Celtic sauna, an ice grotto, an infrared sauna, and two relaxation rooms, Buddha's Place and Ganesha's Spirit. An activity and relaxation programme featuring yoga and meditation complements the Ayurvedic programme.

Good to know
This is what Christina Drexler (managing director and pioneer of holistic Ayurveda) says about Ayurveda at Ayurveda Resort Mandira:
“Ayurveda has played a defining role in my life. I had the privilege of learning from my mother and sharing in her vision. Ayurvedic health philosophy has its own distinctive understanding of the human body’s constitution and how it functions, viewing it as a combination of structural elements and energetic components. I studied this science of life over many years of training. Practising it more extensively at our family’s original centre was essential to putting its effectiveness and practices to the test. This is how Holistic Ayurveda developed for the European cultural context. It is rooted in the world’s oldest holistic healing system and also draws on other complementary and therapeutic approaches, as well as the findings of conventional medicine. I am delighted and grateful to pass on my knowledge of the healing powers of nature and Ayurveda, and in doing so to support your health and wellbeing. That is what drives me.”

As a couple | 50–59 | 1–3 days
Der Urlaub hat meine Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Es hat alles gepasst!
Hotel
Wunderschönes Ambiente, super freundliches und sehr engagiertes Personal und eine außergewöhnlich gute Küche. Unglaublich!
Service
Vor allem im Service wird versucht auf Wünsche einzugehen, und zwar ganz selbstverständlich!
Treatments
Massage war in Ordnung aber etwas ölig. Liegt wahrscheinlich am indischen Drumherum. Aber trotzdem, auch hier muss man schon sehr nach einem Haar in der Suppe suchen.
Food
Das Essen ist von unglaublich guter Qualität die ich in den besten Restaurants selten gefunden habe.
Wellness area
Stimmig eingerichtet, tolles angenehmes Ambiente sehr sauber, einfach schön.
