TREATMENTS
BY ST. MARTINS
Lake Neusiedl is a very special place, drawing from all kinds of influences in terms of geography, climate and species composition. This meeting of great geographical regions right here, at the home of St. Martins Therme & Lodge, inspired us to develop the “Grenzenlos”© – Limitless – concept by St. Martins.
We are all individuals, with our own individual needs – and in the same way, all species here in the region need their own specific ecological niches. So what could be more natural than to incorporate the inexhaustible abundance of the region, with all its diversity, into our treatments?
Influenced by various geographical areas, the Lake Neusiedl region has some of the richest varieties of species in Europe. Enjoy that sense of security which creates a whole new attitude towards life, and reinforce your inner balance. We derived our inspiration from the unique natural scenery, the intense brightness of the sun and the seemingly endless expanse of the steppe.
NORTH
The north coasts of Europe
One example is the shelduck, which actually breeds here in Austria. One of our special birds even flew non-stop from the Seewinkel to Hamburg. The Lake Neusiedl region is an important resting place for migrating birds. Numerous species from the far north come here to rest and recharge their batteries.
Salt habitats are also characteristic elements of the Lake Neusiedl region, where you will find salt vegetation from distant coastal areas. The throwbacks to the Ice Age are another special feature. These could only survive selectively in permanently cool places, such as the Zitzmannsdorf meadows. One example is the tundra vole.
Our Northern-inspired treatments are based on the elements of salt and water and bear the mark of the sea.
EAST
The Central Asian steppe
It forms part of the East European steppe ecoregion, which continues on to Asia. The lowest point of Austria, at 114m above sea level, can be found here too. There are numerous native species here that are closely protected and need open land. Examples include the field eryngo (an umbelliferous plant) and the European ground squirrel (a rodent). The flat steppe landscape enjoys intense sunlight as there are no hills to block out the light.
Our Eastern-inspired treatments are based on honey, moorland and warmth and bear the mark of the sun.
SOUTH
The Mediterranean region
This region is often home to warmth-loving species from the Mediterranean that are at the northernmost reaches of their range. The splendidly coloured wasp spider, for example, is a typical resident of southern Europe but can also be found here in the Seewinkel. Various grasshopper and cicada species provide a typical Mediterranean soundtrack. Some bird species such as the lapwing also spend the winter in southern Europe, around the Mediterranean.
Our Southern-inspired treatments are based on rosemary, grape and lavender and bear the mark of the lavender.
WEST
The Alps
This is why the region is also influenced by the nearby Alps in terms of climate, and why you will find certain species here. Alpine bird species such as the common raven or the brambling come to the Seewinkel to find food, particularly in winter. That said, species such as the viviparous lizard or Veratrum album, which actually do not belong in the lowlands, can also be found here in this unique region.
Our Western-inspired treatments are based on berries, herbs and oxygen and bear the mark of the mountains.
THE ST. MARTINS TREATMENT COMPASS
Applied to our treatments, this translates into a boundless wellness experience combining all the elements of Europe. These diverse elements and their unique variety reflect the “Grenzenlos”© - Boundless - Treatments by St. Martins. We’ve created the St. Martins Treatment Compass to help you navigate the various treatment options so you can determine the treatment orientation which is perfect for you. Be inspired and join us on a journey of discovery.
