Starting in January 2025, the St. Martins Therme & Lodge is presenting its brand-new brand: ST. MARTINS Business Lodge. Exclusive. Inspiring. Efficient. Whether it's a seminar, conference, or meeting – modern design and first-class facilities merge here with an atmosphere that inspires creativity and success. A special highlight: the animal-assisted seminar programmes. They uniquely combine a nature experience, mindfulness, and team building – making every event unforgettable.

In December 2024, the St. Martins Lodge was enriched by two extension highlights: the new "Martinis" restaurant and the redesigned buffet in the main restaurant. Remodeled with great attention to detail, both areas shine in new splendor and combine a stylish ambience with culinary delight. Whether as a guest in the lodge or as a participant in our ST. MARTINS BUSINESS LODGE seminars – "Martinis" offers the ideal setting to combine moments of enjoyment with inspiring exchange. A place where enjoyment meets inspiration.

Starting in August 2024, the St. Martins Lodge offers a new additional service for guests traveling with their four-legged darlings: the dog zone, measuring around ~2,700 m², is available exclusively for dog owners among the lodge guests. A fenced-off lake section of around ~2,500 m² is also available exclusively for four-legged friends to swim in. An exercise area also makes it possible to make new acquaintances with other dogs.

Naturally warm colors, new lines, and chic designs – these are the new outfits worn by the employees of ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. The new uniforms comprise around 5,000 clothing items – ranging from shirts and blouses to trousers, dresses, and shoes – in the development of which the ST. MARTINS team actively participated.

Starting in April 2023, St. Martins thermal baths , and Lodge will generate its own electricity. The installation and commissioning of the new solar power system on the rooftops of the thermal baths , and Lodge have been completed. Our goal: to completely eliminate the use of fossil fuels by the end of 2027. The new solar power system on the rooftops is just the first step toward energy independence—additional projects are already in the planning stages.

In September 2022, St. Martins became the venue for one of the country's most significant sporting events for the first time: the Austrian Triathlon. With its unique location, the St. Martins Therme & Lodge offers athletes not only ideal conditions for swimming, but also an extraordinary ambience. The premiere as a venue underscores the versatility of the 4* superior resort – a place where nature, sport, and relaxation come together in a special way.

The town centre and numerous shopping facilities are in an ideal location, and the St. Martins Therme & Lodge can also be easily reached by car, bicycle, or on foot.

St. Martins is now a certified agricultural enterprise for animal-assisted intervention. The eco-educational farm covers an area of around 6 hectares, nestled in a wide, open landscape, where numerous domestic and farm animals can be discovered. The valuable nature conservation areas are managed in accordance with strict regulations and grazed by goats, sheep, and White Baroque donkeys. An on-farm direct sales service has also been introduced, meaning that a "sheep's wool fertiliser" and a "breakfast egg for two" are now available, for example.

This involves gently capturing mainly songbirds, fitting them with a numbered foot ring, measuring them and releasing them. Ringing is one of the most important tools in bird research, and the project we are conducting is designed to study changes in our songbird populations. As a guest, you have the opportunity to be present during ringing and release as part of our tours or your Personal Nature Experience and see rare and shy bird species up close.

"Animal-assisted therapy" describes the conscious and targeted use of animals in education and/or therapy. The St. Martins AAT team works with the animals of the St. Martins stable on a daily basis. Accordingly, the baroque donkeys, goats, chickens & co. are extremely motivated and very happy to be active together with people – under expert guidance.

It had been exactly five years since Central Europe's first lodge made history in the Seewinkel. Together with competence partner VAMED, the Province of Burgenland further expanded St. Martins Therme & Lodge. In just one year, new exclusive retreat areas were created around the resort's own lake and above the water. A further 17.5 million euros were invested, making St. Martins Therme & Lodge - with a total investment volume of 100 million euros - the largest tourism project in northern Burgenland, which directly and indirectly created and secured well over 400 jobs.

The crazy professor has disappeared, leaving his research tent behind on Summer Island. Now children can also explore and discover outdoors... even though his pocket watch is still hanging in the tent... But with a little luck, we might find his message in a bottle or be able to identify the strange animals waiting to be discovered everywhere... Even a polecat is admiring the kids from above... Since then, Summer Island has also become Discovery Island! We are bound to find the professor – after all, we have his friends to help us: Fröhlich the frog, Zappel the ground squirrel, and Einstein the owl!

The stable opposite the entrance to the St. Martins Lodge has been newly built. New residents have moved in along with the goats Gustl & Gerti.

St. Martins Therme & Lodge in Frauenkirchen is Austria's only lake thermal baths with a bathing beach and exclusive views of the unique landscape of the surrounding Natura 2000 European conservation area. On May 1, 2010, Summer Island opened its doors for the first time.

The first residents of the St. Martins stable are two goats (Gustl and Gerti). In January 2010, we were asked to save the two animals from slaughter. Thus, the two tame and people-friendly goats found a home with us in the newly built St. Martins stable.

On November 11, 2009, St. Martins Therme & Lodge opened as Central Europe's first lodge. Since then, St. Martins Therme & Lodge has combined relaxation, retreat, and adventure, inviting guests to discover the surrounding nature from this unique sanctuary.

The internationally active health group VAMED has been involved in the thermal baths and wellness sector since 1995. Under the competence brand VAMED Vitality World, founded in 2006, VAMED operates nine thermal baths and health resorts. St. Martins Therme & Lodge has been operated by VAMED since 2009.

Positioning: relaxation, seclusion and adventure
The 1st Lodge in Central Europe invites guests to discover the surrounding nature from this unique retreat.

Many guests were already welcomed at the topping-out ceremony on November 24, 2008.
It began where all adventures begin: in the mind - yet it immediately awakened the explorers' spirit in everyone.

Financing was provided by Wirtschaft Burgenland GmbH (WiBUG). The 13 surrounding Seewinkel municipalities are also directly involved in St. Martins Therme & Lodge. The entire region has thus become a host for the visitors of St. Martins Therme & Lodge. "With St. Martins Therme & Lodge, a leading tourism enterprise has been created - supported by the region for the region." The Seewinkel is increasingly gaining the status of a year-round destination and is once again attracting more overnight guests.

With the groundbreaking ceremony on 02.09.2007, construction officially began for the Seewinkel thermal baths resort. In the following years, a leading project for quality and year-round tourism that meets international standards and is second to none was created here. Accordingly, the groundbreaking ceremony was attended by prominent figures. Alongside Governor Hans Niessl, Deputy Governor Mag. Franz Steindl, Frauenkirchen's Mayor Josef Ziniel and the mayors of the 12 other Seewinkel municipalities (Andau, Apetlon, Gols, Halbturn, Illmitz, Mönchhof, Neusiedl am See, Pamhagen, Podersdorf am See, St. Andrä am Zicksee, Tadten, Wallern), WiBAG Board Directors Peter Schmitl and Franz Kast, and VAMED Managing Director Ing. Walter Troger, numerous guests were also welcomed at the ceremony at Pimezlacke in the municipality of Frauenkirchen.

Directly bordering the Natura 2000 nature reserve is the area of the former Pimetzlacken, which were used as gravel ponds. During the conceptual phase, it was decided to merge the gravel ponds into two large lakes and place an organic building in the shape of a spiral centrally within the lake landscape. The center of the spiral is formed by the thermal baths with the main sunbathing areas, pools, sauna landscape, etc. Thermal baths and lodge merge into one another within the spiral shape. The 4-star superior lodge includes 150 room units with restaurants, bars, seminar areas, etc. The water of the lake was drawn into the building in an abstracted form matching the outdoor pool landscape of the lodge spa and sauna area. The peninsula in front of the thermal baths with small gravel coves, as well as the terrace landscape built in front of the lodge lobby and restaurants, invite you to linger by the water. The atmosphere of the area thrives above all on the direct connection to the water and the expanse of the landscape.

On 03.03.2006, in the presence of Governor Hans Niessl, Regional Councilor Mag. Michaela Resetar, the mayors of the 13 Seewinkel municipalities (Andau, Apetlon, Frauenkirchen, Gols, Halbturn, Illmitz, Mönchhof, Neusiedl am See, Pamhagen, Podersdorf am See, St. Andrä am Zicksee, Tadten, Wallern), and WiBAG Board Directors Peter Schmitl and Dr. Werner Eckhardt, the ceremonial first drilling took place at Pimezlacke in the municipality of Frauenkirchen for the Seewinkel thermal baths. The first drilling marked the structural starting signal for the first phase of construction of the Seewinkel thermal baths.
