Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay for my spa stay in advance?
No. You book your spa hotel directly through our platform and pay upon arrival at the hotel — in cash or by credit card. No deposit is required.

Do I need an official spa prescription from my doctor?
No. A recent medical report (no older than 6 months) is sufficient. The initial examination and treatment plan are prepared directly by the spa physician at the hotel.

Are the spa physicians German-speaking?
Yes. All listed spa hotels guarantee medical care in German. Many spa resorts also employ German-speaking senior medical staff.

How does the door-to-door transfer work?
A private driver picks you up at your home address and takes you directly to the hotel entrance. Both pickup and return follow a fixed schedule. Payment is made directly to the driver.

How long should a medical spa stay last?
For lasting therapeutic results, physicians recommend 14 to 21 days. For chronic conditions, a longer stay is more beneficial.

What is included in the spa hotel price?
Prices typically include accommodation, meals (half or full board), the initial medical examination, prescribed treatments, and VAT.

Are the hotels wheelchair-accessible?
Yes, many partner spa hotels are barrier-free and offer accessible rooms and spa facilities. Please indicate this requirement when booking.

Should I bring my medications?
Yes. Please bring all regularly needed medications in sufficient quantity and in their original packaging. Inform the spa physician of your medication plan during the initial examination.

Can I choose my own spa treatments?
Medical treatments (drinking cures, baths, physiotherapy) are prescribed by the spa physician after the initial examination. Additional wellness treatments can often be booked individually.

Will I be examined on the day of arrival?
Your initial medical examination typically takes place on the morning of your first full day, allowing you time to settle in after your journey.

What happens if I fall ill during my spa stay?
Every spa resort has emergency medical care. Reception staff and the spa physician will assist you if needed.

Are the costs covered by health insurance?
In many cases, statutory health insurers contribute to outpatient preventive care at recognised spa resorts. Please confirm coverage in writing with your insurer beforehand.

What is the difference between a medical spa stay and wellness?
A medical spa stay is a targeted therapeutic process under professional supervision to alleviate specific conditions. Wellness is for relaxation and recreation, without medical indication or professional planning.
