This year we headed again to the one of the world’s leading medical resorts PARK IGLS, which, besides its immense popularity of modern Mayr medicine method, offers specially designed women’s programs that can be adapted individually to each guest according to personal desires and needs.
Taking a break from stress and worries, restoring vitality, strength, skin and body beauty and enjoying the magnificent alpine scenery with fresh mountain air — all this is thought out to the single detail in any program you choose.
Everything from the lush green park that gave the hotel its name, the cozy lounge for relaxing and socializing, the beautiful spa center, the main restaurant unique in pots concept and approach, the spacious rooms with all required amenities, provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere for complete recharge. And that’s exactly what we had a chance to test for 7 days.
Having undergone a detox program a year ago, we were eager to return to this amazing place to immerse in the world of health and beauty once again, this time focusing on a women’s health program based on one of the popular basic programs Detox Short Break.
Of course, modern medicine Mayr offers a holistic method of body and mind recovery, which will take you two to three weeks to complete. However, the Detox Short Break program is designed for people who just need a short reset for mental and physical relaxation. But even after a minimal stay (4 nights), you will feel a complete boost of energy and strength from your time here.
On the first day of arrival, we had an initial check-up with a medical specialist, where the program was finally determined, including the following treatments:
General therapeutic body massage by a highly qualified therapists. Moreover, it’s important to note that we’d been waiting for this moment for a whole year. Such an effective and professional massage we haven’t received anywhere else so far. Yes, it could be tough, deep, painful, sometimes even unbearable, but it is worth it — every cell of your body opens up and begins to breathe new life, while all the tension from muscles has gone. The problematic zones are properly controlled and worked out, so you really feel better after the first session.
In addition to this, the package includes 4 different treatments of choice:
1 therapeutic exercise/personal training session (25 min.)
1 heat pack (hay flowers or marsh)
1 nourishing body pack
1 metabolic detox bath
1 detox compress with beeswax
1 herbal wrap for digestion
1 lavender chest compress
1 Swiss pine package
1 scalp peeling
1 personalized beauty treatment (for men and women), counts for two treatments (50 minutes)
Since our program was designed for 7 days, it was filled with extra treatments and appointments, concentrating on women’s beauty and skin health, such as:
Terra-Vit full body wrap
This amazing 2-hour treatment is designed to remove metabolic waste products in order to reduce body circumference and cellulite and tighten the skin. The lymphatic system is stimulated by the bandaging and the active ingredients (algae, marine salts, herbs etc.), the connective tissue is drained and waste products and toxins are removed.
The effect of this wrap can be seen already on the first day, and it’s deservingly one of the favorites among women guests.
Cosmetic treatment HYDRA FACE ONE
The one we were offered — this is a care system to keep beautiful young skin healthy. Using a special machine called CNC Skincare, an intensive whirl of water helps first to get rid of cell waste and so thoroughly cleaned. In the next step the skin is supplied with antioxidant active ingredients, matching the skin type.
As a result — immediate visible effect, the skin looks glowing and bright, followed by smooth and lifting effect appearing on the next day.
In addition to specially selected treatments, our program included all the basic services included in all wellness packages.
Daily Kneipp treatments (contrasting foot, hand or sitting baths) — our favorite is sitting bath;
Mayr’s Modern Kitchen personalized diet plan;
Mineral water, herbal tea and base broth;
Group classes, active and passive anti-stress exercises (relaxation), wonderful guided walks around the neighborhood of the park;
Lectures and presentations;
Use of the swimming pool, sauna and panoramic gym — highly recommended yoga classes as well as proper Sauna class with a Master
In order to support a success of the program, it’s important to follow the diet plan as well the rules for healthy eating.
After getting to know Modern Mayr Cuisine on our last visit it turned out that healthy eating absolutely does not mean bland and boring food. On the contrary, Modern Mayr Cuisine is a conscious way to control your food intake and enjoy eating at the same time.
Modern Mayr Cuisine’s culinary philosophy consists of balanced recipes that have been polished over the years; careful cooking to preserve important vitamins; an emphasis on alkaline-rich ingredients;
Fresh organic products from the region; selected herbs and spices instead of an excess of salt; pure spring water, herbal teas, vegetable broths, mineral water.
The Modern Mayr Cuisine is based on a model that includes eight dietary steps (levels), and each step utilizes a limited number of carefully selected foods that are combined with a variety of protein supplements, juices, teas, and broths.
Based on personal needs and desires, the doctors helped us to design own meal plan, and that was Level 2, which included Mayr food and added proteins. Clean, pure and still delicious!
When you stay at PARK IGLS, you not only spend time on your health, but you can also extend your leisure time in a cultural way. The reception offers you interesting activities and excursions specially organized for the guests.
Having experienced the wonderfully lovely Innsbruck and its magnificent opera house on our last visit, this time we went on an exciting journey through the Swarovski Kristallwelten, which celebrates the brilliance and beauty of Swarovski crystals in all their forms.
The day turned out to be just as ordered, with the enchanting garden of crystals shimmering in the sunshine with all the colors of the rainbow.
Here, art lovers will find a wonderful world of art installations and dazzling exhibits in the Chamber of Wonders, showcasing the history, craftsmanship and innovation that defines Swarovski, making it a must-see for anyone who appreciates the magic and appeal of these exquisite gemstones.
And be sure to end your tour with a visit to one of the largest Swarovski stores in the world, which represents a unique fusion of dazzling shopping and impressive art installations, perfectly integrated into the overall Swarovski Crystal Worlds experience.
