The Relais & Châteaux Spa Hotel Jagdhof in Neustift, Austria, has launched a new spa chalet – an extension to the existing jSpa, which has incidentally become the first spa in the country to offer natural ‘free-from’ treatments by REN.

The 700sq m (7,535sq ft) spa chalet comprises two levels and connects with the five-star 70-bedroom hotel’s jSpa. The ground floor features a quiet tea bar, a large terrace and relaxation beds. On the upper level, a private couples’ 100sq m (1,076sq ft) spa suite features an infinity duo pool, a steam cabin, pine sauna, double treatment beds and swing-loungers.

There are also three relaxation zones on the upper level, in addition to the couples’ suite. The first relaxation zone, called Ruez-One, has a décor theme of hay. Another zone is a wool-themed library – offering a wide selection of reading material. Panorama, the last of the three zones, has views of glaciers and light rice beds can be moved to make space for a yoga studio.

The spa chalet combines with the existing jSpa to create 3,000sq m (32,292sq ft) of wellbeing space. The jSpa is split into two sections: Vitality World and joyful. Vitality World offers guests a choice of 20 saunas, baths and steamrooms – including an amethyst steam grotto, tropical showers, an ice-crystal tower, a Kneipp circuit, waterbeds and an aqua meditation room.

The joyful section comprises 13 treatment rooms for therapies by REN or QMS. There are also indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools with views of the Stubai glacier, an al fresco whirlpool, spa bar, Technogym-equipped fitness suite and Zen room – devoted to Asian spa treatments. A large exercise room is located in an adjacent building.
