The USA will be November 1998. This was the venue for the 1998 European convention of the International Spa Organisation ISPA in June. The spa features futuristic architecture in unspoiled countryside near Graz. It's a huge family hotel complex around very hot springs filling indoor and outdoor pools. In the spa centre the emphasis is on healing and natural therapies.
Every sports facility is also available including golf, riding and tennis.
There is a pyramid where sound treatments with Tibetan style singing bowls, monochromes and gongs help visitors listen to their inner voice. There are many holistic treatments with a local style such as mudpacks and a body wrap in the residue from fruit pressing then float on a waterbed followed by a glass of Chardonnay. There are lots of inexpensive packages. The Athenaeum at the Corinthia Palace Hotel is the only spa on Malta to offer a holistic experience in relaxation. The facilities are comprehensive, but try the oxygen therapy and Razul mud treatments.
