Hotel details

Enjoy the healing traditions of Ayurveda from India in Kurhaus Hotel Bad Bocklet, just a two-hour drive from Frankfurt. This serene retreat, set amidst the beautiful landscapes of the Bavarian Rhön, is home to mineral-rich spring water.

Where you are going...

Bad Bocklet, a Bavarian state spa town in the Bad Kissingen district of Lower Franconia, is part of the Bäderland Bayerische Rhön health region. This historic spa destination is renowned for the healing properties of the Balthasar Neumann spring. Located within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön, Bad Bocklet sits between Fulda, about 60 kilometers away, and Würzburg, approximately 70 kilometers away. It is a charming and peaceful retreat with scenic walking and cycling trails, set along a picturesque bend of the Franconian Saale River. You can drive to Bad Bocklet from Utrecht or Antwerp in around six hours (520 kilometers). The the town is also well-connected by train.

Why you’ll love it...

A unique fusion of India and Germany, Bad Bocklet offers authentic ayurveda programs led by a specialized team from India. This team includes an ayurveda doctor, therapists, and chefs who will create a personalized treatment plan for you. You can also book individual treatments such as shirodhara, pinda sweda (herbal stamp massage), or abhyanga (oil massage). Nestled in the peaceful Franconian Saale valley, the hotel is surrounded by the serene Kurpark, creating the perfect environment for your relaxation and rejuvenation. Bad Bocklet is home to the Balthasar Neumann spring, known for having the highest iron content of any mineral spring in Germany. You can experience its healing waters in the town’s public baths, while the pools at the hotel’s spa are filled with regular water. Daily yoga sessions in the chapel help restore your inner balance, while the surrounding spa gardens provide a tranquil space for a walk or quiet reflection. If you enjoy outdoor activities, the nearby Rhön Nature Park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve offer excellent hiking and cycling trails. E-bikes are available for rent at the hotel.

Wellness, Spa and Health

A glass walkway connects the hotel to the Spa - you can head straight to the spa in your bathrobe, comfortable and convenient. The wellness area is modern and well kept. The pool, around 7 by 13 meters and heated to 30°C, isn’t large but perfectly fine for a few laps. The spa also includes a bio sauna, Finnish sauna, steam room, plunge pool, ice fountain, and a quiet space to unwind. The pool uses regular water, not the mineral-rich spring water that Bad Bocklet is known for. That healing water - believed to support circulation and metabolism—is available in the town’s public baths, if you’d like to experience it for yourself. All Ayurvedic treatments and programs are carried out in the traditional way by an experienced team from Kerala, the southernmost state of India and the heart of Ayurveda. Both English and German are spoken. After an intake consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor, your treatment plan is tailored to your needs.

Rasayana, 7 nights

Rust en ruimte, lieve mensen voor de behandelingen. Hotel wel wat gedateerd en tijdens mijn verblijf alleen Duitse gasten die erg op zichzelf gericht waren. Spa is klein maar wel fijn, mooie wandelroutes in de buurt.
