Experience Pure Relaxation at St Martins Therme & Lodge
St Martins Therme & Lodge is located in Frauenkirchen, Austria, in the heart of the Burgenland Seewinkel region. Its thermal water comes from the third officially recognised mineral spring in Burgenland, pumped from a depth of 860 metres. The water is a sodium-hydrogencarbonate-chloride mineral water that emerges at 43°C with a pH value of 7.9. This is Austria’s only lake thermal spa, built around an 8-hectare private bathing lake that gives the entire complex a distinct South Sea atmosphere. The architecture blends lodge-style timber and glass with open views across the UNESCO-protected Neusiedler See National Park landscape.
You will find 2,000m² of water surface spread across 4 indoor and 7 outdoor pools, plus a dedicated sauna area, a sunset terrace, and a summer bar. The exclusive Upper Deck functions as a business-class relaxation zone where children are not allowed, offering private loungers and snacks. For hotel guests, the Lodge Spa includes a private sauna, the See-Spa, and a relaxation room called Welle. The wellness philosophy here connects thermal bathing with nature experiences: guests come for the guaranteed bathing weather, the 8-hectare lake with its own beach bar, and the Seewinkel Safaris that run 365 days a year through the national park.
St Martins works best for couples and solo travellers who want a quiet, nature-focused luxury escape rather than a large family water park. A stay of 2 to 3 nights gives you enough time to enjoy the thermal pools, the lake, and at least one safari excursion. What makes this place stand out is the combination of a working lodge atmosphere with a real bathing lake and a thermal spa, all set inside a UNESCO biosphere reserve. You will not find another thermal spa in Central Europe that puts you this close to both 43°C mineral water and wild bird colonies on the same afternoon.

Health Benefits and Indications of Visiting St Martins Therme & Lodge
St Martins Therme & Lodge’s primary therapeutic benefit is muscle tension relief and back support, driven by its thermal mineral water (Natrium-Hydrogencarbonate-Chloride) sourced from 860 metres depth at 43°C with a pH of 7.9. The European Waterpark Association explicitly states this water ‘helps you to re-discover your back,’ indicating it’s particularly effective for easing back strain and general muscle tension. The warmth of the water also promotes circulation, which supports natural recovery processes. As Austria’s only lake thermal spa, the combination of thermal pools and the 8-hectare private bathing lake gives you options for both targeted hydrotherapy in mineral-rich water and gentle movement swimming.
