The Aqua Dome found in Oberlängenfeld in Austria, is located in the heart of Tyrol’s Ötztal valley. The spa retreat is found at the foot of scenic mountains in the area. Inspired by the rocky mountains and the picturesque landscapes, the structure reflects and embodies the aesthetics of its surroundings.
With a spiked roof that houses the observation tower and three baths that are interconnected with each other, the relaxing alpine retreat is contemporary as well as traditional. Inside the retreat, wood is the inspiration behind the interior designs as well as a style that is in tune with the natural alpines. The water from the spa is drawn locally from an underground thermal spring that is found directly beneath the structure.
The 200 unit retreat includes saunas, massage rooms and other spa amenities.
