Different types of spas
You will find in this list:
- spa hotels. You can of course stay there for a wellness stay, but these hotels also offer Day Spa packages allowing you to enjoy the spa for the day without staying at the hotel. I advise you to book these establishments well in advance, as they are very popular, especially at weekends!
- other good spa addresses in Alsace. They are not hotels and the packages offered for access to the spa often range from a few hours to a day. It’s a little more à la carte than a day spa, and less expensive too 😉
In all cases, you will be able to enjoyaccess to the spa (including hot tubs, Jacuzzis, steam rooms, sensation showers, swimming pool, salt grotto, ice fountain, saunas, relaxation room and fitness room…) as well as book treatments such as massages, facials, body treatments…
1. Nature Spa de La Cheneudière, one of the best spas in Alsace!
I’m starting this article with my favorite spa, the Nature Spa at Hostellerie La Cheneaudière in Colroy-la-Roche, in the Bruche Valley. This huge 2,500m2 spa has won numerous awards for the best spas in the world (including best hotel spa in Europe), and I have to admit that the Nature Spa is a real cocoon in which to disconnect and forget all your everyday worries…
2. Yonaguni Spa, Obernai’s luxury Japanese spa
The Yonaguni Spa, located in the Hôtel du Parc in Obernai, is an invitation to discovery and well-being. It’s also one of my favorite spas, and I’m not the only one as it has been awarded the best luxury spa in France and the best unique experience spa in the world.
3. Chez Julien, for a beautiful spa day in the Vosges mountains
Chez Julien is another spa that Alsatians know and love! Like Nature Spa de la Cheneaudière, it’s located in the Bruche Valley, a delightful natural setting for a wellness break.
4. Source des Sens, one of Alsace’s finest spas
For an exceptional moment of relaxation, here’s another excellent address: the Source des Sens spa, located in Morsbronn-les-Bains in northern Alsace. It’s not as big as the previous two, but just as high quality: it’s truly one of the region’s finest spas!
5. Hostellerie des Châteaux in Ottrott, for a spa break on the Wine Route
Another superb spa, located this time on the Alsace Wine Route, in the village of Ottrott (famous for its red wine, but that’s not the point!). If you like saunas, you should be won over: many original saunas and hammams await you in this beautiful spa of the Hostellerie des Châteaux.

The 6717 Nature Hôtel Spa is another spa located in Ottrott, at the foot of Mont Sainte-Odile. It’s a very pleasant spa, offering good value for money. Various spa day packages are available, with spa only or lunch, breakfast or afternoon tea. A rejuvenating break at a reasonable price!
