The Woodness Spa – Small, private and intimate spa

Updated on 2024-10-18

We are lucky in Alsace, we have many spas of very good quality. With The Woodness Spa, I tested a spa that's quite different from the others: it's not attached to a hotel, it's much smaller, but it's private.

An intimate spa

The Woodness Spa is located in Littenheim, a small village between Strasbourg and Saverne. It was built in the cellar of an Alsatian farm. When you say it like that, it sounds weird, but it’s actually really charming!

We reserve it for a half-day or an evening with friends or lovers, and we have the spa only for us! The spa is designed to accommodate 6 people maximum, but it will be more comfortable if you are 4 in my opinion.

The cellar has of course been completely renovated to make it more welcoming, but certain features have been preserved, such as the lovely brick ceiling and the superb stone walls. The owner did it all himself: a truly impressive job!

You can see that attention has been paid to detail and the spa is very nice, making it a very pleasant setting to relax in an intimate atmosphere.

Jacuzzi, sauna and deckchairs

The Woodness Spa features a Jacuzzi, sauna and relaxation area with wooden deckchairs. A small table completes the ensemble, allowing you to enjoy a cup of tea (provided), a cold drink (you help yourself and pay for what you’ve consumed) or even a small dish you’ve brought along. Food is allowed in this area, and there’s even a fridge to keep it cool.

I really liked the Jacuzzi, which lets you choose different types of water jets: massage jets or bubbles (or both!). You can even connect your Bluetooth-enabled phone to listen to music in the jacuzzi. The sauna, located in a small wooden cabin, is also very pleasant.

Of course, the spa also features a shower and changing room. Wifi is also available. Just remember to bring your own towels, which are not provided.

4 hours to relax

The Woodness Spa is booked exclusively for 4-hour periods: mornings (9am to 1pm), afternoons (2pm to 6pm) or evenings (7pm to 11pm). The space is fully cleaned and disinfected between each session. Prices vary according to time slot and week/weekend. It’s nice to have so much time on your hands, it’s a good amount of time.
