The spa journalists Pamela Lechtmann and Bernard Burt, US, have recently published a ranking of the best 100 spas of the world. Rogner-Spa Blumau is the only Austrian spa to be listed. This ranking includes only the "creme de la creme" of international spas, for example, The Oriental Hotel Bangkok in Thailand and Burj Al Arab in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The criteria for assessing the spas were set by the ISPA, International Spa Association. Special attention was paid to these areas: treatments, products, employees, design, fitness and cuisine.
The heart of resort is the unique hot-springs landscape, including about 1,600 square meters of water area. Soothing, warm thermal basins, both indoor and outdoor, fed by the Melchior underground spring, melt away hectic stress and strain; life seems calm and serene again.

The elaborately-equipped sauna area features Finnish indoor and outdoor saunas, a bio-sanarium and helarium, Roman sauna, Turkish bath, aromatic grotto, effervescent bath and cold-water basins in the open.
Relaxation rooms, reclining galleries and the natural, sunny ambience on the verdant roofs of the springs buildings all beckon to the guest seeking rest and repose. Sun-worshippers wanting an all-over tan will not want to miss the new Sun Island, 800 square meters of generous space for nude sunbathing.
