Bad Ischl celebrates the 150th anniversary of the engagement of Sissi and Emperor Franz-Joseph. Besides the exhibition, the town will also be celebrating this anniversary with an operetta festival that will last until the end of August. “The Count of Luxembourg” (Graf von Luxemburg), “The Bat” (Die Fledermaus) and “The Pearls of Cleopatra” (Perlen der Cleopatra) will all be staged at the Bad Ischl Theatre.

An additional attraction is the Alhambra, the newly opened oriental ‘wellness’ oasis of the Emperor’s Thermae in Bad Ischl, which invites you on a journey through the world of senses.

Sabbia-Med is sand and light. Those who treat themselves to this, will feel how tensions and blockades are eased when the warmth of the sand soaks deep into their body and the morning sun gently warms their skin. The non-UV ray treatment is adapted to the normal light of the day and leads to a cosy and pleasant relaxation and brightening of the mind. Mysterious aromas and soft music help the guest to escape from the stress and the hectic pace of everyday life. And then go into the Rasul, the oriental body care culture! Here you will find thousands of years of oriental knowledge on health, skin care and beauty united. The combination of the healthy warmth of the rays, the aromas of the herbs and the special skin treatment using bole earth (terra sigillata) is a wonderful experience for the skin and the body. In the oriental steam bath, which has a pleasant temperature of 50°C and 90% humidity, you will experience what it means to be one with yourself and just enjoy. The end and highlight of the relaxation journey sees the guest treated in the Hamam. First a stimulating brush massage and then an anointment with exquisite oils. The full treatment lasts approx. 2 1/2 hours and after it, the time for a rest should really be taken. This exquisite sensual delight costs € 46.
