Hotels with a soul are a rare thing, and more often than not the result of the visionary people at their helm, guided by their intuition. The Posthotel Achenkirch in Tirol am Achensee is one of these special places. The Reiter Family has run the 5-star hotel for over a century and has transformed the former postal waystation into one of the first wellbeing hotels in Tirol, a testament to their unique pioneering spirit. Today, the adult-only hotel is all-inclusive resort stretching over four hectares which perfectly embodies the yin and yang philosophy. An offer for both body and soul, boasting activities and plenty of relaxation, a marriage between eastern traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, and western Alpine culture. Pleasant scents, evocative lighting, and timeless furniture, typical of a country house, all contribute to striking a specific balance between cosiness and luxury across the 142 rooms and suites. Wellbeing is an everyday affair, encompassing yoga, tai chi and qi gong with shaolin master Liang or traditional Chinese medicine treatments by specialist Dr. Hu Ji. Sports is also part of the offer thanks to the tennis courts, 9-hole golf course, and the hotels’ Lipizzaner stud farm. Moreover, it’s the first and, until now, only place in Austria with its own biohacking coach creating tailored applications for its guests. Relaxation is also on the agenda, with an extensive wellbeing portfolio covering over 7,000 m2, including rooms inspired by Asia and architectural highlights such as the “sunken temples” and the two-level yin and yang outdoor pool. The hotel’s restaurant and the traditional Chinese medicine restaurant – Tenzo – boast regional produce farmed on the estate and round off the holistic wellbeing offer. Traditional wellbeing is reinterpreted at the Posthotel: shaolin philosophy is the cornerstone with which host Karl C. Reiter invites guests on a journey of self-discovery, making Achenkirch a location where body and soul can strike a harmonious balance.

• Hack your health: biohacking and longevity aren’t just buzzwords at the Posthotel. They’re deeply rooted in the hotel’s philosophy. Expert Amel Mujkic is the first biohacking coach working as a full-time staffer in Austria. His Re:Age method improves wellbeing and quality of life.
• From Aquafit to zen meditation: golf at the hotel’s tee, ride on the elegant Lipizzaner horses, play a match of tennis, take an ice bath or go on a sunset hike. There’s something for everyone thanks to the hotel’s 60-hour weekly activity programme.
• Wellbeing of the future: the holistic health concept combines Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, shaolin treatments, fitness, and biohacking for a long, healthy life – and the 7,000 m² SPA rounds off the offer.
• Visionary and furnace of ideas: as a believer of Eastern medicine, host Karl C. Reiter brought a shaolin monk and a TCM doctor to Achenkirch. He holds talks on personal development, speech therapy and preventive medicine to empower and boost guests on their journey of self-discovery.
