PURADIES Mein Naturresort Cosiness in the design hotel and the premium chalets

In an area that spans over 300,000 square metres, PURADIES, in the Pinzgau region of Salzburg, presents itself as its own private, traditional village with a closeness to nature. The hotel and chalets form a harmonious unit, which blends in seamlessly with its surroundings. With its own style created by marrying the traditional with the modern, the nature resort succeeds in producing a feeling of truly being at home, which it invites you to enjoy.

The characteristic modern-alpine style runs through the whole house and brings the resort’s values to the forefront of the mind. In this way, PURADIES presents itself as inobtrusive, subtle and pure, with maximum comfort. The nature resort lies at the heart of the expansive Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn ski area. Located directly adjacent to the slopes, PURADIES offers a “ski-in, ski-out” facility in winter. Enjoy an unobscured view of the Birnhorn peak and its brothers on top of the “Steinernes Meer” from the sunniest hill in the Leogang mountains. The PURADIES Nature Resort, its chalets and suites offer a uniquely modern alpine style with superb, award-winning design and facilities.

Simple and tasteful, the rooms are inspired by the natural surroundings and manage to incorporate ideas from across the world, built with wood from the local forest. The spa facilities of the alpine design hotel are also unique and luxurious. Absolute relaxation is guaranteed in the “Innere Mitte” sauna house with four differently themed saunas. Always accompanied by incredible 360° mountain views - enjoy the fantastic spa facility that includes a Swiss pine sauna, infrared cabin, exceptional showers, and a two-story relaxation area.

Guests can enjoy gourmet delights from a range of restaurants, with cuisines assembled with high-quality ingredients sourced from the hotel’s own organic farm and regional producers. Sustainable and fair; vegetarian and vegan if desired. Lovingly prepared with passion - the culinary highlights will take you to extraordinary places. Paradise for gourmets, filled with special moments.

“In the middle of the picturesque scenery of the high mountains you will spend a holiday of superlatives in the idyllic premium chalet village in Leogang”.

PURADIES: The Garden of Eden

Could wellness be a sin? Not at the PURADIES Nature Resort: the extended Heaven Spa has been embedded into the landscape with great care and regard for sustainability. The new sauna building, with its own restaurant, will open its doors from summer 2023 - not just for Adam and Eve but for all guests at the nature resort in Leogang.

Since the family-run Embachhof in Leogang was modernised and stylishly extended in 2016 and reopened as PURADIES, it has been clear to hotel managers and brothers Michael and Philipp Madreiter that the day would come when they would need to expand the wellness facilities. Now, after a few years of careful planning, it’s time. From the 1st of June, PURADIES guests will be able to explore, experience and enjoy the extended Heaven Spa and restaurant.

When planning the new wellness area, the topic of water was clearly a priority for guests – as well as for the two hotel managers. Michael Madreiter: “For a number of years, our sauna building „Innere Mitte“ has provided a range of saunas and relaxation rooms. With the new extended Heaven Spa, it’s possible to enjoy a bathing experience at a pleasant temperature while looking out at the mountains 365 days a year.” In addition to an outdoor pool that can be accessed from inside, a shallow children’s pool and cosy new relaxation rooms, the Heaven Spa also offers a light-filled yoga studio with direct access to the garden.

Michael Madreiter: “It was important to us to be able to give our guests more space for relaxation while remaining true to our principles, so the new Heaven Spa rooms have been carefully set into the landscape. We wanted to keep any interference with nature to a minimum. Earth and greenery is embedded in some of the roofs and walls. The geothermal energy ensures an atmosphere of well-being, and the large glass surfaces capture the light and landscape perfectly. The view of the Steinernes Meer from the new wellness area is fantastic. And the new sauna building also provides unobstructed views – our goal was to refine the view, to focus on the essentials, as it were.”

The icing on the cake – in the truest sense – of the new space is the restaurant that is also open to external guests, located on the upper floor. The restaurant, with its open kitchen and large terrace, is affectionately known as the Bistro, and offers an exquisite cuisine with a focus on sustainability and an informal atmosphere at lunch and dinner.
