Park Igls Medical Spa Resort sits on a sunny plateau above Innsbruck, looking out across the Tyrolean capital to a crown of snow-capped peaks. From the moment you step through the door, it’s clear that this is a place of healing: surrounding the property is a private park with picturesque flowerbeds and gentle walking trails. Inside, discover inviting interiors and a medical team that treats you as an individual from the first conversation. It’s here that Modern Mayr Medicine—Austria’s most influential contribution to preventive health—has been refined into a clear, science-led path back to equilibrium.
What Modern Mayr means—today
Modern Mayr Medicine is the backbone of the Park Igls philosophy. Building on Dr Franz Xaver Mayr’s insight that gut health shapes overall health, Park Igls expands the original pillars—rest, cleansing, substitution and education—by adding exercise and self-discovery. The result is a practical, six-part framework that treats causes rather than symptoms. Every plan is tailored to meet the individual’s needs. Men and women aren’t handed the same template; needs differ, and the doctors—trained in both conventional and Mayr medicine—adjust accordingly. Mental health support and physiotherapy sit alongside medical care, so digestion, sleep, stress, and movement are addressed together.
At the table, Modern Mayr Cuisine turns that philosophy into a daily habit. Across eight gentle “stages” of gourmet fasting—not abstinence—you move from alkaline broths and traditional Mayr foods toward a balanced three-meal day that’s easy on the system but still satisfying and full of flavour. You’ll chew more, use a teaspoon to slow down, hydrate properly, and park caffeine and alcohol while your body resets. Menus use organic produce and change daily, with chef Markus Sorg’s plant-forward, herb-seasoned cooking designed to preserve micronutrients and reduce inflammatory load.
Who it helps—and how it feels
If you’ve been running on empty— courtesy of late nights, rich meals, and endless stress—Park Igls acts as a reset. Burnout prevention is a strong suit, and many guests arrive with low energy, poor sleep or digestive gripes. Heartburn and reflux (GERD) are common among individuals who dine late and work long hours. At Park Igls, GERD is tackled from several angles: lighter meals at sensible times, manual abdominal therapy, behaviour change, and stress management—because the goal is durable relief without over-reliance on PPIs. Two to three weeks deliver the greatest improvements, but one concentrated week can still make a significant impact—provided you take the lessons home.
The smart first step
One-Week Detox Medical Check – €4,630
If you want to pair a reset with comprehensive prevention, this is the sweet spot. Across seven days you’ll complete a full set of state-of-the-art diagnostics with maximum privacy and discretion, including a holistic medical intake and exit, extensive blood laboratory work (including hormone status), oxidative-stress testing, urinalysis, stool screening (Haemoccult®), spirometry, a physiotherapy assessment, ultrasounds (abdominal organs and vessels; carotid; thyroid; prostate/testes or breasts; heart echocardiography), resting and exercise ECGs, plus five 50-minute full-body massages. Mayr medication can be added, but it isn’t mandatory. The daily basics—broths/teas/water and access to an optional activities timetable—are included.
If stress is the greatest symptom, consider pairing (or following) with the One-Week Mayr De-Stress Programme – €2,788: a targeted burnout-prevention track addressing sleep disruption, restlessness and tension, built around acupressure and connective-tissue massages, craniosacral therapy, talk therapy/coaching and soothing heat packs (hay flowers and moor). Again, medication is optional; fundamentals are included.
Accommodation is priced separately: single rooms from €211 per room per night, and doubles from €204 per person per night (for two sharing). Transfers from Innsbruck Airport or rail station, as well as parking, are included. Expect an easy 15–20-minute drive from the runway to reception.
A Place that helps you heal
The setting matters, and Park Igls makes the most of its beautiful location. The property opens onto an 8,800 m² guest-only park with a barefoot path, boccia court, a yoga deck with mountain views, Kneipp hydrotherapy, a tree-trunk balance trail, and a small chipping and putting green. The indoor pool connects to the garden in the summer; upstairs, the panoramic penthouse gym faces the peaks and is well-equipped with a Life Fitness kit, trampolines, and a climbing wall. Weekly programming ranges from yoga and mobility to e-biking, hikes and cultural outings in Innsbruck. Indoors, the clinic’s spa therapists deliver hydro- and balneotherapy, body wraps and compresses, and detoxifying protocols that dovetail with your personalised cure.
Rooms are modern, light and functional—the sort of spaces that help you switch off rather than show off. All 52 rooms and suites boast a balcony (many facing the park or peaks), air conditioning, and ample natural light, finished in a calming, clean-lined décor. Bathrooms utilise the clinic’s own products, developed in collaboration with the medical team, and some Deluxe Plus categories feature an infrared cabin. Small, thoughtful details run through the building—hot-water-bottle taps, still and sparkling water on every floor, even mugs of bitter water by the stairs—so the practicalities of a Mayr stay feel easy and accessible.
Why Park Igls—and why now
Two truths frame the decision. First, the negatives: busy modern lives chip away at good habits; skipped workouts, late meals and rising alcohol/caffeine intake stoke weight gain, reflux, poor sleep and metabolic drift. Left unchecked, that trajectory raises risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Second, the positives: small, well-chosen changes compound fast. Park Igls is built for that pivot—three weeks is ideal, but even one week can be catalytic. Travelling solo often helps, as this means fewer distractions and better focus.
What sets Park Igls apart is how thoroughly it knits evidence with experience. You’ll see it in the diagnostics (and the clinic’s collaborative culture), in physiotherapy and movement coaching, and in targeted innovations such as IHHT cell training for mitochondrial health. The resort’s awards track record—most recently, Condé Nast Johansens’ 2025 Award for Excellence and Condé Nast Traveller’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Destination Spa in Europe—speaks to its consistently high standards across medicine, hospitality, and cuisine.
Taking it home
The goal isn’t a flawless week (or two or three); it’s a better and more sustainable next decade. That’s why Park Igls focuses on habits you’ll actually keep: mindful eating, a lighter, predominantly alkaline plate built around vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains; daily movement you enjoy; and a few quick stress-coping tools that are easy to reach for—breathwork, a short walk, or a quick stretch. That’s where the long-term benefit lives. As the Mayr team likes to say, “Longevity is not a question of the latest technology, but primarily the result of conscious decisions made in the here and now.”
