VIVAMAYR Modern Mayr Detox & Medical Wellness Retreat at Lake Wörthersee

Your first day at VIVAMAYR begins with an intake consultation. A doctor reviews your history and goals, takes baseline measurements and bloods where needed, and together you finalise which modules you are doing on top of the Modern Mayr Cure. From there the week settles into a rhythm: early morning treatments or a gentle walk before breakfast, the Mayr meal plan at set times, therapy appointments through the day, and afternoons left open for the lake, the sauna area or rest.

The Modern Mayr Cure meals are the centre of the programme. Portions are deliberately small and light, built to rest the gut rather than fill you up, and the team teaches you the chewing and eating pace that the method depends on. You get used to it by day two or three. Alongside the food, the daily schedule layers in abdominal treatments, manual therapies, and depending on your modules, infusions, Myodiagnostik assessments, physiotherapy or guided movement sessions.

The optional modules are what make this different from a generic spa detox. Gut Health Intense focuses entirely on the microbiome — targeted diagnostics and gut-supportive therapies as an add-on to the base cure. Immune Boost builds a programme around immune function and resilience. Mental Resilience works on stress load and recovery, with the aim of leaving with tools you can actually keep using. Healthy Aging & Longevity is the long-game module, covering the markers and habits that matter as you get older. Recovery & Performance is designed for people who train hard or compete — mobility, strength and load tolerance work, and it is popular with athletes coming off a season or a big event. Olympian Malaika Mihambo has spoken publicly about coming here after the Olympics to reset body and mind.

The medical team drives all of this. Doctors and therapists work together on your plan, and the resort has been the flagship of Modern Mayr Medicine since it opened — it is where the approach was formalised, not a hotel that added a detox menu. If you want the blood work, the diagnostics and the doctor time alongside the food programme, that is the reason to come to Maria Wörth specifically.

The property itself is on the lake at Maria Wörth, a small village on the southern shore of Wörthersee in Carinthia, around 20 minutes from Klagenfurt. Lake access from the grounds, mountain trails directly behind the house, and a view over the water from much of the resort. Guests paddleboard and swim in the lake in summer and hike the surrounding hills year-round. It is a quiet corner of Austria — the point is that there is not much to do but the programme, the lake and the walking.
