Medical Longevity & Gut Health Retreat at Lake Altaussee

MAYRLIFE Altaussee offers a menu of structured programs rather than one fixed week, all built on the same Health Concept. The Signature Programs run from 7 nights and include Classic, Optimal Weight, Active Detox, Stress Control, Anti-Inflammation and Longevity/Healthy Aging. The Reset Programs are shorter — from 4 nights — and include the Anti-Inflammatory Reset developed with Dr. Barbara Sturm, the Leader's Performance Plus Program, Weight Balance Reset and Health Potential Reset. You pick the goal; the medical team builds the plan.

What separates this from a standard wellness hotel is the testing. Your stay opens with an extensive initial examination that checks for intolerances and analyses your blood. That becomes the foundation for a therapy plan that is tailored to you specifically. From there, the focus is gut regeneration — the idea being that a healthy microbiome underpins immune function, energy and long-term performance. MAYRLIFE also runs ongoing microbiome research with Karl Landsteiner University in Krems, and findings from that feed back into the Health Concept.

Treatment blends conventional medicine with naturopathy. You'll see doctors and therapists working together, and the traditional F.X. Mayr approach of detoxification and purification sits alongside cutting-edge diagnostics. Program Add-ons let you extend a Signature Program with targeted medical specialisations — Female Balance, Men's Health, GLP-1 & Lifestyle Integration, and Preventive Ultrasound Plus — each priced separately and only available alongside a Signature Program.

The kitchen is treated as part of the treatment, not an afterthought. MAYRLIFE Cuisine produces personalised nutrition plans for each guest, with food positioned as preventative medicine and a focus on how meals affect the gut. Because the plan is yours, the food you're served is matched to your test results rather than picked from a set menu.

And the support doesn't stop at checkout. The stated aim is long-term change, so guests leave with personalised recommendations for maintaining results at home. That follow-through is a big part of why the resort markets itself as an investment in health rather than a holiday. If you book at least 45 days ahead, there's currently a 10% Early Bird discount on accommodation.
