Moar Gut Family Nature Resort has launched the first ever Lillee Baby Spa in Salzburg, offering baby massages, baby yoga, and basal stimulation. Since June 2024, this sanctuary dedicated to the relaxation and healthy development of the resort’s youngest guests has seen infants as young as 2-3 weeks old experience the health and development benefits of wellness treatments, in the relaxing and calming setting of the resort’s specialised baby spa. The serene space provides a dedicated breastfeeding and relaxation area, changing facilities and is complete with specially designed baby baths and a massage and yoga zone.
Baby Floating
At Moar Gut, the art of wellness extends even to the resort’s youngest guests. The Lillee Baby Spa treatments are designed to nurture development and are carried out under the medical guidance of trained specialists, to teach parents simple techniques that can be carried into daily life after the holiday. Babies weighing over 3kg can begin their wellness journey with Baby Floating, a serene experience where infants float effortlessly in specially designed tubs filled with pure mountain spring water, supported by a soft inflatable ring. This gentle therapy promotes motor skills, body awareness, and restful sleep, while the weightless feeling of floating can have a relaxing feeling on the autonomic nervous system.
Baby Massage Instruction
Parents can take part in Baby Massage Instruction, under the expert guidance of professionals, learning massage techniques which strengthen the baby’s immune system, stimulate metabolism and digestion, and relieve abdominal pain. These techniques are perfect for babies 3 weeks old, to crawling age and have a preventative effect against colds.
Basal Stimulation
In the spa’s calming and modern setting, infants can also benefit from Basal Stimulation, which consists of delicate massage techniques carried out by the hotel’s qualified pediatric nurse. Designed to help ensure wellbeing and relax restless babies, elements of Baby Yoga are incorporated to promote a child’s development in a playful and professional manner.
Baby Yoga
In line with Moar Gut’s philosophy in encouraging a child to discover and connect with their own body centre, Baby yoga is a movement-based therapy which assists in a child’s coordination, promotes their motor development, and strengthens the bond between baby and parent. Beyond the benefits for the child, Baby Yoga also offers parents a moment to relax in their daily lives.
Unique Treatments
At Moar Gut, family wellbeing isn’t just a philosophy but something woven into the spa programme. The hotel’s signature Baby deluxe kombi treatment, for instance, pairs baby massage with baby floating: first, a medical spa therapist guides parents through a gentle massage, before the child is placed in a warm bathtub. Supported by a floating ring, babies experience a sensation of weightlessness that mirrors the comfort of the womb. Another option, the Baby relax kombi, combines basal stimulation with floating for a deeply calming effect. The spa also runs specialised baby massages for infants aged 10 to 30 weeks, intended to soothe and support them during their earliest months.
All treatments are instructed and carried out by Christina Schöninger, Moar Gut’s qualified pediatric nurse and cranio-sacral therapist, and mother herself. The treatments currently range from €42 to €270.
