Holy Silence

Drawing inspiration from monastic tranquility and the purity of Gothic forms, the Silent Villas in Laa an der Thaya blend architecture and wellness into a sanctuary of silent luxury.

Monastic Silence

…is a luxury. A gentle reminder of this is the quatrefoil — a Gothic tracery motif familiar from the sacred architecture of the region. Its perfect geometry whispers of exclusivity and perfection. In the Silent Villas, both merge into an extraordinary wellness experience.

Nestled within the Therme Laa in Austria’s picturesque Weinviertel, ten adults-only villas rest peacefully beside a private bathing pond. The Gothic symbol of four interlocking circles adorns the façades of the cubic houses, subtly evoking its sacred associations.

In undisturbed tranquility

…a place of complete privacy and relaxation unfolds across 70 square meters. Each villa becomes a personal retreat where soothing wellness moments gently let everyday life fade away. The private spa area, featuring a sauna, experience shower, freestanding bathtub, fireplace, and outdoor whirlpool, invites you to let your body and mind unwind. And for those seeking the refreshing feeling of pure nature, the private bathing pond access allows you to dive straight into the crystal-clear water.

So exklusive

…as the villas, characterized by wood and stone, may be, just as exceptional is the service. How about, for instance, the specially developed holistic Otium treatment featuring massage candles, hand and eye masks, and a scented whirlpool experience for moments of peace and relaxation? Would you prefer dinner served in your villa in the evening? And which pillow would you like for a restful night’s sleep — millet? Swiss pine? The concierge service fulfills wishes you didn’t even know you had. Whether you’ll even feel the urge to visit the thermal spa, the Silent Spa, or join the activity program remains to be seen.

One thing is certain

… In keeping with the monastic traditions of Lower Austria, guests retreat to the Silent Villas for a few hours or days to be completely by themselves — in healing solitude or in intimate togetherness. And in the quiet, they softly whisper four words: I rest within myself.
