Park Igls Medical Spa Resort has been named Best Boutique Retreat at the Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards 2026, adding to the resort’s growing list of accolades and reinforcing its standing in the world of wellness tourism. The award was announced on 16th July.
Managing Director Andrea Gnägi accepted the honour on behalf of the team, saying: “On behalf of my outstanding team, I am honoured to accept this award from such a prestigious organisation. We are committed to providing our guests with a soothing stay that helps them leave with lasting positive effects.”
The resort was recognised for its intimate, welcoming ambience and its pioneering Modern Mayr Medicine treatment programmes, which are unique to Park Igls. The holistic approach combines conventional and complementary methods with cutting-edge science and diagnostics, tailoring each treatment programme to the individual guest’s needs.
Modern Mayr Medicine is built on FX Mayr’s original four principles: rest, cleansing, substitution, and education. Park Igls has expanded this into a six-pillar programme by adding exercise and self-discovery. Central to the approach is gut health, with programmes designed to cleanse, restore, and educate guests on sustainable, long-term lifestyle changes. This includes comprehensive medical checks, manual therapies, movement sessions, and nutrition plans that evolve through multiple dietary stages.
Supporting the treatment programmes is the resort’s bespoke Modern Mayr Cuisine, prepared with organic ingredients and considered integral to the cure process and its results.
Park Igls sits on a sunny parkland plateau overlooking Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol, with panoramic views of snowy peaks and crisp Alpine air. The setting, combined with the resort’s medical expertise and personalised care, has helped it achieve a 70% guest return rate, with many visitors returning regularly to maintain the health improvements gained during earlier stays.
Guests follow structured, personalised itineraries that begin with assessments from specialist doctors and continue with ongoing support to build healthier habits, with an emphasis on empowerment and education. The self-discovery element of the programme is designed to help guests understand their own physical and mental health patterns more deeply.
The Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding properties across hospitality and wellness worldwide. For Park Igls, the award reflects rising demand for evidence-based medical spa experiences at a time when travellers are placing greater emphasis on preventive healthcare and destinations that deliver genuine, medically supported health outcomes. The resort has previously featured in other prestigious industry lists recognising leading destination spas.
