Aqua Dome

Aqua Dome sits in Oberlängenfeld in the Ötztal valley, Tyrol, combining a public thermal bath with a hotel spa. Day visitors can use the therme, sauna and fitness areas, while hotel guests get additional access to the SPA 3000, a separate wellness area reserved for overnight guests.

The water facilities include three outdoor floating pools (Schwebeschalen) with mountain views, a 25-metre sports pool, and a river pool with a current channel. There's also a sauna garden, a pool bar, and an outdoor lounging area with free loungers for stretching out between soaks.

Families are well catered for: the minimum age is 3, and kids have their own water world, Alpen Arche Noah, with slides, a water fun park on deck, and a climbing and play area with a crafts corner. Free childcare is available from age 3, along with a free crib, extra bed and stroller on request. Robes, towels and a bath bag are included for guests, and couples can book a Private Spa Suite as a signature treatment.

Practical details: there's a parking garage with EV charging, free Wi-Fi, and staff speak German, English, French, Russian and Italian. The spa is open daily from 9am to 11pm, with Friday hours extending to midnight. Walk-ins are accepted, but online reservation is recommended given limited capacity at busy times.
