What role does wellness play for our guests today?
Today, wellness is primarily about consciously taking time for oneself. In an increasingly fast-paced world, the need for peace, slowing down, and genuine time out continues to grow. Our guests are looking for places where they can recharge, feel free, and gain distance from their daily routines. That is exactly why we created the Hof-Therme: as a retreat dedicated to well-being, regeneration, and inner balance.
Self-care routines
When was the last time you consciously set aside time just for yourself? In our daily lives, we often forget how important small breaks are. But self-care doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Self-care starts with small rituals – even just a few minutes a day can help bring your body and mind into balance.
Centering yourself – start with a deep breath and take a moment just for yourself.
Hydration – a large glass of water nourishes your body and gives you new energy.
Movement – whether it is a short walk, gentle stretching or yoga, every bit of movement counts.
Enjoying warmth – a sauna session or a warm bath relaxes your muscles and helps you let go of the day’s stresses.
Find peace – a good book, a cup of tea or five minutes of silence can work wonders.
Our tip: self-care isn’t a luxury! It’s a conscious investment in your well-being. Find your own personal rituals and regularly treat yourself to small, intentional breaks and moments of relaxation. What better place to do this than the spa world at the Hof-Therme?

Luxury means time
Dear Melanie, what makes the Hof-Therme at Alter Meierhof such a special place for you?
The Hof-Therme is far more than a traditional wellness area. It is a place of tranquility and arrival, where our guests can leave everyday life behind and reconnect with themselves. Its unique location directly on the Flensburg Fjord, the elegant atmosphere, and our holistic spa concept create an experience that appeals to all the senses and provides lasting relaxation.
Proper Care for Swimwear
One of our most important summer essentials is undoubtedly our swimwear. It’s not only practical but can also be a real eye-catcher. With the right care, the colors stay vibrant and the shape holds up, so you can enjoy your swimwear for as long as possible. Here are our best care tips for your summer essentials.
So, rinse your favorite bikini, swimsuit, and other swimwear thoroughly with clean water right after swimming to remove salt and chlorine residue. At home, we recommend gentle hand washing or a delicate cycle with a special mild detergent that’s gentle on the fibers. Wet swimwear should also not be stored in plastic bags for long periods, as heat and moisture can damage the material and create a breeding ground for bacteria. Intense UV radiation also causes colors to fade and makes the material porous. Therefore, it’s best not to let your swimwear dry in direct sunlight for extended periods; instead, use an old swimsuit when you want to sunbathe for a long time.
Find the perfect fit that makes you feel completely comfortable—with exclusive MyMarini swimwear. The brand sets new standards in aesthetics, fit, quality, and sustainability, and stands out for its flattering cuts and understated elegance.

Fit and active in the summer
Summer is the perfect time to spend plenty of time outdoors. Even small physical activities help get your circulation going, recharge your batteries, and make you feel better overall. It doesn’t have to be an intense workout or a gym membership – many sports can be easily and flexibly integrated into your daily routine. Just 20 to 30 min. of exercise a day can have a positive effect on your health and well-being.
Which sports are particularly suitable for summer? Light endurance and movement-based sports that take place outdoors and gently activate the body are especially popular in the summer.
Cycling: Whether a leisurely ride or something a bit more athletic—cycling builds muscle and endurance without putting excessive strain on the joints. Swimming: Swimming is perfect, especially on hot days. The water cools the body, relieves pressure on the joints, and simultaneously works nearly all muscle groups. Walking, light jogging, or Nordic walking: Even a short walk in nature stimulates the heart and circulation, improves blood flow, and boosts endurance. Gentle movements promote flexibility, balance, and relaxation—ideal for both body and mind.
Summer Skincare Tips
When temperatures rise and the sun draws us outdoors, your skin needs special care. Heat, UV rays, and dry air can quickly stress the skin and strip it of the moisture it needs. Light, refreshing formulas provide ideal support during this time and are particularly soothing. Ingredients such as aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, or prickly pear extracts help keep your skin supple and fresh while stabilizing its moisture balance.
To thoroughly remove sweat and environmental and product residue from the skin’s surface, daily cleansing in the morning and evening is essential.
The sun gives us warmth, energy, and a good mood—but for our skin, intense sunlight also poses a major challenge. While UV rays promote vitamin D production, too much sun can cause lasting damage to the skin. Sunburn, premature aging, and pigmentation spots are common consequences of excessive UV exposure.
It is therefore particularly important to be mindful of sun exposure: plenty of shade, protective clothing, and regular application of sunscreen help keep your skin healthy and radiant throughout the summer months. Sunscreen products for the face and body with a sufficiently high SPF should be part of your daily routine, because well-cared-for skin is, above all, protected skin.
For perfect skincare, use prevention+ by IMAGE. Advanced moisturizers with broad-spectrum sun protection against UVA/UVB. Medical studies confirm that sun exposure, environmental pollution, stress, and smoke are the main causes of skin cancer and premature skin aging. Protect your skin daily with a moisturizer from IMAGE that is tailored to your skin type.
