Condé Nast Traveller Wellness & Spa Award 2025 goes to the Tegernsee Luxury Resort

15 September 2025

The Spa & Resort Bachmair Weissach has received a prestigious international distinction: Condé Nast Traveller, one of the world’s most renowned travel magazines, has presented the resort with the inaugural Wellness & Spa Award 2025. In the category “Family Hideaway”, the five-star resort on Lake Tegernsee was named best in class – honored for a unique concept that seamlessly blends luxury, culture, nature, and family excellence at the highest level.

Hotelier and visionary Korbinian Kohler personally accepted the award from Divia Thani, Global Editorial Director of Condé Nast Traveller, and Dennis Braatz, Head of Editorial Content of Condé Nast Traveller Germany. Max Scharnigg(author, journalist, and editor) delivered a celebratory and thoughtful laudation for owner Korbinian Kohler and his Bachmair Weissach world at Tegernsee. The jury recognized the resort’s unparalleled breadth – from deep moments of mindfulness and philosophical dialogue to Japanese onsen rituals, culinary highlights, and a wide range of family experiences.

“With this award, we are taking on a pioneering role within the international elite of luxury hospitality,” explains Korbinian Kohler, Hotelier of the Year 2023 and owner of the Bachmair Weissach Group. “It fills us with pride and gratitude that our path has been affirmed: to establish Lake Tegernsee not only as one of the most beautiful regions in Germany, but as a globally leading sanctuary for contemporary luxury.”

The Spa & Resort Bachmair Weissach defines what a grand hotel of the 21st century embodies: a holistic experience shaped by four pillars –

timeless aesthetics and contemporary design,

bespoke multi-generational offerings,

the fusion of philosophy and art,

and an all-encompassing experience of the Tegernsee region.

Guests can, for example, discover contemporary art in Gallery KOKO in the morning, enjoy outdoor activities such as stand-up paddling or hiking on the Wallberg in the afternoon, and choose in the evening between fine dining, elevated Bavarian cuisine, the Japanese MIZU Sushi Bar, or a dinner at one of the resort’s satellite venues: the historic Altes Badin Wildbad Kreuth, the BOOM BOOM Restaurant at Hotel Bussi Baby, or the Clubhaus Tegernsee directly on the lake.

Today, the Spa & Resort Bachmair Weissach stands for far more than classical luxury hospitality. It is the very essence of the Tegernsee Valley – a sanctuary that sets new standards in diversity and international flair.
