On January 21, a rather controversial piece of clothing is celebrated worldwide: sweatpants. Even if you are not their biggest fan, everyone likes to feel cozy, right? Whether the old pants from your partner or your new stylish yoga pants, the main thing is that you feel comfortable – and these eco-hotels will make you instantly feel good!

 

Simply do nothing

The HUBERTUS unplugged has the perfect offer for everyone who wants to be lazy: “NIXTUN” (“Don’t do anything”). A special program to discover slowness, without stressful appointments and no obligations, but with a late riser breakfast on the sun terrace, lazy lunch in a bathrobe, massage with a panoramic view, yoga in the afternoon and a dinner with Ayurvedic spices – so that even your digestion is working without stress. There is also a postcard service to send offline greetings to your loved ones at home.

Feeling relaxed thanks to the fairy-tale setting of the castle

Besides gorgeous nature, overlooking the English park and the neighboring Lake Constance, two things await you at Schloss Wartegg: time and space to unwind. So, grab your sweatpants and stroll around the large park!

On around 130,000 square meters you can walk under shady lime, plane, and chestnuts, trees, discover watercourses and secluded clearings. And you’ll meet very special sheep: the “Bündner Oberländer”, endangered animals which are raised here enjoying the lush meadows in the castle garden. They are a mixture of old sheep breeds and very adaptable and resilient – and by the way, they replace lawnmowers. 😉

Green, greener, Spreewald

The Strandhaus Boutique Resort & Spa is located in the Spreewald biosphere reserve, surrounded by the river Spree. From your balcony, you have a great view of the garden and the river – deep green and bubbling water all around you. By the way, we recommend relaxing in the special resting cubes right on the Spree, which you can even rent for romantic hours for two or for a wellness break with your best friend. Perfect to unwind after a visit to the bio sauna!

A small paradise for nature lovers

Half an hour away from Passau is an oasis of calm in which you will not want to take off your sweatpants: the Hofgut Hafnerleiten in Bad Birnbach. You can choose between eleven individually and uniquely designed houses, located at the lake, in the garden or at the edge of the woods. If you don’t want to cook yourself, you can let yourself be spoiled by the host and head chef personally. As the Hofgut finds his origin in culinary art, a great value is set upon healthy cuisine. Dining takes place at a long family table with Mediterranean charm that invites all guests to get to know each other talk eat and drink together.

Enchanting wonderland in Thailand

If you want to extend Sweatpants Day and leave everyday life behind, a trip to Keemala in Thailand is just perfect for you: The “villa wonderland” in in the woodlands of Kamala, Phuket, has its own pool for every guest and celebrates the culture of four mystical ancient tribes. Stroll through the enchanting gardens, find deep inner peace in the Mala Holistic Spa and learn how to prepare traditional Thai curry in the organic garden – and best of all, do it all in sweatpants. 😉
