Tiny Toes, Big Bliss: Moar Gut’s New Lillee Baby Spa Is Wellness for the Tiniest Travellers
When it comes to luxury family travel, we’ve seen it all—from private treehouse suites with gold-plated cribs to butler-drawn bubble baths with organic lavender. But Moar Gut Family Nature Resort in Salzburg, Austria, has just raised the (very tiny) bar: enter the Lillee Baby Spa, a pint-sized wellness haven designed entirely for babies as young as two weeks old. Yes, you read that right—baby wellness is officially a thing, and Moar Gut is pioneering it with European elegance and Alpine serenity.
A Spa Day Before Solids? Why Not.
Opened in June 2024, the Lillee Baby Spa isn’t your average “kids’ club with beanbags” setup. This is a carefully curated sanctuary for the resort’s youngest (and arguably most demanding) guests. Think baby-sized soaking tubs, a dedicated massage and yoga zone, a breastfeeding and relaxation lounge that could rival most adult spas, and treatments that sound like something out of Gwyneth Paltrow’s day planner—but designed for newborns.
Tucked away in the heart of Salzburg’s alpine countryside, Moar Gut has long been known for blending family comfort with understated luxury. But the Lillee Spa takes its ethos of holistic family wellbeing to a new—and impressively adorable—level.
Float Like a Baby, Sleep Like One Too
The crown jewel of the spa’s treatment menu? Baby Floating. No, it’s not a TikTok trend or a whimsical metaphor. It’s a real therapy, where infants over 3kg drift weightlessly in tubs of pure mountain spring water, supported by a gentle neck ring. The experience mimics the calming environment of the womb, while subtly stimulating motor skills, promoting better sleep, and gently calming the nervous system.
It’s like a baby’s version of a float tank—minus the existential crisis.
Massage, Movement & Milk Breaks
The spa is led by Christina Schöninger—a pediatric nurse, cranio-sacral therapist, and mother, who makes infant wellness seem as natural as nap time. She also guides parents through Baby Massage Instruction, where they learn techniques to support digestion, boost immunity, and relieve tummy troubles. Spoiler alert: these massages also double as colic-fighting secret weapons.
Then there’s Basal Stimulation, a gentle therapy incorporating massage and baby yoga to encourage sensory development and help soothe fussy little ones. It’s about creating a world where every touch is intentional—and every giggle a milestone.
Baby yoga, you ask? It’s not about striking tiny poses for Instagram. At Moar Gut, it’s a bonding experience that encourages body awareness and coordination, all while offering parents a moment to breathe, connect, and maybe—just maybe—relax.
Wellness, Womb to Crib
For those seeking the full experience, the spa offers unique combination treatments like the Baby deluxe kombi, where massage and floating are paired in one blissed-out session. Or the Baby relax kombi, which combines basal stimulation with floating for maximum zen.
Treatments range from €42 to €270—not exactly pocket change for a pre-verbal guest, but given the setting, the expertise, and the smiles (and naps) that follow, many parents are calling it a priceless investment.
And let’s be honest: if you’ve already booked a five-star family resort in the Austrian Alps, what’s a little spa indulgence for your little one?
A Baby Spa Today, a Wellness Guru Tomorrow?
Whether it’s setting a tiny precedent for self-care or simply helping your baby sleep better on vacation, the Lillee Baby Spa taps into something that parents across the globe are starting to prioritise: wellness doesn’t have to wait until adulthood. Or even toddlerhood.
Moar Gut hasn’t just added a new amenity—they’ve redefined what luxury means for families traveling with infants. It’s not about overstimulation, but presence. Not about flashy tech or toys, but touch, connection, and calm.
Which, when you think about it, might just be the most luxurious thing of all.
