Hotel Bora HotSpaResort
Modern, design-led wellness resort with a strong nudist sauna culture and Japanese spa influences. Calm, pared-back interiors — warm oak and linen, not flashy. Feels more like a very good German spa hotel than an international luxury chain.
Book the 4-course half-board dinner in advance (€53 per person) rather than on arrival (€60)
Why It Matters
The 8,000 m² bora Sauna is a fully public nudist wellness complex included in every room rate — with a Japanese Onsen bath running at 38–49°C, nine specialty saunas including smoke, earth, and bamboo varieties, an outdoor pool, and direct Lake Constance beach access. Nominated for the Tophotel Opening Awards in 2013 and consistently praised for its sauna garden. The hotel sits at the three-country corner of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
A 4-star Superior designer and wellness resort right on the western shore of Lake Constance, opened in 2013 with 84 rooms and suites, all with balconies. The defining feature is a massive 8,000 m² public nudist sauna complex — included in the room rate — with direct lake access, a Japanese Onsen bath, and nine different saunas. Warm oak, felt, and sailcloth interiors throughout, refined Euro-Asiatic dining in Restaurant Rubin, and a rooftop Sky Lounge with 180° lake views.
