YONA and Yonaguni Spa: the spa on the wine route
A Japanese-inspired spa complex at Obernai on the Alsace wine route: indoor and outdoor pools, private hot tubs, and day passes without staying the night.
The verdict
The Yonaguni Spa is the biggest wellness experience in the region: a Japanese-inspired complex at Obernai, on the Alsace wine route, with indoor and outdoor pools, private hot tubs and full rituals. YONA is the new face of the old Parc Hôtel Obernai, a family institution reinvented, and the day spa option opens the place up without staying the night.
The rooms and the spa
Calm rooms turned towards the countryside, and a spa on a scale that exists nowhere else in Alsace: this is where you come when a hotel hammam is no longer enough. Rates swing a lot with the season and the package, so compare before you commit.
Booking tip
Weekend slots go very fast, day spa included: book midweek if your dates allow. One thing to be clear about: this is not a Strasbourg base. You are out on the wine route, so it works as a decompression weekend paired with the villages around, not as a sightseeing address.
Book this hotel: for a stay during the Christmas market, book several weeks ahead. It is the busiest fortnight of the Strasbourg year and the good rooms go first.
