OMG! Infinity Pool Paradise in the Austrian Alps! (Sankt Martin) - My Brain Dump of Awesome (and a Few Quirks)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just escaped the sheer, unadulterated gorgeousness of OMG! Infinity Pool Paradise in Sankt Martin, Austria, and I'm basically a walking, talking exclamation point. Forget your stuffy, chain-hotel reviews. This is gonna be raw, it's gonna be real, and it's gonna be about whether this place actually delivers on that "infinity pool paradise" promise. Spoiler alert: it mostly, gloriously, does.
First Impressions (and OMG, That Pool!)
The name says it all. OMG. Seriously. The first thing that smacks you in the face (after the crisp mountain air, obvi) is that infinity pool. You walk out, take a breath, and… BAM. Turquoise water melting into a panorama of the Austrian Alps. It’s staged perfectly – like a movie set. I almost forgot to check in, just wanting to dive right in – which, by the way, is the correct response. That's where most everyone spends the bulk of their time, drinking in that incredible view.
Accessibility: Smooth Sailing (Mostly)
Now, I'm not a wheelchair user, but I did take a good look around with accessibility in mind. They seem to have done a decent job! There's an elevator, and the public areas appear to be wheelchair-friendly. I noticed some ramped access and wide doorways, which is a good start. However, I didn’t see specific bathroom setups, so I'd definitely recommend contacting the hotel directly if you have specific needs. They generally seem attentive and willing to help, an important factor that's often overlooked.
The Vibe: Relaxation Station (and a Tiny Hiccup)
This place screams relaxation. There are so many ways to unwind. The spa/sauna area is gorgeous - and I'm not usually a sauna person, but I loved the experience there. They had a beautiful steamroom, a foot bath to soak your tired tootsies, (yes, I did!) and the massage was pure bliss. My masseuse, a lovely woman named Heidi, was incredible. She ironed out the knots I didn't even know I had. The gym/fitness center itself isn't HUGE, but it's well-equipped enough to maintain your routine or help you feel less guilty about all the delicious food you're about to consume.
Now for the tiny hiccup. The "minus" bit, which is really more of a minor detail, but for my own experience, I'll include. The resort is a bit isolated, which is perfect for total immersion in nature. However, let's just say that on-site, there's limited access to stores, markets and other outlets that a person might need. So, if you're like me, and sometimes you forget a bunch of stuff, make sure to pack everything you think you could possibly need.
Food, Glorious Food! (And a Few More Observations)
Alright, let's talk grub. The restaurants are fantastic! They have a buffet in restaurant at certain times of the day. There's a fantastic Asian cuisine in restaurant, and it's really top-notch; the Western cuisine in restaurant is also excellent. I indulged in a lot of the desserts in restaurant, can't lie. They offer vegetarian options, salad in restaurant, soup in restaurant, the usual stuff. The breakfast [buffet] is something you'll look forward to - international, even! Seriously, I started my day with mountains of deliciousness. And the coffee/tea in restaurant is always on point.
I tried the Room service [24-hour] service once… and honestly, it was a bit slow. But the food was good once it arrived, so… I'll chalk that up to a busy night.
The Room: Cozy, Comfortable, and Connected (But Maybe a Little Too Connected?)
My room (a non-smoking one, obvi) was a haven of comfort. Seriously high-quality. Air conditioning and complimentary tea – which is essential after a long day of, you know, relaxing. The Wi-Fi [free] was a godsend. The Internet and Internet access – wireless made it easy to share my envious photos. The desk and laptop workspace were great, even though I mostly used them to scroll social media. Everything was clean and well-maintained (Daily housekeeping is a lifesaver!), and the blackout curtains were perfect for sleeping in late. And I loved the little touches, like the bathrobes and slippers.
However, it’s a small thing, but the hair dryer, the wall outlets, the whole kit-and-caboodle just didn't feel as high-tech as you might expect from something styled as "Infinity Pool Paradise". Still, as a plus, the soundproofing really worked.
Services and Conveniences: They've Got You Covered
They've thought of almost everything. Daily housekeeping, laundry service, and dry cleaning. Concierge service for any questions. The 24-hour front desk is reassuring. They even have a gift/souvenir shop if you need a last-minute present (or just want to treat yourself!). The car park [free of charge] is a major plus.
And for the Kids…?
I didn't bring any rugrats with me, but I did see some kids facilities and a babysitting service listed, so I'll assume they're as kid-friendly as they say!
Cleanliness and Safety: Reassuring in the New Normal
This place is clean. They're taking sanitation seriously. I noticed hand sanitizer stations everywhere, and the staff seemed diligent about hygiene. They proudly displayed their Hygiene certification, and I saw evidence that anti-viral cleaning products were being used. The staff clearly undergo Staff trained in safety protocol. I’m a clean freak in certain ways, so I was especially pleased at the physical distancing of at least 1 meter they enforce.
Things to Do (Besides Just Floating in Bliss)
Look, you're not going to be bored here. Besides the pool, the spa, and the eating, there are plenty of ways to get active. The mountains are right there! Hiking trails abound. I’d recommend a little hike – you would be really rewarded. Plus, they have a bicycle parking area! Get out there and explore the beauty.
The Verdict: Go. Just Go.
Look, I’m not usually one for hyperbole, but OMG! Infinity Pool Paradise really is pretty darn close to paradise (despite those tiny, tiny imperfections). It's the perfect blend of luxury, nature, and relaxation. It's a place to unplug, recharge, and just be.
My Honest Recommendation:
OMG! Infinity Pool Paradise gets a solid 9.5/10 from me. Go. Book it. Pack your swimsuit, your sense of adventure, and your appetite. You won't regret it.

Okay, buckle up buttercup. This isn't your pristine, perfectly-planned itinerary. This is the REAL DEAL. We're talking Sankt Martin am Tennengebirge, Austria, apartment with a KILLER shared infinity pool, and a whole lotta me trying to navigate it. Let's get messy.
Title: Operation: Alpine Bliss (and Maybe Avoiding Absolute Disaster - My Austria Adventure)
The Players: Me (the perpetually optimistic, slightly clumsy traveler). Possibly a very confused spouse/friend/relative. And, of course, the majestic Austrian Alps.
Accommodation: Apartment – Shared Infinity Pool Life in Sankt Martin am Tennengebirge (fingers crossed the other guests aren’t ALL Olympic swimmers).
(Day 1: Arrival, Altitude Adjustment, and the Agony of Grocery Shopping)
- Morning (ish): Travel Day. Flights. Trains. The usual travel-induced chaos. I'm pretty sure I left my noise-canceling headphones on the airport security belt. Brilliant. Note to self: Invest in a decent travel pillow. My neck already feels like a question mark.
- Afternoon: Arrive at the apartment. Holy moly. The view. Seriously, the view. Mountains poking out of the clouds like giant, fluffy pillows. I almost cried. And then I remembered I packed the wrong kind of hiking socks. Ugh, the small things.
- Afternoon - (More): The grocery store. An Austrian supermarket. My butchered German is already failing me. I spent twenty minutes staring at the dairy aisle, completely baffled by the sheer variety of yogurt. Ended up buying something that looked vaguely like "plain" and praying. The checkout lady gave me the side-eye when I fumbled with the change. Fair enough.
- Evening: Unpack (sort of). Found the wine. Good. The balcony. Breathtaking. And. A sudden panic that I don't actually like hiking. Then I decided to let the view get some sun, I mean, I'm pretty sure it deserves it.
- Evening - (Later): The Infinity Pool. Oh. My. God. The water was colder than I expected, and my toes were curled. But the view. The absolute, glorious view. Swam a few (very slow) laps, did a few (terrible) backstrokes. Bliss. Then, I dropped my phone in the water. Luckily, I saved it. My phone is fine! My dignity, however, suffered minor damage.
(Day 2: Hiking Hell (or, at Least, a Moderate Stroll with Spectacular Views))
- Morning: Wake up to the ringing of the sun. Breakfast: My suspicious yogurt, some dubious bread, and way too much coffee. Energized, I felt like a new person!
- Morning - (Actually): THE HIKE. Planned a relatively "easy" trail. Apparently, "easy" in the Alps means "uphill for an hour and a half, then slightly less uphill." The views are spectacular. I mean, unbelievably spectacular. But my legs? They are screaming. I feel a lot like a mountain goat. A very slow, slightly wheezy mountain goat. My brain, however, felt like it was operating at 90%.
- Afternoon: Apfelstrudel. It’s the law. Found a little cafĂ© in a tiny village. Ate the most amazing Apfelstrudel of my life, right as a dog came over to beg. I probably gave it some.
- Afternoon - (Later): Regroup. Back at the apartment, crashed for an hour on the couch. Definitely had a nap. Then it was time to face my biggest fear and cook. I have limited cooking experience. This might get ugly.
- Evening: Dinner Debacle. Cooked dinner. It was a semi-disaster. Slightly burnt. The food was burnt. But, I am alive. The sunset made up for everything.
(Day 3: The Downhill Slide (of Skiing! (Or, Trying To))
- Morning: Decided to try skiing. This is probably a mistake. I've skied once before, and I essentially spent the entire time on my butt. The sky was a perfect blue, and the air was crisp. The people at the ski rental shop just laughed at me, I am sure of it.
- Morning - (Actually): THE SKIING LESSON. The instructor was kind, but his patience was clearly wearing thin. I mostly fell over. I tried to glide, however, the mountain was more than happy to make me fall. I spent a lot of time on my back, looking at the sky and contemplating life choices.
- Afternoon: Gave up on skiing (for now, maybe). Went for a snowshoe walk instead. It was… peaceful. The views were incredible. I definitely saw more of the mountain face during the hike.
- Evening: More Infinity Pool time. No phone this time. Just me, the stars, and the incredible, almost overwhelming feeling of being in the right place at the right time. Maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to understand why all the mountains look the way they do.
(Day 4: Cultural Exploration and Farewell Fears)
- Morning: Visit the local town. The shops were quaint, I just didn't know what was happening… I was very scared to speak German, but at least I got some really cool stuff.
- Afternoon: More hiking! After some convincing, I went back and got to the top of the mountain. I even waved to the tourists!
- Evening: Dinner. I was so very sad that I had to leave. I got some great food, took some pictures, and went to the pool again.
(Day 5: Departure - Saying Goodbye (and Secretly Planning a Return))
- Morning: Wake up. Pack. Sigh. The end.
- Morning - (Later): Final Infinity Pool dip. Soak it all in.
- Afternoon: Travel home. Reflecting. I'm exhausted, sunburnt, slightly bruised, and utterly, completely in love with Austria.
- Evening: Start planning the next trip. Because, let's be honest, one trip to the Alps is never enough.
Final Thoughts (and Possibly a Few Tears):
This trip wasn't perfect. There were hiccups, meltdowns, and moments of pure, unadulterated awkwardness. I was tired. I was confused. I was out of my element. But, amidst all that beautiful chaos, I found something… well, I don't know what it was… I just want to go back.
The Austrian Alps are magic. And so, apparently, is a shared infinity pool. Even if I spent half the time underwater.

OMG! Infinity Pool Paradise in the Austrian Alps: FAQ (Get Ready, It's a Rollercoaster!)
So, is this place *really* as good as it looks on Instagram? Because, let's be honest, Insta lies.
Tell me about the rooms. Are they as luxurious as the photos imply? And, like...clean?!?
The food! Is it worth the hype (and the price tag, probably)?
Is it kid-friendly? Because, let's be real, some "luxury" places are just… not.
The spa? Is it as relaxing as it seems, or just overpriced?
What's the deal with getting there? Is it as remote/difficult as it looks on the map?
Any local experiences you can't miss? Aside from staring at the pool, of course.
