For Mount Med, a newcomer having only opened in December 2024, to be ranked alongside these long-established institutions demonstrates its rapid ascent, positioning it as part of a new wave of Austrian health resorts redefining integrative wellness for the modern traveller. Mount Med’s placement also puts it ahead of iconic European destinations such as Palazzo Fiuggi (#14) and Buchinger Wilhelmi Marbella (#15), highlighting the resort’s growing recognition as a serious player in the international wellness landscape.
