World's Strangest Spas

Andy Williams

Marienkron, Austria

Get a massage by a habit-toting Austrian at this nun-run spa. After years of operating a chicken farming business, the sisters made over Marienkron Abbey as a wellness center in 1969. The menu ranges from lymphatic drainage massages to colonics. One signature treatment created by a 19^th-century priest involved being hosed with hot and cold water. You can always cap it off with a little holy water by attending a mass during your stay.
