AVIVA make friends – The Single & Adults‑Only Hotel for Singles and Solo Travellers in Austria

The AVIVA make friends hotel is Austria’s first hotel designed entirely for singles, solo travellers, and friends. A place where you can meet new people, enjoy shared activities, and still relax and have time for yourself.
No couples. No children. No obligations.
Adults only. Good vibes only. Just you – and people who are just as open as you are.

Why AVIVA is Perfect for Singles & Solo Travellers

Travel Alone – But Not Lonely

All guests arrive solo at AVIVA, and that’s exactly what our concept is made for: you travel alone but feel welcome and included from the very first moment.
Shared tables, socialising formats, and a varied activity programme make it easy to start conversations – with no pressure at all.

Meet New People – Naturally

Whether at breakfast, on a hike, in a fitness class, at dinner, or in the AVIVA Dance Club:
You decide how much social interaction you want. Everything is optional.

Time for Yourself Always

Wellness, nature, quiet spaces, and retreat areas ensure you can relax whenever you like – without compromise.

Events that Connect

Workshops, sports, culinary experiences, club nights in the hotel disco, and our rustic AVIVA Alm:
AVIVA offers experiences that bring people together and make your holiday unforgettable.

Adults Only – Holidays Without Couples & Children

AVIVA is an adults-only hotel from 18 years up.
This creates a relaxed, clear atmosphere where you can feel free and comfortable – no family noise, no couple romance, no typical holiday roles.

• Spacious relaxation areas
• Massages, treatments, beauty, and cosmetics

• Wellness garden with swimming pond, pool bar, beach volleyball

A place to switch off, recharge, and simply be yourself.

• Fitness & functional training
• Yoga & relaxation
• Hiking & biking
• Dance classes & workshops
