For many people, trying to stretch their limited travel budget a bit further, choosing a backpacker hostel or youth hostel is the most practical option. Typically, such choices prioritize a good night's sleep over other amenities — things like gyms, pools, and saunas, which one might usually only expect in hotels, are often not even considered. But in September this year, the most luxurious youth hostel yet, wellnessHostel4000, opened in Switzerland. With stunning floor-to-ceiling windows and private amenities like a pool and spa, guests might even wonder if they’ve walked into the wrong kind of hotel.

wellnessHostel4000 is located in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and features the world’s first spa and indoor swimming pool in a youth hostel. A bed in a six-person dorm costs just €35 per night, and the spacious accommodations also offer beautiful views of the Swiss mountains — making it a great choice for travelers on a budget who are exploring with friends. For those wanting more privacy, a double room is available for €130 per night.
