Tim Kroeger

Tim Kroeger is a luxury wellness travel reviewer, founder of tim-kroeger.com, and creator of the Restorative Index, a six-pillar framework for evaluating whether a luxury hotel or spa genuinely restores you, not just impresses you.
He holds a Bachelor's degree in International Tourism Management from NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands), with study campuses in Bali and Bangkok, two of the world's most important wellness travel destinations, and completed his internship in Costa Rica with CRS Tours, an incoming tour operator specialising in tailored travel experiences.
His coursework covered Destination Marketing, Tourism Industry Operations, Product Development, Strategic Management, and Business Economics. From 2014 to 2020, Tim worked for Lufthansa German Airlines as a Flight Attendant, completing the Lufthansa Aviation Training service programme, sharpening his eye for premium hospitality standards, individualized guest care, and what genuine service excellence actually feels like from the inside.
Crossing time zones weekly across 110+ countries, he came to understand what constant travel does to your body, and how few hotels are truly built around recovery. That experience became the foundation of his work.
Today, Tim reviews luxury wellness hotels, spas, and thermal retreats with 230+ personally tested nights and 15+ years of global travel behind every evaluation.
His standard is simple: does a stay leave you better than you arrived?
His expertise has been recognised by international media, including the German newspaper NGZ Online, the New Zealand news website Stuff, and the German radio channel News89.4.
