Expect a variety of whirlpools in and outside. Bathingsuit is mandatory. If you've forgotten, you can buy one on the spot. There are also massages and treatments possible. The options are not cheap, so keep track of your spemding to prevent surprises at check out. Visitors seem mostly couples. The spa itself is nice, but can get crowded over the weekend. Try to stay away on friday eve amd the holiday seasons. Definitely give the whirlpool a try, dead sea bath etc. Overall, i liked the thermen. Definitely nice for a break. Tip: check out deals on the website and boom your treatments well ahead. The thermen are not cheap, and it may be worthwhile to bring your own bathrobe, towels.

This is, without a doubt, the best sauna/spa in Europe. I travel to Europe twice a month to…read morevarious countries,, and was not expecting the grandeur and opulence of Thermen Berendonck. I booked a morning session in advance, and took a taxi from my hotel. As you approach the Thermen Berendonck hotel and main spa, there is a large park and lake, that will feature in Panasonic Sauna, one of the many on the property. The staff was superb, and check-in was easy. As customary, you have a wristband that allows you access to your locker and the ability to charge food or drinks to your bill. The property is quite large with a large indoor/outdoor pool, spas, and numerous saunas across temperature ranges and atmospheres.

Berendonck ticks all those boxes, having ascended to one of our top three spa destinations in all of Europe. The indoor/outdoor pool is always warm enough for hanging out at the swim-up bar. We also love the steam room with aromatic salts, as well as the other warm pools great for soaking. The saunas are lovely as well, and the food is always great at the restaurant - though the menu is ONLY in Dutch or German. (And you can't have your phone with you to translate since no devices are allowed in the spa area.) If you find co-ed nudity upsetting - DON'T GO! There are no swimsuits allowed anywhere in the facility, though you are expected to wear a bathrobe when you're not soaking or sweating. Most definitely in the restaurant. Truly a magical place. Get over the nudity thing and love life for a hot second. : )
