The sanadome includes hotel and a spa and restaurant. To visit the spa, it is not required to stay…read morein the hotel. The spa is known for its pools. Water is from a local well. 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.

Came here while visiting family in Veenendaal. I can never express to others how utterly obsessed I…read moream with this place. There is NOTHING even close to this in the United States. First let me start off by saying I had no Idea this was a nude facility. As my aunt was dropping me off at the front door I got a casual "You know this is nude right?" and although I really DIDN'T know it was nude I was too embarrassed to say I was shy so I just got a hold of myself and decided "what the hell? lets do this sheit." I guess I should say this place is "clothing optional" but I didn't see a single person wearing clothes I know it may be weird to even bring it up but I feel like its a very important point to touch on for people (like me) who have never been to such an establishment. . I was expecting to walk in and see naked people parading around with their surgically enhanced an altered bodies, and other weirdos staring and being in appropriate but to my pleasant surprise that's not what I got at all. For a minute I forgot I was in Holland where people are inherently more chill and less shallow. Where am I? What is this place? There are people of all shapes and sizes just being REGULAR. no weirdos. no creeps. no body flaunters. just regular people like me being kind to their bodies and enjoying the relaxation. And believe me... there's a lot of relaxing to be done at this place. Now to get to the important part which is the facility itself. am I allowed to say amazeballs on yelp? because AMAZEBALLS. so when we say sauna here in the US what comes to mind is a small 20x20 room with a few people in it enjoying the heat. This is not just your ordinary "sauna".. oh, no no no.,... This is a dutch sauna overload megaplex. There is every different kind of dry sauna, steam room, and plunge pool you can imagine and then some. we're talking high temperature dry sauna, low temperature dry sauna. dry sauna with a salt wall, citrus steam room with different levels, eucalyptus steam room, heated tile seats, plunge pools, hot tubs, indoor pool, outdoor pool, lawn chairs, lounge, bar, restaurant, spa, salt scrub room, infrared lights, and the list goes on. It may not sound as cool as it actually is, and maybe I'm just over-reacting because we don't have anything like this, but seriously, GO HERE. So many Not to mention if you need a little break from the heat or the water you can go to the lounge which is a room where people can lounge on comfy couches and read or nap or meditate or whatever. there's pillows and fire places and so many different seating arrangements it will make your head spin. everyone in the lounge is robed. hungry? grab a bite to eat while you're at it. there's a little restaurant and bar on site. I got a cheese "toastie" and mango smoothie. so delicious! The facility is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I could have spent all day in there.... oh wait... I DID! :)

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.

Just to get it out there... we've visited a LOT of sauna/spa complexes around Europe. We give our…read morehighest marks to those that allow textile-free bathing, offer a nice array of warm pools, ample areas for rest and relaxation, and a good culinary experience - food and wine - as well. 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. : )
