Plan your sauna day in Amsterdam

A complete sauna day in Amsterdam

A visit to Zuiver is about more than just sauna. It is about finding the right balance between heat, cooling down and relaxation. Throughout the wellness resort, you will find a variety of saunas and heat experiences, each with its own temperature and atmosphere. Between sauna sessions, cool down, take a swim, relax in the spa garden or unwind in one of our warm baths.

Zuiver is suitable for both experienced sauna visitors and those visiting an extensive sauna for the first time. You decide the pace of your wellness day: from peaceful sauna sessions and relaxing baths to an aufguss, lunch, a massage or an overnight stay at the hotel.

Why Choose Zuiver?

In everyday life, many of us spend hours in front of screens, with little time to truly slow down. A wellness day at Zuiver gives you the opportunity to step away from the daily rush and make time for yourself. By alternating between different saunas, cooling down and moments of relaxation, you give your body the space to recover and your mind the chance to unwind.

Many guests leave Zuiver feeling relaxed, with a clear mind and renewed energy.

Daily aufguss sessions with our sauna masters

For those who enjoy an aufguss, there is a programme every day. Our sauna masters host at least eight complimentary aufguss sessions a day, seven days a week. During an aufguss, water infused with aromatic oils is poured over the sauna heater, after which the sauna master circulates the heat and fragrances throughout the sauna.

The programme and sessions may vary, so we recommend checking the current programme before your visit.

Cooling down and relaxing between sauna sessions

After the heat, there is plenty of space to cool down and relax. From the heated indoor pool, you can swim straight outside. The pool is 40 metres long and extends into the spa garden. You will also find whirlpools, a hot tub, aromatic baths and a plunge pool with water at approximately 14°C.

You can spend a large part of your wellness day outdoors too. Located on the edge of the Amsterdamse Bos, the spa garden features a heated outdoor pool, sunbathing lawn, whirlpool and access to various saunas and relaxation areas.

This creates the natural rhythm of a complete wellness day: heat, cooling down, fresh air and moments of quiet in between.

A sauna day is all about finding the right balance

“For me, a good sauna day is all about variety. Not just between different temperatures and saunas, but also between heat, cooling down and relaxation. That is why we encourage guests to take their time, drink plenty of water and build up their wellness day gradually. An aufguss can be a special moment during the day, but spending time outdoors in the spa garden, swimming or simply relaxing between two sauna sessions is just as much a part of the overall experience.

Everyone experiences a wellness day in their own way. Above all, listen to your body and choose the saunas and temperatures that feel comfortable for you. Our sauna masters and spa team are always happy to help if you have any questions about the saunas, aufguss sessions or how to make the most of your wellness day.”
