spa information
This is how a visit to Art Garden Spa works:
When you come to Art Garden Spa, you can borrow a bathrobe and slippers. This is the dress code at the spa and you wear it over your swimwear when you move around our premises.
If you are an overnight guest at our hotel, please change into your bathrobe and slippers in your room and wear your swimwear underneath.
You will also be given a mug, flannel and towel. We encourage you to carry these around with you, so that you can easily stay hydrated and also dry off or wipe your face between the different experiences.
Below you can already read about what to experience at the spa, and how to get the most out of your stay.
1
Japanese Ablution and changing
Start your spa experience by scrubbing and rinsing off in the washing room. Ablution is done in silence while you wash yourself with circular movements in the direction of the heart. Ablution is preferably done without a bathing suit on. Shampoo, conditioner, body scrub, shower gel and moisturizing lotion are provided.
The washing rooms are separate for women and men. After Ablution, put on your swimwear, bathrobe and slippers.
2
Room for rest & relaxation
After Ablution, we recommend visiting the dry areas of our rooms for rest & relaxation.
Here you will find several rooms, shaped according to the different character and characteristics of the seasons. During your spa stay, move between the rooms at your own pace. Experience all the seasons or choose the one you need right now.
3
meditate in light or darkness
Our light therapy room is decorated entirely in soothing white. Here you can relax for a while, read a book or just enjoy a moment in the life-giving light.
The dark room is a peaceful place to recover. Here you can rest in warm water beds and find strength and balance in the soothing darkness.
4
hot and cold springs
Now might be the time to head to the wet areas for some warm and lovely swimming. Sink into the warm waters of the hot springs at the top of our spa, and let yourself be enveloped by the almost 40-degree water.
There is also a cold spring to switch between for increased circulation in the feet & legs.
5
outdoor pool, sauna and cold shower
Enjoy our two warm outdoor swimming pools. Sloping rocks and sun decks with comfortable loungers invite you to relax. Enjoy beautiful views and fresh air in all seasons.
In our outdoor saunas, the body regains its strength and energy by being close to nature. Wander between warm saunas and cooling, sometimes hot showers.
6
Sauna oasis
It’s nice to end the spa experience with a moment in the sauna oasis. Here it is the senses that reign. Ice cold coexists with the vapors, the heat is permeated by beautiful beneficial ethereal scents. Let the heat do good in the natural stone sauna or enjoy our steam and salt sauna where real natural salt strengthens your air pipes.
