spa with children
It is both fun and exciting to invite children into a spa and let them explore this world with you. Take the chance during the school holidays, because during those periods of the year, we open Art Garden Spa – Family Edition.
Art Garden Spa – family edition
During summer vacations and selected days during school holidays, Art Garden Spa is open for the whole family in the mornings. Other times there is a 15-year age limit.
The following applies during the family weeks:
- Children are welcome at the Art Garden Spa between 08:00 and 13:30.
- The child must be completely diaper-free and be able to swim in normal swimwear (not a swim diaper).
- All children visit the spa accompanied by an adult.
- In the gym, the age limit is 15 years.
This is how a visit to Art Garden Spa works:
First, you will be welcomed in the spa reception and will be given a bathrobe, washcloth, towel, mug and basket to take around with you during your time at the spa.
If you are an overnight guest at our hotel, please change into your bathrobe and slippers in your room and wear your swimwear underneath.
Please bring slippers and bathrobe for the little ones. The minimum size of slippers is 37 and the bathrobe fits a six/seven year old.
Below you can read about what to experience at the spa and how to get the most out of your stay. In our pools, it’s not the time to make the “bomb”, but here we keep a calm atmosphere and let the whole family unwind.
1
Japanese Ablution and changing
In the washing room, you sit on wooden stools and pour hot water into the small copper tub. You pour the water over your body, take your washcloth and scrub your whole body thoroughly with soap and water. It’s hard to scrub your own back, so you’ll have to help each other. Take your time. In Japan, they wash for at least an hour.
Then it’s time to dry off, put on your swimwear, bathrobe and slippers.

start with our Rest & Relaxation Rooms
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.

meditate in light or darkness
You can also enjoy a cosy visit to the light therapy room and the darkroom. In the light therapy room, you can relax for a while in the life-giving light. The darkroom is a peaceful place for relaxation. Here you can rest in warm water beds and find strength and balance in the soothing darkness.
4
fruit hour
Now it’s probably time for fruit time. Fruit and tea are available when you need to replenish your energy. Read a book or just relax for a while and enjoy the peace and quiet.
5
it’s time for a bath
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.
6
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.
7
Sauna oasis
It’s fun to end your spa experience with a moment in the sauna oasis. There are a variety of saunas, whirlpools, foot baths and experience showers.
Maybe someone will dare to try a quick dip in the cold spring? How long can you last in the icy water before you have to go back into a warm sauna again?

try yoga
During the family weeks, we have a special yoga session adapted for children, with a lot of flow and easier positions. Soft and flexible clothing is recommended.
Treatments for children
Children find it nice and exciting to have a treatment. We have a number of treatments that are specially adapted for children aged between 5 and 14. For other treatments, the age limit is 15. Remember to book well in advance of your stay.
