The purity of Groningen
Thermen Bad Nieuweschans is situated in the Groningen countryside, where silence can still truly be heard. Right on the German border, you’ll find the tranquillity that makes Groningen so distinctive. From authentic Norwegian saunas and relaxation rooms to mineral baths and soothing treatments featuring wonderfully fragrant Groningen rapeseed: everything is designed to help you slow down. The tranquillity of the North wraps itself around you like a soft blanket. No rush, no distractions, just space to breathe. And since the major refurbishment, there’s even more to experience.
Relaxing in and around the water
As soon as you step into the mineral water, everything slows down a notch. Warmth, tranquillity and relaxation come together, and your mind slowly clears. The water is rich in natural minerals such as magnesium, iron and salt, which help your body to relax and recover. Tight muscles? Aching joints? Or simply in need of a break after a busy week? A visit to Thermen will do you good. And even if you’re not suffering from anything, it’s pure enjoyment. The minerals help your body flush out toxins, give you energy and improve blood circulation.
Relax in one of the three brand-new whirlpools or lose yourself in the panoramic pool with views of the countryside. The swimming pool has also been given a new look, with comfortable loungers where you can unwind in the water. Fancy something refreshing? From the brand-new pool bar, you can simply order a drink straight from the pool, without interrupting your moment of relaxation. Stay a while longer and let the day drift by.
New ways to experience warmth
There is also more to experience when it comes to saunas and steam rooms. The sauna area has been completely refurbished and two new wellness facilities have been added. In the multi-sensory ‘Four Elements’ steam room, you’ll embark on a journey through water, fire, air and earth. Heat and steam combine with scent, light and imagery: all your senses are stimulated, whilst your body and mind find complete relaxation. In the new Herbal Sauna, everything revolves around the power of natural herbs. A warm herbal mist fills the room with aromatic scents and, together with the pleasant warmth, creates a soothing experience.
You can also enjoy Scandinavian warmth in the Finnish sauna, relax in the infrared sauna or lose yourself in the Sequoia Sauna, a tree sauna inspired by the majestic sequoia. This way, throughout the day, you can choose exactly what you need: the warmth of the sauna, the water, or a mix of everything.
Oriental ritual with Groningen twist
It is a symbol of the Groningen landscape: the yellow flowering rapeseed fields that form an iconic image in spring. Traditionally, a lot of rapeseed is grown in Groningen, a bright yellow fragrant crop that is especially beautiful in bloom in the months of April and May. Vegetable oil is pressed from the seeds, which is used for biofuel, among other things, but also for the Groningen rapeseed soap. At Thermen Bad Nieuweschans , this pure product is used during the Hamam treatment. Not only is the smell delicious and relaxing, there are also many benefits for the skin: it has a soothing and moisturising effect, as well as providing good care for dry, sensitive and irritated skin. It almost doesn't get any grosser than this. Besides the treatments, there are many other relaxing facilities. For instance, enjoy Scandinavian warmth in the Finnish sauna, relax in the infrared sauna or imagine yourself in the Sequoia Sauna, a tree sauna inspired by the majestic sequoia tree. You can also book additional treatments, such as a wonderful massage or a facial and body treatment.
