Sauna and wellness in swimwear

 

Did you know that besides the traditional nude area, we also have a spacious swimwear area with various saunas, Jacuzzis, a swimming pool, a steam bath and daily Aufguss sessions? Everything you need for a relaxing sauna and wellness experience, your way. Because we want everyone to feel welcome and above all, we want everybody to be able to enjoy the health benefits of heat, rest and relaxation! By the way, wellness in our swimwear area really does live up to its name Sabai because this means ‘no worries’ or ‘a good feeling’. Fancy some sabai? We are open daily! 

Sauna bathing in swimwear: these are the saunas for you  

In our swimwear area, you will find several saunas, each with its own distinct character. The Terracotta sauna is about 70°C on average and its terracotta tiles and intimate lighting create a cosy, calming atmosphere. What’s more, you also benefit from infrared therapy here, which helps relax your muscles and relieve any muscle aches and pains. 

The Sauna Mediterrana is the biggest sauna in this area, with an average temperature of 75°C. Its glass wall provides a stunning view of the Moorish inner courtyard and it is the perfect place for an Aufguss session.  

And finally, our infrared sauna. Its infrared heat penetrates deep into your muscles, promoting more intense relaxation. This sauna also stimulates your metabolism and helps clear waste products.  

Wellness baths and pools in swimwear 

In our swimwear area, you will find a steam bath where the warm, moist air promotes skin health and helps you breathe more easily. 

You can also enjoy a floatation session in this area in our floatation pool with salt water (like the Dead Sea) in which you will float effortlessly. This special experience provides deep relaxation. 

Combine your sauna visit with some time in our unique Jacuzzi, where the warm water and gentle bubbles help relax your muscles and take away any tension. 

Of course, we also have a heated swimming pool in this area, perfect for blissfully drifting in the water. 

Daily experiences  

At Thermae Grimbergen, we are all about creating special experiences. Every day, our dedicated Aufguss team go all out to provide you unforgettable wellness moments. As a sauna guest at our centre, you can take part in all kinds of activities for free: from refreshing scrubbing sessions and relaxing halotherapy to dynamic Aufguss sessions. And yes, all this is available in the swimwear area too. 

Every day, there is an Aufguss session in the Mediterrana sauna and a scrubbing session in the steam bath. You can also relax during the relaxation session with Tibetan singing bowls in the relaxation area in the garden, right by the bar and the swimming lake and/or enjoy the healing power of halotherapy in our special salt room.

If you are visiting us on Wednesdays, you are in for an extra special treat! That’s when our Zen master visits us. He organises four additional sessions, our Mindful Moments. Every one of these sessions is a truly unique wellness moment that teaches you a new way of relaxation. Click here for more info about these Mindful Moments. 

Swimwear dress code  

For hygiene reasons, loose-fitting swim shorts are an absolute no-no. Men are only allowed to wear tight-fitting swim briefs or trunks. Women have the choice of a swimsuit or bikini. Swim dresses, strings and burkinis are not allowed. 

Forgot your swimwear or does your swimwear not meet our dress code requirements? Not to worry, you can always hire some at reception. 

Also, don’t forget to bring two large towels: one to dry yourself with at the end of the day and one to use in the sauna. A bathrobe and spa slippers are also essential. Didn’t bring these either? These, too, can be hired at reception.
