Autumn is our favourite season for a sauna visit. The leaves turn every shade of orange and brown, the air is wonderfully fresh and even the gentle patter of rain against the windows feels charming when you’re cosy and warm inside.
It’s the perfect time to plan a day to discover our unique saunas, float around in the pool and, above all, stretch out and relax. A few hours or a whole day? You set the pace.
Thermae Grimbergen is set in green surroundings close to Brussels. Its extensive natural grounds give this wellness centre a character all of its own.
Indoors and outdoors, you’ll discover a variety of saunas, wellness pools and peaceful spots to relax. The surroundings are especially atmospheric in autumn. Nature changes colour as you alternate between soothing warmth and the fresh outdoor air.
Thermae.com is also a Belgian family business with two wellness centres in Flemish Brabant. As well as Thermae Grimbergen, you can visit Thermae Boetfort, where you can enjoy wellness on a centuries-old castle estate.
Two locations, two very different settings. At Grimbergen, greenery and nature take centre stage.
At Thermae Grimbergen, you can choose between nude wellness and wellness in swimwear seven days a week. So there’s no need to wait for a specific swimwear day.
The wellness centre has two separate areas:
Aquarius: here, you enjoy the saunas and wellness facilities without swimwear.
Sabai: here, you wear swimwear in the saunas and wellness pools.
This way, everyone can enjoy wellness in the way that feels most comfortable to them.
The autumn half-term is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a little something extra.
At Thermae Grimbergen, you can combine your sauna day with a range of massages and treatments. Choose a relaxing body massage, for example, or a facial that lets you simply unwind and be thoroughly pampered.

You don’t need much for a day of wellness. Choosing the swimwear area? Take a look at our dress code before your visit, so you can be sure to bring the right swimwear.
You’ll also need a bathrobe, towel and pool slippers. It’s up to you whether you bring your own from home or hire them from us. Have you booked a package? Always check exactly what is included.
A good book is always a lovely addition too. And after the final sauna, we like to apply our favourite day cream and body lotion.
