Going to the sauna during the autumn half-term

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: wellness surrounded by greenery 

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.

This way, everyone can enjoy wellness in the way that feels most comfortable to them.
