Inspired by Nordic relaxation spots, four friends launched the Kuuma sauna space in Amsterdam Noord and Marineterrein. A sauna trip can be enjoyed alone or with friends for the extra company as you soak up the sweeping waterside views. It is a relaxing experience that will help you escape the city noise without going too far out.

Float your way to relaxation by spending a blissful session in Koan Float’s floating pods. The warm water and Epsom salts bring your body into a meditative state, easing stress, muscle tension and pain. When you feel sufficiently relaxed, wrap yourself in a luxurious bath towel and wash your worries away with Rituals shower products.

What better way to let go of your worries than to let them evaporate as the sauna steam courses around you? Sauna Deco is ideally suited to relieve stress. Step into the Finnish or Infrared sauna or take a steam bath before relaxing in the patio garden or dipping in the cold-water pool. There are plenty of wellness procedures, from a shiatsu massage to a revitalising foot reflexology massage.
