Outdoor saunas in the Netherlands

Amsterdam, Netherlands

A floating sauna and a barrel sauna on the water in Amsterdam Noord. Guided Saunagus sessions run in three rounds, led by a Sauna Master. More structured than the drop-in community saunas: you are here for the ritual, not a quick sweat.

Zandvoort, Netherlands

Billies Sauna sits directly on Zandvoort's beachfront, with Finnish and steam rooms facing the sea. The North Sea handles the cold side of the cycle. It draws locals as much as beach visitors.

Kamperland, Netherlands

BLUE Wellnessresort Zeeland is a luxury wellness resort on the North Beveland coast offering 20 sauna and wellness facilities, including a kelo sauna and relax sauna. The resort features a 22-metre outdoor pool, extensive relaxation gardens, beauty centre, and on-site restaurant. Day visitors and overnight guests can enjoy the seaside setting and various sauna experiences.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

A Nordic community sauna on the Westerdok waterfront, with views across the IJ. Sessions run 75 minutes and follow the classic Finnish rhythm of heat, cold plunge, rest. Self-service and no-frills, built around the communal sweat.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Two saunas, Bjørk and Matsu, on the old naval yard basin. Open-water swimming in the Marineterrein dock is steps away. This is Kuuma's flagship central Amsterdam location.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Behind FC Hyena on the NDSM side, this Kuuma faces east across the IJ. The sunrise slots are the point. Classic Kuuma setup: heat, cold water, a bench, and the skyline across the harbour.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

The lakeside Kuuma, next to Buiten beach café on the Sloterplas. Swim straight out of the sauna into the lake: the cooldown here is the real thing, not a plunge tub. Quieter and more suburban than the central locations.

Den Bosch, Netherlands

On the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal at Stadscamping Overboord, this Kuuma pairs the classic 75-minute Nordic session with open-water swimming in the city's central canal. The most peaceful stop on the Kuuma map.

Nijmegen, Netherlands

A beach-side Kuuma on the north bank of the Waal, next to café Moeke. Sauna, swim in the river, repeat. The view back across to Nijmegen's old town is the reason to come at sunset.

Nijmegen, Netherlands

On the old industrial NYMA site beside café Rex, overlooking the Waal. Same 75-minute sauna format as the rest of Kuuma. The draw here is the post-industrial setting and the riverfront view.

Rotterdam, Netherlands

On the Schiehaven next to cultural hub Oase, a quieter Rotterdam option with harbour views. Same Kuuma rhythm of 75-minute self-service sessions. Good combined with a walk round the M4H creative district.

Rotterdam, Netherlands

Next to Fenix Food Factory on the Rijnhaven, right across from Hotel New York. Views straight down the harbour towards the Erasmus Bridge. Pair it with dinner at Fenix afterwards: that is the intended format here.

Scheveningen, Netherlands

Right on the beach at Hart Beach, facing west into the North Sea. The sunset slots sell out first for a reason. Sauna, sea plunge, sand, repeat.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Badhus is a community-focused bathhouse at De Ceuvel, an ecological arts space in Amsterdam. The sauna emphasizes inclusive, affordable access and connection to nature and community. It's part of a broader mission to make wellness welcoming to everyone.

Lunteren, Netherlands

Emst, Netherlands

Veluwse Bron is a family-friendly thermal bath and sauna complex near Emst. Finnish, steam and infrared saunas sit alongside heated pools. The outdoor setting and relaxed pace make it a day-visit place rather than a ritual one.
