Thermen Bad Nieuweschans

What Thermen Bad Nieuweschans does

Thermen Bad Nieuweschans B.V. operates a four-star wellness resort in Bad Nieuweschans, Groningen province in the northeast of the Netherlands, near the German border. The site combines thermal baths (mineral-rich water from an on-site spring, purified via salt electrolysis rather than chlorine), seven-plus sauna types (Finnish, Ho Sauna, Aardesauna, Noorderlichtsauna, Kelo, infrared), steam rooms, multiple indoor and outdoor pools, an outdoor Badjassenpark (bathrobe garden), and relaxation lounges. The resort also operates a four-star hotel with adjacent spa-accessible rooms, three on-site restaurants (Restaurant Norell — fine-dining Nordic cuisine; Brasserie Bubbels; Sauna Lodge), and a beauty center offering massages, facials, and body treatments in partnership with the German skincare brand Babor.

The company serves individual wellness and sauna seekers, couples on romantic getaways, hotel staycationers (including cross-border visitors from northern Germany), first-time visitors via its Badkledingdagen (swimwear days on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and select Fridays April–October), personal-development retreat participants, and expectant mothers. Revenue is generated through unit-priced day entries (€32–€45), treatment bundles (€89–€135+), paid Wellness-Retreats, hotel arrangements (from €118 p.p.p.n.), three F&B outlets, and gift vouchers via the Thermen Resorts webshop. Distribution is fully direct-to-consumer: an owned website, the Thermen Resorts App (iOS/Android), and on-site reception, with no third-party OTA dependence. The Thermenfans loyalty program and unified booking platform span all seven Thermen Resorts locations (Bad Nieuweschans, Berendonck, Bussloo, Maarssen, Maastricht, Soesterberg, Thermen Retreats). The operation is fully electric (100% electric saunas, gas-free), powered partly by 1,600 on-site solar panels generating ~650,000 kWh/year, and holds Green Key Gold and Duurzaam Gastvrij Gold certifications for 2026. General Director of the parent Thermen Resorts group is Fabian Dolman.
