Aqualon Therme

What Aqualon Therme does

Aqualon Therme Betriebs GmbH operates a single thermal spa facility in Bad Säckingen, Germany, on the High Rhine near the Swiss border. The facility integrates thermal bath, sauna world, wellness treatments, fitness, health services, and gastronomy into a 365-day-a-year wellness destination. The core product portfolio centers on thermal water pools (Therme), a differentiated sauna world including a Japanese Sauna Village (Japanisches Saunadorf) and a 3-section Saunahaus with professional Aufguss ceremonies and themed event days, plus the Schwarzwald Textilsauna (textile-required sauna). Wellness revenue is generated through massages, peelings, relaxation baths, and bundled wellness packages starting at €44. An integrated fitness studio operates with recurring memberships, courses, aqua fitness, personal training, and Member Spa access. Health services include on-site physiotherapy, podology, nutritional counseling, and medical practices. The facility is complemented by an on-site bistro and an online shop (shop.aqualon.de) supporting ticket sales, wellness reservations, gift vouchers, and the Aqualon Wertkarte prepaid value card.

Revenue is generated through a mix of per-visit tickets (Therme from €16, Sauna from €25), recurring fitness memberships, seasonal subscriptions (Sommer Abo 2026 at €239 for 10 weeks of unlimited multi-area access), gift vouchers, and on-site F&B. The go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer, targeting individual wellness seekers, health-conscious residents, sauna enthusiasts, and fitness participants from the Hochrhein region and neighboring Switzerland. Distribution combines walk-in sales at the facility with online ticketing and a regional partnership with Waldshut-Tiengen Transport Association (WTV) offering bundled transit-and-entry tickets from May 2026. Content marketing is delivered through a blog, newsletter, and standard social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). The business is privately held with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no funding rounds disclosed; Managing Director Alexander Guhl leads the GmbH.
