The Netherlands is one of Europe’s most naturist-friendly destinations — and nowhere is that more evident than in its thriving spa culture. Across the country, from Amsterdam to Maastricht, you will find 69 naturist spas where nudity is the norm, not the exception. These are not niche venues. They are mainstream, well-equipped wellness complexes featuring Finnish saunas, hammams, thermal pools, whirlpools, steam rooms, and relaxation gardens — all enjoyed without swimwear.
What to Know Before You Visit a Dutch Naturist Spa
Dutch nude spas are rooted in a practical, health-focused philosophy. The absence of swimwear is considered more hygienic for sauna environments and reflects a long Scandinavian and German spa tradition that the Netherlands has wholeheartedly adopted. Nudity here is entirely non-sexual — it is about equality, comfort, and wellness.
Two things to be aware of:
- Badkledingdagen (swimsuit days): Some spas periodically designate a day when swimwear is required. These are less common but worth checking before you book if you prefer going nude.
- Damesdagen / Juffrouwendagen (ladies-only days): A number of spas reserve certain days exclusively for women. There are no equivalent men-only days.
