Curious about everything the wellness center has to offer?
No, you don’t need to be an Athena member to visit the wellness area. However, Athena members do receive a discount on day entry fees.
Check here for the prices of day tickets to the wellness.
Our wellness is open year-round. There’s nothing better than spending a winter evening in the wellness area.
During a sauna pouring session, water—often mixed with essential oils—is poured over the hot sauna stones. This raises the humidity and makes the heat feel more intense for a short time. The sauna master then wafts the warm air with a towel through the sauna, enhancing your heat experience.
On Thursdays, tranquility is the focus in our sauna. During silent sauna sessions, we ask guests not to talk and to keep noise to a minimum. This creates a calm atmosphere where you can fully relax and mindfully enjoy the heat.
The silent sauna is designed for guests who prefer a peaceful sauna experience. Of course, the regular sauna rules still apply.
Book your ticket online and come to Athena Ossendrecht. Park your car and follow the arrows to the wellness area. Leave your clothes and belongings in the changing room. Check in with the wellness attendant, take a shower, and let the relaxation begin.
You can find the sauna infusion times on-site. Fancy a drink in between? Join us at the Bar. Enjoy at your own pace.
Bring these items for a relaxing wellness day:
- A large sauna towel: required to sit or lie on fully in the sauna.
