Wellness cottages in the Veluwe

The combination of a warm sauna and a massaging jacuzzi is for many people the reason to move to the Veluwe. Here you often choose accommodations where these facilities are completely private, so you do not have to take into account other guests. Many of these cottages with jacuzzi and sauna are hidden among the trees, so you look directly into the forest from the warm water. It's smart to pay attention to the type of sauna; a traditional Finnish sauna often gets hotter than an infrared cabin, which is ideal for relaxing your muscles after a long walk.

Staying in the immediate vicinity of National Park De Hoge Veluwe gives your holiday a unique character. You will find a diverse range of holiday homes around this nature reserve, from modern bungalows on small-scale parks to detached houses hidden deep in the greenery. The great advantage of this location is that you often walk straight from your own garden into the vast moors or dense forests. These houses serve as the perfect base to catch the famous white bikes or visit the Kröller-Müller Museum. You can spend exceptional nights in the Veluwe in homes that make clever use of their natural surroundings, with large windows that ensure you enjoy the view of the trees inside as well.

If you want to combine the coziness of a village with the tranquility of the forest, there are a few places that stand out. For example, you will find a wonderful range of wellness cottages in and around Hoenderloo, where you are right at the entrance to the national park. Holiday homes in Otterlo are also very popular for those who love art and nature, thanks to their proximity to the Kröller-Müller Museum. These villages have good restaurants and small boutiques, so you never have to drive far for a good lunch or a cup of coffee between your wellness sessions.

During your search, you often come across the terms hot tub and jacuzzi. A hot tub is usually made of wood and fired with a wood stove. This takes some preparation and time, but the experience and smell of burning wood are unsurpassed. A whirlpool or Jacuzzi runs on electricity and has powerful jets that massage your muscles. The big advantage is that the water is always at the right temperature as soon as you open the valve. On the Veluwe you see more and more the authentic hot tub because it fits perfectly with the rustic atmosphere of the forest.

For couples, there is little as nice as a place where you can turn off the phone and really have time for each other. Many accommodations on the Veluwe respond to this with extras such as a rain shower for two or a crackling fireplace by the bathtub. You'll also often find cozy pods or tiny houses that are specially equipped for two people. These locations offer maximum privacy and are often on small-scale sites where the atmosphere is convivial and quiet, away from the crowds.

If you want to be sure that the place meets your expectations, always check the exact layout of the outdoor space. When renting a nature cottage in the Veluwe, it is nice to know if the sauna or bath is in a shielded part of the garden. Also check carefully what extra services the owner offers, such as the presence of bathrobes or towels. This saves luggage and ensures that you can use the facilities immediately upon arrival.

The Veluwe is a destination that has a different charm every season. In autumn and winter you will enjoy the extra warmth of the sauna while the outside air is cold and crisp. In spring you can see the forest come to life while having breakfast on your terrace in the early morning sun. Summer is ideal for biking or hiking during the day and spending evenings outdoors by a fire pit. Because wellness facilities are often covered or sheltered, you can use them as usual even when it rains or snows.
