Holiday home with wellness in the Campine

Why the Campine for a wellness stay?

The Campine is the quietest region in Flanders, and that quiet is precisely what makes a wellness stay so pleasant. No crowds, no traffic jams, but woods, heath and ponds as far as the eye can see. Hoge Kempen National Park, the largest in the country, lies a stone's throw away, with walking and cycling routes through a vast nature reserve. After a day outdoors, a sauna or hot tub is the perfect finish. The Campine is also centrally placed, an hour from Antwerp, Hasselt and Eindhoven.

What do you find in a wellness home in the Campine?

Wellness homes in the Campine have their own sauna, jacuzzi or hot tub, for your use only during your stay. The sauna is sometimes indoors in a separate room, the hot tub often outside on a terrace or in the garden overlooking the greenery. Some homes offer extras such as an infrared cabin, a steam room or a heated pool. The owner explains on arrival how to operate and maintain the wellness area. Check whether heating the hot tub is included, especially in winter.

Tips for a wellness stay in the Campine

• Book a home with the hot tub outside for the full effect. Steaming in the warm water with a view of the pines is the essence of wellness in the Campine.
• Combine the wellness with a day in Hoge Kempen National Park. A walk in the woods followed by a sauna is an ideal combination.
• Ask about the heating time of the sauna and hot tub. Some appliances need a few hours, so start them in good time.
• Bring your own bathrobe and slippers. Not every home provides them, and the step from the warm hot tub to indoors is cold in winter.
