Hammam saunas in Antwerp, Belgium
Sportoase Veldstraat
Sportoase Veldstraat is a city swimming and bathing centre in central Antwerp with a 33-metre pool, a bathhouse and a hammam. The bathhouse moves between warm and cold baths: a jacuzzi, herbal baths, a hot bath up to 42°C, a cold plunge, a small pool and a rest room, booked in time slots. There is no dry sauna. Both areas admit visitors from 16, and Monday and Thursday are women-only in the bathhouse. The bathhouse opens weekdays 13:00–22:00 and weekends 12:00–18:00.
August Wellness
August Wellness is the private spa of Hotel August, a former Augustinian convent in Antwerp's Groen Kwartier redesigned by Vincent Van Duysen. Each booking gets the whole wellness area to itself: a sauna and a hammam, ice scrubs, an outdoor shower on the sunken Cour Anglaise and a 10-metre outdoor swimming pond. It is open to non-hotel guests by reservation, daily 9:00–22:00; two hours for one or two people cost €165.
Hotel Julien Spa
Hotel Julien Spa sits in the vaulted cellars of a boutique hotel on Korte Nieuwstraat in Antwerp's old town. It has a hammam, a sauna, a hot-stone bench and a rain shower with a waterfall, and only one party is admitted at a time, so a booking gives private use of the space. The spa is open to locals as well as hotel guests, daily from 9:00 to 22:00 by advance reservation; spa access is booked separately from rooms and treatments.
