The H2O offers its guests a spacious water and sauna area. Spanning over 22,000 square meters, every visitor will find a wide variety of options to suit their personal tastes: whether it’s competitive swimming, fun and games in the leisure pool, pure relaxation in the beautiful sauna area with its unique Nordic sauna garden, or wellness in the Refugium wellness world—H2O offers every guest a personalized wellness program.
Please check the detailed opening hours, as the sauna area, for example, is open longer than the leisure pool!
Sauna Area
A total of 10 different saunas, a steam room, and a snow room cover the entire spectrum of sweating across more than 5,000 square meters, both indoors and in the spacious sauna garden.
Just as important as sweating is relaxing between sauna sessions. The spacious sauna garden offers a wide variety of options for this: Swimming pools and a whirlpool are available both indoors and outdoors, as are a variety of relaxation areas, such as a relaxation house with heated loungers (39°) and meditative relaxation music, or the relaxation house designed in a Finnish country style. And the sauna’s on-site dining area ensures guests are well taken care of with food and beverages.
Recreational Pool
Fun and games across more than 3,500 square meters, including 1,400 square meters of water alone: that’s what the H2O Water Park has to offer. Two slides, measuring 146 meters and 110 meters in length respectively, provide plenty of action; the wave pool creates a real surf-like experience; and the rapids and wave channel offer thrilling water fun. Guests can relax in the warm whirlpool or enjoy one of the numerous water massages. Surrounding the individual pools, visitors have access to a large number of lounge chairs, which invite them to relax and unwind beneath the many palm trees and green plants.
H2O offers all sporty visitors a 25-meter lap pool, a 1-meter and 3-meter diving tower, and a heated 25-meter outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is also conveniently accessible from inside via a swimming channel, regardless of the weather.
Tabokiri Jungle Island
This unique attraction consists of a 400-square-meter jungle featuring water slides, a diving grotto complete with animated fish and a coral reef, an old wooden sailboat, a Mayan temple, water cannons, and many other jungle attractions.
Refugium
The Refugium is the wellness oasis at H2O. If you want to escape the stress of everyday life and treat yourself to something truly special, the wellness area is the perfect place for you. There, you can let your mind wander and truly unwind. The Refugium’s wellness offerings range from classic massages to full-day packages. In tastefully designed rooms, located directly above the H2O sauna area, pure relaxation awaits.
