My unforgettable private spa experience in Belgium

I love discovering new places – whether it's a culinary excursion or a relaxing weekend. This time, I headed to Belgium, where I treated myself to a private spa suite with whirlpool and sauna for the first time. My goal? To switch off from everyday life and relax in an exclusive, tranquil environment. In this article, I'll tell you how I came up with the idea of booking a private spa in Belgium , what I expected there, and why I would recommend this experience to anyone.

I was originally thinking about traditional wellness hotels until a friend recommended "Private Spas in Belgium." Instead of staying in a large resort with lots of guests, I wanted complete privacy. Belgium seemed perfect to me: It's easily accessible from many countries, offers beautiful scenery (especially in the Ardennes), and has a strong sense of enjoyment. It's just the right mix of peace, cuisine, and a pleasant environment.

My search criteria:

• True privacy: A place where I can be undisturbed, alone or with a partner.
• Private spa: Private spa suite with whirlpool and sauna, so I'm not dependent on shared hotel facilities and wellness areas.
• Location close to nature: Ideally somewhere where I can take a walk in between.

During my research, I discovered that there are several regions in Belgium that are ideal for an exclusive wellness retreat:

1. The Ardennes: Dense forests, rivers, and hills provide a perfect backdrop for those seeking relaxation. Here, you can often find vacation homes with sauna and whirlpool surrounded by nature – ideal if you enjoy walks or hikes and want to jump straight into the warm water afterward.
2. Around the town of Spa: The town of Spa in the province of Liège is historically known for its thermal baths. There are numerous private accommodations in the surrounding area with their own wellness areas, allowing you to enjoy the world-famous thermal waters in a suitable setting.
3. Limburg Region: Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the well-developed cycling routes in Limburg. Most private wellness suites here offer a sauna as well as a whirlpool or infrared cabin to relax your muscles after a ride.
4. Near the coast: Would you like to combine wellness with a stroll on the beach? Along the Belgian North Sea coast, there are also exclusive holiday homes that offer not only the sound of the sea but also a sauna and whirlpool.

No matter which region you choose, make sure you book a private spa suite with a whirlpool and sauna to enjoy your very own oasis of well-being.

Booking was easier than I expected. On casapilot, I found various offers for private wellness in Belgium. I quickly had my favorites: modern suites with glass fronts, chalets with cozy fireplaces, and terraced houses with expansive views. Ultimately, I chose a suite that, in addition to a panoramic sauna, also had a heated outdoor whirlpool – exactly the combination I'd dreamed of.

The journey was easy by car ,and as soon as we arrived in Belgium, I immediately began to feel the relaxing atmosphere. The small town itself was tranquil – no city noise, just the relaxed hustle and bustle of a weekend in the countryside.

When I entered the house, I was immediately impressed. Bright rooms, an open kitchen, and then—the highlight—my own wellness area. A private spa suite with a whirlpool, sauna, and direct access to a small terrace. The hosts had provided a bottle of sparkling wine and towels. A quick tour showed that everything was designed for privacy. I could retreat here as if it were my temporary home.

First impressions:

• Whirlpool area: Spacious, heated, with a view of the greenery.
• Sauna: A chic glass structure with enough space for 2-4 people.
• Living-dining area: Comfortably furnished, ideal for a spontaneous dinner or a game night.

This setting practically screamed: "Calm down, unwind, and enjoy every moment."

After unpacking, I only wanted one thing: to try out the outdoor whirlpool. So, I put on my bathrobe, grabbed a glass of water, and jumped into the hot bubbles. Here's a little insight into my personal wellness routine:

1. Sauna Session: A quick warm-up in the sauna to loosen up my muscles. I loved the scent of the wood paneling and the pleasant warmth – without any strangers or loud conversations.
2. Cooling off outdoors: After the sauna session, I took a quick breath of fresh air on the terrace. The cool breeze on my skin felt so good!
3. Deluxe Whirlpool: Afterward, I enjoyed the outdoor whirlpool experience. Especially after a sauna session, I found the combined warmth of the water and air temperature wonderfully relaxing.
4. Relaxation break with a book: To avoid falling into the "more is more" pattern, I took frequent breaks. A good book or simply enjoying the view of nature – perfect for truly relaxing.

Since I was prepared for a wellness retreat in Belgium, I naturally wanted to try some of the local cuisine. Luckily, I had gathered a few recommendations beforehand:

• Breakfast service: Through casapilot, you have the option of booking a breakfast service . Fresh rolls, cold cuts, and more were delivered directly to our accommodation – so my morning started without any stress and with the aroma of freshly baked bread.
• Local products: Belgium is known for its chocolate, beers, and waffles. So we treated ourselves to a little sweet treat in the afternoon and rounded off the day with a Belgian beer in the evening – all in the comfort of our private lounge area.
• Restaurant tip: For dinner on the second day, we decided to try a small restaurant in the neighboring town. Belgian cuisine rarely disappoints, and that was no exception: delicious food, friendly service, and no long walks back to the suite.

To be honest, I had planned to possibly take a trip to the nearest town. But the temptation to relax in the hot tub was greater. For nature lovers, the Belgian countryside offers many hiking opportunities. But even if you just plan a short walk and then return to the private wellness suite, it already feels like a perfect day.

We decided on a short walk in the forest to clear our heads and then slip back into our warm bathrobes. It was the ideal balance between "a little exercise" and "maximum relaxation."

Admittedly, before my trip, I had no idea how much a private spa in Belgium had to offer. The combination of short travel distances, warm hospitality, and an exclusive wellness feeling won me over. A private spa suite with a whirlpool and sauna is simply perfect if you want to be completely alone – alone, as a couple, or with your best friend.

• Slow down: A few days away from everyday life, without the hustle and bustle of a hotel.
• Exclusivity: Everything is reserved just for you, which takes relaxation to a new level.
• Culinary Delights: Belgium has much more to offer than chocolate (although that's great too, of course!).

If you're looking for true peace and private wellness, you should definitely book a suite with a sauna and whirlpool in Belgium. I highly recommend it – for me, it was one of the most pleasant breaks I've ever had. Maybe next time I'll reserve a longer stay to see more of the surrounding area. But honestly, the way it was, it was almost perfect for me.
