Best wellness studios for atmosphere and vibes in the Netherlands

The Netherlands has developed a wellness studio scene that takes the environment seriously, and nowhere more so than in Amsterdam. A sauna and ice bath studio on the water in Noord where you genuinely forget you're in the middle of the city. A floating sauna on the IJ alongside a fireplace and outdoor cold bath. A Thai massage practice with calming smells and an aesthetic described as zen and well-curated luxurious. And a hair salon in the heart of the Reguliersdwarsstraat where the vibes are something else entirely. This guide covers the top 10 wellness studios across the Netherlands ranked for atmosphere and space quality, drawing on 7,804 verified member reviews from January 2025 through February 2026.
