Bad Nieuweschans Spa, in the Dutch province of Groningen, draws on sodium-chloride water heated to 38°C. The facility offers indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, a hammam and massage treatments, making it a relaxing stop in the north of the Netherlands.

Insider tip — Bad Nieuweschans in the far eastern corner of Groningen province draws from deep Permian salt deposits underlying the flat Dutch-German border polder landscape, producing concentrated sodium-chloride brines that have attracted bathers since the 19th century when the town was a fashionable border spa. The restored historic bathhouse complex retains a quiet, unhurried character distinct from large commercial therme chains, and the fortified border town with its star-shaped earthwork ramparts adds cultural interest within easy walking distance.
