Apeldoorn Infrared Sauna Holiday Home: Unwind & Rejuvenate!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Apeldoorn Infrared Sauna Holiday Home: Unwind & Rejuvenate! Prepare for a review that's less sterile brochure and more "your quirky aunt sharing her vacation secrets." Let's get real, shall we?
First Impressions & The Quest for Relaxation (aka, Finding the Damn Door)
Okay, so Apeldoorn. Sounds like a name from a Tolkien novel, right? The moment I saw the words "Infrared Sauna Holiday Home," I was sold. My therapist told me I needed relaxation. This place promised nirvana. Finding the actual holiday home? That's a whole other story. (Pro tip: Bring your GPS. Seriously. My inner compass is about as reliable as a politician's promise). But, eventually, success! And, wow. Just wow.
Accessibility: Blessedly Inclusive
Now, I'm not using a wheelchair, but I appreciate a place that gets accessibility. And Apeldoorn seems to. I saw facilities for disabled guests, and that, in my book, is a massive win. Everything seemed thought out. Makes me feel good knowing everyone can enjoy this place.
Unwinding & Rejuvenation: The Real Deal
Sauna, Spa, and Everything Spa: Now, this is where Apeldoorn truly delivers. The infrared sauna? Amazing. I spent a solid hour sweating out my sins and the stress of my commute. Afterward, I stumbled (dramatically, I might add) into the Pool with a View. Let me tell you, floating in warm water while gazing at… well, whatever the view was (it was a little foggy that day, okay?), was pure bliss. I'm not sure I've ever felt so relaxed. They got a spa too. So, you get all things spa!
The Massage: Okay, FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm a massage snob. I've had massages that have made me weep with joy (and some that have almost made me weep in pain). This massage? Excellent. The therapist was a master of their craft, kneading out every knot with expert precision. I floated out of there… almost literally.
Fitness Center: I'm not going to lie. I meant to use the fitness center. But after the sauna, the pool, and the massage… well, my motivation levels were hovering somewhere near zero. I did peek in. It looked well-equipped, though. Maybe next time. Maybe.
Body Wrap/Scrub, Foot Bath, Steamroom: They have them all. Seriously. It's a relaxation factory!
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe and Sound… Mostly
The place felt clean, and the staff seemed to be following all the protocols. They had all the sanitizing stuff, hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff was masked up. I personally love this. It's very reassuring. I appreciate the effort. Makes me feel more safe, so I can embrace relaxation!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food!
Restaurants, and Bars, Oh My! There's a range of restaurant options! I went for the buffet, which had everything from an Asian breakfast to Western cuisine. They also had a poolside bar and a bar in the main areas. I always love a cocktail, so I went for that! They also had a coffee shop, which I appreciated.
Breakfast in Room, Room Service 24-Hour! I'm a sucker for breakfast in bed, so this was a bonus.
Snack Bar: Crucial. Always crucial.
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier
- Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Everywhere! Seriously. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Bless you, Apeldoorn.
- Concierge: They were helpful and friendly.
- Laundry Service: I needed to do laundry and it was simple and quick.
- Daily Housekeeping: Clean rooms, clean life!
- Business Facilities Very useful.
For the Kids:
- Family/Child Friendly: Although I didn't travel with kids, I saw facilities for families and could see that the place is very welcoming. They also had Babysitting Service!
Available in All Rooms (The Nitty Gritty):
- Air Conditioning: A MUST.
- Coffee/Tea Maker: Crucial for a caffeine addict like myself.
- Mini bar: Yes! The fridge in my room was full of goodies.
- Free Wi-Fi: See above. Praise the Wi-Fi gods!
- Bathrobes and Slippers: Makes you feel like a pampered celebrity from the moment you walk in the room.
- Additional Toilet: So convenient.
- Soundproofing: A godsend. My neighbors were… vocal the first night, but I didn't hear a thing.
- Blackout Curtains: Essential for sleeping in, especially after a day of spa-ing.
Getting Around:
- Car Park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: The parking was great.
- Taxi service: Easy to navigate around.
- Airport transfer: For those who wish to have a hassle-free travel.
The Downside (Because Nothing's Perfect!)
Look, no place is flawless. The view from my window wasn't exactly the Eiffel Tower. In fact… it overlooked a parking lot. That bit was disappointing. And the pool, though lovely, could have been a smidge warmer.
My Anecdote: A Sauna-Induced Epiphany (and a Near-Disaster)
I'm not kidding, the infrared sauna was the highlight. I went in there assuming I'd last maybe 10 minutes, but I got lost in the heat. I started thinking about life, the universe, and whether I remembered to put the bins out. Then, I almost, almost, fell asleep. Nearly slid right off the bench! Face-first! Luckily, a sudden sneeze jolted me awake. Let's just say, I left that sauna feeling… cleansed. It was an experience!
The Verdict: Should You Book Apeldoorn Infrared Sauna Holiday Home?
YES! Absolutely, unequivocally, YES! If you need to unwind, de-stress, and just breathe, this is your place. Maybe bring a better sense of direction. And maybe a friend to giggle with during the massages. Seriously, go. You deserve it.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream West Beach Retreat Awaits (Darss, Germany)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your sterile, perfectly-organized itinerary. This is my potential descent into holiday home bliss (or, you know, maybe a slight breakdown) in Apeldoorn, complete with infrared sauna. Let's see where the road (and the sauna) takes us…
The Apeldoorn Apocalypse (or, That Time I Tried to Relax)
Day 1: Arrival & the Promise of Heat
- 14:00 - 15:00: The Great Arrival & Key-Hunt Saga. Right, first things first: the damn keys. Hopefully, I've got the right code (I’m terrible with codes) and can actually find the holiday home. Google Maps, don't fail me now! Pictures online show a charming, little place… I’m praying the reality lives up to the Instagram hype (judging from my past experiences it will not). The kids will be screaming, the dog will be shedding, and I'll be secretly composing an email to my boss asking for a longer vacation. Dear Boss, I am in desperate need of vitamin D and sanity.
- 15:00 - 16:30: Unpacking Chaos & Territory Marking. Dump the bags, find the Wi-Fi password (essential!), and battle the kids for the best bedroom. The dog, bless his hairy heart, will sniff EVERYTHING. I'll try to establish a "no jumping on the furniture" rule that will last approximately 20 minutes. Then, the real unpacking begins. Where does everything go?! It's like Tetris, only with more socks and more existential dread.
- 16:30 - 18:00: The First Infrared Sauna Encounter. (Dramatic Music) Okay, here we go. The reason I booked this place: the infrared sauna! I’ve never used one. I’m picturing myself emerging, glowing, years younger, and smelling faintly of lavender. (I have lavender oil ready. Don't judge.) I'll tentatively read the instructions (if I can find them – holiday home instruction manuals are notoriously elusive) and then… sit. And sweat. And possibly panic slightly. What if I lock myself in? What if I burst into flames? Deep breaths. This is self-care, people. This is what I supposedly deserve.
- 18:00 - Whenever: Dinner Disaster and Evening Amusements. The plan is to buy groceries earlier. The reality is that I’ll be wandering aimlessly around a grocery store, overwhelmed by Dutch cheese and a language I barely understand. We'll probably end up eating something involving bread, cheese, and desperation. After that, depending on the kids' mood (and mine), we'll try to… something. Maybe read a book. Watch a movie. Argue about the volume level of the TV. Pray for sleep.
Day 2: Venture into the Veluwe & Sauna Round Two - Maybe Not!
- 09:00 - 10:00: Wake up in the middle of the night (again) and have a cup of coffe I hate my body clock I can’t even sleep during holidays.
- 10:00 - 13:00: Veluwe National Park – The Great Outdoors (Probably). The Veluwe! Apparently, it's beautiful. We'll try to walk, cycle and enjoy nature and fresh air. Emphasis on try. I'm envisioning a scenic hike, maybe spotting a deer or two. What I'm realistically expecting is: whiny children. Mud. And a desperate search for a public toilet. The dog will, without a doubt, find something utterly disgusting to roll in. I'll have to remember to charge my phone beforehand.
- 13:00 - 14:00: Picnic of… Mystery Meat? Pack a picnic. Bring a blanket. Hope the wind doesn't steal all the sandwich ingredients. Consider the possibility of a wasp attack. Also, did I mention I'll have to pack everything?
- 14:00 - 16:00: Bicycle adventures(If the kids are interested) We also have bicycles, if they want to use them.
- 16:00 - 17:00: Sauna Re-entry - The Reckoning (and the Relaxation) Okay, sauna time. Round two. This time, I'll try to embrace the heat, the sweat, the potential for enlightenment. I’ll turn off my mind. Let go of all my worries. I'll try to be zen. I’ll also leave a water bottle and a towel within easy reach, because I am not actually a superhuman. The fear of being locked in will still linger, just to make things more interesting.
- 17:00 - whenever: The Evening Routine. Dinner (hopefully less awful than last night’s). More TV. More arguing. Bedtime battles. Is it possible that the dog will sleep peacefully? Doubtful.
Day 3: Apeldoorn Adventures & Pre-Departure Panic
- 09:00 - 11:00: Paleis Het Loo (The Royal Palace!): A little culture! Maybe I'll dress up fancy (probably not). I'll try to pretend I know the difference between a Baroque and a Rococo architectural style. Mostly, I'll be looking for a quiet place to sit down. And a decent coffee.
- 11:00 - 13:00: Shopping, Eating, and General Chaos. Explore the town. Find a cute cafe. Buy a souvenir that I'll promptly lose. The kids will want ice cream. I'll probably want a stiff drink.
- 13:00 - 14:00: The Pre-Departure Tidy Up (or, the "Oh God, We Have To Pack!") The dreaded packing begins. The towels will be damp. The kids’ toys will be everywhere. I'll try to be organized. I will fail.
- 14:00 - 15:00: Sauna - Final Farewell (Maybe?) One last sauna session. Because, why not? Embrace the heat one final time. Savor the experience… or at least try not to panic.
- 15:00 - Whenever: Departure Time & The Long Road Home. Loading the car. Navigating. Driving. Enduring the unavoidable "Are We There Yet?"s. Contemplating therapy. Dreaming of my next holiday… when I'll hopefully remember to pack all the chargers.
Final Thoughts
This is my vacation, the chaos is unavoidable. This is a trip to Apeldoorn, not a spa retreat. I will likely return exhausted, slightly sunburnt (if I remember sunscreen), and in need of a real vacation to recover from this "relaxing" getaway. But hey, at least I'll have had an infrared sauna! And maybe, just maybe, I'll find some moments of genuine peace. Or, you know, just survive. Which, in my book, is a win. Wish me luck, world. I’m going in…
