Every season has its own charm. While we spend a lot of time outdoors and going out in the summer, in winter we prefer peace and quiet and cozy moments. It's the perfect time to enjoy cozy evenings, atmospheric lights, and loved ones around us. With a wellness vacation at Center Parcs, you can recharge your batteries in no time. Discover all the possibilities here!

What is a wellness vacation?

A wellness vacation is all about relaxing and recharging, both physically and mentally. Immerse yourself in the spa, enjoy a relaxing massage, sample delicious fresh meals, and take soothing walks in nature. Experience cozy moments with fun activities and snuggle up close to your loved ones. You'll return home with new energy and a fresh mindset!

The perfect wellness vacation at Center Parcs

Center Parcs has all the ingredients for a wonderful wellness vacation close to home. Discover the facilities below and put together your ultimate wellness experience. Invite that friend who could use a boost or surprise your family with a midweek full of fun and winter relaxation.

Dive into Wellness

When you think of a wellness vacation, you naturally also think of “Wellness.” Some of our parks are located directly next to a luxury spa, where you can completely immerse yourself in relaxation and comfort. For example, visit the Deep Nature Spa in Park Allgäu (Germany), Park Hochsauerland (Germany) or in our French parks, where you can enjoy various saunas, baths, a hammam and even a salt cave.

For the ultimate moment of relaxation, you can also book a wonderful body treatment at the Deep Nature Spa. Or visit Elaisa Wellness, just a 10-minute walk from Terhills Resort (B), where centuries-old sauna traditions and special baths will completely relax you. The other parks also offer massages and, of course, the invigorating whirlpools in the Aqua Mundo.

Get some fresh air in nature

Our parks are located in beautiful locations, surrounded by nature. In winter, you can walk endlessly through forests, along lakes, or enjoy the fresh air on the beach. You don't have to go far to get some fresh air: take a relaxing walk through winter nature or discover the cozy, illuminated towns in the area. Around the Christmas holidays, the atmospheric Christmas markets in Trier and Bruges are highly recommended.

From Park De Haan (B), you can be on the North Sea beach in just a few minutes, where the fresh sea air and the rhythm of the waves will completely relax you. Or opt for a winter walk along Lake Bostal at Park Bostalsee (D), where the mirror-smooth water has a calming effect. For bird lovers, the Drostendiep at De Huttenheugte (NL) is a beautiful spot. Kingfishers and other rare birds can be seen there!

Take a warm dip in Aqua Mundo

Want to escape winter for a while? Grab your swimwear and head to Aqua Mundo! A world of tropical water fun awaits you under the palm trees. Relax in the wave pool and hot tub, or discover the various slides. Whizz down steep slides, race each other on the fast tracks, enjoy the view on the gentler slides, or opt for a surprising course on the tube slides.

A ride through Center Parcs' iconic whitewater course is also a must. Let yourself be carried along by the current as you overcome various obstacles. Several parks also have a snorkeling pool where you can spot tropical fish. So put on your diving goggles and discover the beautiful underwater world. Fun for young and old!

Play games with your loved ones

Winter is a favorite time of year for anyone who loves games. Make your cottage cozy with candles, pleasant music, tasty snacks and drinks, and your favorite games. Challenge each other with a board game or alternate between different games during a real game day. While it's bleak and cold outside, you can enjoy a cozy day indoors without feeling guilty!

Feel like getting away for a bit? Sign up for Family Quiz Night or Crazy Game Night while enjoying snacks and drinks. Who knows, you might even go home with a nice prize! Or visit Game Town, where you can compete against each other in various video games. Is it time for some action? Show what you're made of with a game of bowling, mini golf, or laser tag.

Visit the Winter Hotspot

In winter, the festive decorations of Winter Wonders transform our parks into a magical world. Visit the Winter Hotspot* to roast marshmallows over the fire while enjoying the cozy winter atmosphere with a hot chocolate in your hand. Or plan a fun gourmet evening with friends or family where being together is the focus. How cozy!

**The Winter Hotspot is not available at Terhills Resort and Parc Sandur (NL). And there is no fireplace at Villages Nature Paris (FR), Les Hauts de Bruyères (FR), Les Bois-Francs (FR), and Les Landes de Gascogne (FR).

Book a Wellness Cottage

At Center Parcs, you can also book a special Wellness cottage, which is 100% dedicated to relaxation. In this cottage, you can enjoy ultimate luxury. Not only do you have your own wellness bathroom, complete with a sauna, rain shower, and various extras such as a Bluetooth sound system, but your private terrace also features an outdoor hot tub to help you relax completely.

This means you won't have to leave your cottage during your vacation! The Wellness Cottage is available at De Eemhof (NL), De Kempervennen (NL), and Park Allgäu (D). All VIP cottages come standard with a rain shower, hot tub, and infrared sauna, while our Exclusive cottages are equipped with a hot tub and rain shower. Perfect for a relaxing getaway!

Make your cottage cozy

In winter, the cozy atmosphere in your cottage really comes to life. While it's dark and cold outside, light the candles and turn on the fireplace for a warm and cozy feeling. What could be better than coming in after a cold walk, warming up by the crackling fire, and flopping down on the couch with your loved ones? Time for a warm cup of tea or a glass of red wine.

Prepare your favorite winter recipes in the kitchen of your cottage and enjoy delicious meals together. How about a creamy pumpkin soup or a spicy apple pie to go with your coffee? Of course, you can also visit one of the many restaurants in the park. Want to make it even easier for yourself? Have your food delivered to your cottage and enjoy a relaxing evening!
