What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A ‘Health Farm’ styled hotel with an impressive swimming and sauna complex (included in room price).
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The property looks out over the rolling Limburg hills, with Valkenburg's town center a short walk down the Cauberg.
The rooms
Corridors connect straight to the baths, and newer wellness suites add private saunas, Sunshowers, and hill-view terraces.
The thermal pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Connected indoor and outdoor pools stay heated to 33 degrees Celsius beneath the complex's glass pyramid roof.
The saunas
The panoramic Infinitum sauna looks across the trees, where masters lead daily essential-oil towel infusions.
The spa
Cushioned daybeds look out toward the woods, and therapists perform Japanese Headspa rituals and BABOR ampoule facials.
At the table
The Lounge Bar serves seasonal Limburg dishes overlooking the hills, and Bread & Bites has coffee and regional flan.
How it began
Two physiotherapists spent twelve years searching for water, eventually drilling 381 meters into the Cauberg to strike a thermal spring.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
