Time for some YOU-time. Luckily, Amsterdam has a wide variety in Spa’s where you can pamper yourself.
These are some of the best spa’s in Amsterdam that are worth your while.
Akasha Spa, Conservatorium Hotel
This one is considered as one of the best spa’s in Amsterdam. located in the middle of the museum district inside the Conservatorium Hotel. Complete with a swimming pool, sauna and amazing treatments, this is a place where you walk out as a new you. I enjoyed an aromatherapy massage for 75 minutes and it was heaven. Prices are what you expect of a top notch hotel like this but let’s be real, everybody deserves a treatment like this once in a while!

Skins Institute at Hotel De L’Europe
This amazing Spa is located at the 5 star Hotel De L’Europe in the heart of Amsterdam. They used to have 2 locations, but they’ve now put everything under one roof. They do body, face, waxing, beauty and even hair treatments. I tried and tested one of their signature facial treatments and wow…heaven! Seriously, I should do this more often! You can even create your own exclusive oil base by getting your skin analyzed. A full day at the spa will cost you 30 euro’s and you can use the swimming pool (pictured), sauna’s, steam room and relax area where you can read. They serve lunch from the hotel and during spring and summer, you can enjoy the patio outside overlooking the Amstel.

Cowshed at the Soho House
Cowshed
Spuistraat 210, Amsterdam
www.sohohouseamsterdam.com/en/spa
Cowshed is located on the ground floor of the relatively new Soho House Amsterdam. The Soho House is a members club but the spa is open to everyone. The Spa has six treatment rooms and four mani-pedi chairs which are divine. Men can also enjoy a traditional barber and hair treatment here, but we tested the massage. The Cowshed relaxing moody massage is wonderful and you can choose between different oils. After the treatment you can enjoy a free herbal tea and on Thursdays they serve bubbles and chocolate! Good to know: All skin products are free from parabens, petrochemicals, sulphates, and artificial fragrances.
Human Beauty
This spa is not huge but smaller and cozy than the above mentioned. This makes your spa experience more personal and customers keep returning. The interior is light and bright with a small boutique where you can buy ceramics and Jewellery from the like of Mimi et Toi.

Floatcenter Amsterdam
Floating is one of the most relaxing things you can experience. It’s weightless, silent and you and your mind is all there is. A little difficult for some of us as doing “nothing” is somewhat out of the ordinary when you have a busy schedule like us but nevertheless, very needed. This spa also offers massages, a hamam (scrub),spa capsules, beauty treatments and sauna.

Spa 1001
Most hotspots are in the city centre of Amsterdam, at least that’s what most people think. I live outside the centre so I know better. Spa 1001 is located in Amsterdam New West in Osdorp and close to the upcoming Tuinen van West area. The spa is also popular with Dutch celebrities like actrice Victoria Koblenko, footballer Justin Kluivert, vlogger Sisi Bolatini and other top sporters and well known vloggers. You can either book 2,5 or 5 hours and enjoy your private sauna, steam room with a optic star-ceiling, spacious jacuzzi or unwind in the luxurious (and large) lounge area that includes a fireplace.

Even living in Amsterdam – one of the most relaxed cities I know- sometimes is easy to forget to stop and breathe a bit.
I always use photography as a getaway to fight that, because makes me focus on whats around me and pause.
And I think the ultimate relaxation experience would help me to also pause internally, to focus on myself.
Thanks!

Hi Curro! We love your story and your photography! Therefore we would love to offer you the ultimate floating experience! Congrats!
I would really LOVE to experience floating because this would be a totally new way to relax for me. Having a busy job means for me to clear my mind by doing sports & yoga. But also to have more ‘me-time’ to relax as much as I can. And try new stuff like floating sounds awesome!
This is a good blog to find spas in Amsterdam. This is in my bucket list to come and visit! I love massages and want to see how they are some there . Thankyou for sharing! ❤
