Fontana Resort Bad Nieuweschans expands thermal area |
|
By Jane Kitchen 29 Aug 2018 |

The Fontana Resort Bad Nieuweschans in The Netherlands has added a new 34-degree Celsius Park Pool to its facilities, expanding on the new Sauna Lodge and Panorama Pool opened in the Sauna Garden last year.
The new pool is located at the edge of the Bathrobe Park, and guests lounging along the rim of the pool have an excellent view of the park. The pool water is 34°C, and like the current Thermal Pool, it is filled with thermal water, and features bubble seats and a five-spray neck shower.
“Over the past few years, we have invested in the facilities in the Sauna Garden,” said director Jos Keizer. “So now it’s time to expand the Thermal Pool facilities. During certain periods of the year, the Thermal Pool could become overcrowded, so in order to give guests more space, we have built an extra Thermal Pool. We’ve named the new pool the Park Pool, because it is located on the edge of the Bathrobe Park. The pool is two degrees cooler than the existing Thermal Pool, allowing us to offer a wider range of pools and prevent guests from becoming overheated when they move from one pool to the other.”
Keizer emphasises the importance of cooling down after using the Thermal Pools, and of resting in between dips in the pools. “That’s why we built a Park Veranda for the Park Pool,” Kiezer explained. “The rest area offers guests the opportunity to relax with a beautiful view of the park after using the pool. A real moment for oneself.”
The Bathrobe Park is a 10-hectare park open exclusively for Fontana guests, where they can stroll, relax in a hammock, at the water’s edge or in a bear chair, or enjoy the sunshine in a lounge chair.
The expansion was not intended to draw more guests to Fontana (currently 210,000 per year), but to offer guests more space. “We aim to continue to surprise our guests, and we strive for constant development. The next plans are already on the drawing board,” said Keizer.
