Whizz down a wild water slide on a big tube, float in the relaxing lazy river, jump into the icy cold-water pool, or have a water fight on a pirate ship: this family friendly water park has something for every taste.

And thanks to the large kiddie area with slides and wading pools, babies don’t have to miss out while their older siblings venture down one of the longest covered slides in the country.

There’s an inviting sauna area with Kneipp basins to give your immune system a boost. The Asian spa offers a whole range of beneficial therapies, from aromatic oil and Thai massages to peelings. If you’ve overdone it a bit and need a detox day, there’s professionals who will guide you through the process.

The two-hour bathing ritual in the Roman-Irish bath will leave you completely relaxed. And if you are in the mood for romance, you can book a dreamy "Me and You" package.

The names of the slides say it all: the “Emotion Ride” is truly a rollercoaster of emotions, and all we can say when it comes to the “Black Hole” is: Aaaaaah! The disorientation in the complete darkness is intentional – this ride is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you prefer a calmer activity, you can go for a swim in the (indoor and outdoor) pools or enjoy a soothing saltwater bath.

There’s also excellent infrastructure that caters to visitors’ physical wellbeing, where athletes can let off steam and even spontaneously join a class: members and day guests alike are welcome in the over 70 group and (aqua) fitness classes.

From nutrition counselling to personal training, Bernaqua offers all the support and services a healthy body could need. And not only that: you can even book a session with a mental coach.
