Sorry this is currently closed till 2025?!
Want to go for a swim in 30C pool? Then take your swimming things. Or choose from 3 saunas, steam, hot tub, plunge pool and then your swimming stuff comes off at the door. It's about 12 Euro each before 1pm with 10 Euro deposit. And less if you just want to swim. Take a towel or rent them there. You do need to book a timeslot online during Covid times.

Seafood, and lots of it! Sadly not many gluten free options, and the service can be a little slow. The food when it comes is delicious though! And sea themed in the dunes so slightly sheltered with some swings and a slide

Traveler advice
Don't miss
Restaurants
During the summer months the beach is where it's at! There's a lot of choice, but on sunny days make sure you book a table ideally a couple of days before as they do get full. (You can always cancel free of charge of you change your mind!)
