Instead of letting our bodies shiver and freeze in the cold season, we should do them a favor and give them warmth and comfort. Massages and saunas are perfect for your free time. Of course, there are great places in Berlin where you can pop in after work or on the weekend. However, if you want a truly all-round wellness experience with special sauna options, thermal pools, and everything else that really allows your body to relax, then you need to venture a little way out of Berlin. Just outside the capital, there are special wellness oases, such as futuristic thermal baths with saltwater pools at 34 degrees Celsius, underwater music, and light projections. But it doesn’t stop there, because the Spreewald Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to the Spreewald Therme, whose thermal brine is drawn from an impressive depth of 1,350 meters.

The modern saltwater thermal baths offer several indoor pools with different temperatures (approx. 18–38 °C). Even in the cold of winter, you can take a deep breath in the warm outdoor pool with its lazy river and enjoy the fresh air of the surrounding nature. The thermal brine at the Spreewald Therme comes from a depth of around 1,350 meters and is particularly rich in minerals – ideal for the skin, respiratory tract, and deep relaxation.
There are also special steam bath and brine inhalation options, for example in historic pickle barrels. The spacious sauna garden extends over three levels and includes several saunas. Here you will find themed saunas with temperatures of up to 95 °C, where toxins in the body don’t stand a chance. Adventure and cold water areas provide the necessary cooling, while the sauna bar and relaxation areas offer relaxing views of the countryside. Of course, you don’t have to forego massages and wellness treatments here either. From classic massages to body wraps, algae and herbal baths, water floating bed treatments, and cosmetic and skin care programs—you can also book attractive combination packages, such as couples’ baths.

When and how can all this be perfectly combined? This Valentine’s Day, you can treat your loved one to a wellness package at the Spreewald Therme and round off the romantic experience with a Valentine’s dinner at Schloss Lübbenau. There, you will embark on a culinary journey to the Portuguese coast of Madeira – because, after all, the way to the heart is through the stomach.
Would you like to make your Valentine’s Day gift even more special? After a relaxing Saturday in the Spreewald on February 14, 2026, you can end Sunday romantically at the Ballet of Lights in Berlin, where sparkling lights tell the story of Sleeping Beauty in a whole new way.
