Take the Plunge: Exploring Our Heated Indoor Pool from Dawn Till Late

Looking for a wellness routine that actually fits your schedule? Our heated indoor pool is open from 07:00 to 23:00 every day, so you can dive in at dawn or unwind late at night. At Golden Tulip Ampt van Nijkerk, hotel guests enjoy complimentary access to a covered, comfortably warm pool complete with loungers and seating—ideal for a few energizing laps or a quiet reset whenever it suits you.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to make the most of the long opening hours, what to expect on arrival, and how to turn a quick dip into a full relaxation ritual with our sauna, Turkish steam bath, and solarium—all conveniently on site.

Why long hours matter for your wellness

Consistency is key when it comes to feeling your best. Early-bird swimmers get a calm, focused start, while night owls can release tension before sleep. With the pool open 07:00–23:00 daily, you don’t have to choose—you can move when your energy is highest or wind down when your day is done.

• Early laps help sharpen focus before meetings or travel.
• Midday movement boosts circulation and eases muscle stiffness.
• Evening swims promote relaxation and can support more restful sleep.

Whether you’re here for business, a family break, or a romantic escape, these extended hours give you real flexibility.

What to expect at the pool

Our heated indoor pool is comfortably warm and fully covered, so the weather never interrupts your plan. You’ll find loungers and seating for breaks between sets or a quiet read by the water.

A structured overview of water & wellness facilities

Beyond the pool: Sauna, steam, and solarium

Take your recovery up a notch with our complimentary Finnish sauna and Turkish steam bath, both open 07:00–23:00 daily. Because these facilities need time to reach the right temperature, simply request activation at reception before your session. For a sun-kissed glow, head to the solarium—there are two sunbed rooms next to the wellness area, with coins available at reception for €9.00 per coin.

Important notes:

• The sauna and steam bath are located on the 2nd floor, accessible via the pool entrance.

Family-friendly touches (including private swim lessons)

Traveling with kids? Our pool regularly hosts 1‑on‑1 private swim lessons for the Dutch ABC diploma, provided by Zwemschool Snorkeltje. The beauty of the format is the personalized attention for faster learning—while the pool remains open to hotel guests during lessons.

Parents can relax nearby: enjoy the sauna or solarium, or settle in for coffee and a bite in our inviting De Patio lounge and inner‑garden terrace.

• For lesson possibilities, please contact Zwemschool Snorkeltje.
• Hotel guests are welcome in the pool while lessons are in progress.
