Solarium Add-Ons: When to Choose Our Paid Tanning Service for the Perfect Finish to Your Spa Visit

A great spa day deserves a great finale. At Golden Tulip Ampt van Nijkerk, guests enjoy complimentary access to the swimming pool, sauna, and Turkish steam bath—and can elevate their glow with our solarium add-on, a paid tanning service that offers a polished, sun-kissed look to close out your wellness ritual. If you’re deciding when Solarium Add-Ons make sense, this guide walks you through ideal moments to book, practical tips for a smooth experience, and how to plan your spa flow from start to finish.

Located in Nijkerk at the edge of the Veluwe, just north of Amersfoort, our modern 4-star hotel blends relaxation with convenience—free parking on-site, free Wi-Fi throughout, and an inviting restaurant, De Baron, to round off your day.

What Is the Solarium Add-On at Golden Tulip Ampt van Nijkerk?

The solarium add-on is a paid tanning service available to hotel guests who want a finishing touch after enjoying our complimentary spa facilities. While the pool, sauna, and Turkish steam bath are free to use, the solarium is available for an extra fee.

In short, the solarium add-on complements your relaxation routine with a refined, even-toned look.

Quick Answer: When Should You Choose the Solarium Add-On?

Choose the solarium add-on when you:

  1. Want a subtle, polished finish after the sauna or steam bath.
  2. Are preparing for a special occasion or professional event.
  3. Prefer a consistent, even-toned look year-round.
  4. Seek a confidence boost before a photoshoot or evening out.
  5. Have limited time outdoors but want a sun-kissed appearance.

Perfect Moments to Book a Solarium Add-On

Before a Special Occasion

If you’re attending a reception, symposium, or party—whether on-site in one of our 16 multifunctional rooms or nearby—finishing your spa visit with the solarium can help you feel event-ready. A smooth, even tone can complement formalwear and evening attire.

After a Full Spa Circuit

A classic spa flow might include a relaxing swim, warmth in the sauna, a clearing session in the Turkish steam bath, and then the solarium for a uniform finish. Many guests enjoy a brief cool-down and hydration break between heat experiences before their tanning session.

Ahead of Business Meetings or Speaking Engagements

If you’re meeting clients or speaking in a conference setting, appearance and confidence go hand in hand. The solarium add-on can provide a camera-ready look for presentations, headshots, and networking.

During Darker Months or Before Travel

When daylight is limited or your calendar is packed, the solarium add-on offers a consistent, controlled way to achieve a sun-kissed look without depending on the weather.

For a Polished Evening Out

Wrap up your wellness day, enjoy à la carte dining at Restaurant De Baron, and step into the evening with a refined glow.

How to Plan Your Spa Day Flow

While everyone’s routine is personal, here’s a simple way to structure your visit:

  1. Start with an easy swim to loosen up.
  2. Move into the sauna for deep relaxation.
  3. Transition to the Turkish steam bath to cleanse and refresh.
  4. Hydrate and cool down.
  5. Add the solarium (paid add-on) for a smooth, even-toned finish.

Tip: Leave short breaks between heat experiences and the solarium. Hydration and a gradual tempo help many guests feel at their best.
