Nudity policy

Textile-free hot rooms; Tuesday exception

On ordinary days, swimwear is not permitted in saunas or steam baths, although a towel or peshtemal may be used for coverage. Pools are clothing-optional. On Tuesdays, swimwear is mandatory throughout the spa, with the express exception that in saunas and steam baths guests may instead cover with a towel or peshtemal. Only The Well’s own swimwear is permitted.

Cover with a robe, towel or peshtemal when moving around, and cover the lower body on outdoor loungers. Robes are required in restaurants and lounges. The operator allows nude sunbathing in Private Garden, but Tuesday’s facility-wide coverage rules should not be assumed to disappear there. Minimum age is 18; ages 16–17 may visit with a parent or legal guardian.

PLAN YOUR ARRIVAL

Directions & Parking

Getting there

Go to the spa reception at Kongeveien 65 in Sofiemyr, south of Oslo. Use the operator’s current travel information to plan public transport or a booked transfer, rather than assuming the hotel entrance itself grants spa admission. Have the dated spa booking available at check-in.

Parking

The operator provides paid on-site parking directly outside the property, including accessible spaces, using number-plate recognition. Follow the posted EasyPark, payment-machine or Autopay process; the short free drop-off period is not free all-day parking.

Finding the naturist area

Check in at the spa reception, collect the access wristband and supplied robe/towels, and use the changing rooms. Shower naked before entering. Follow the current spa map to the saunas, steam rooms and pools, keeping a robe or towel on while moving between them. Ask staff to identify Private Garden if you want the specifically permitted nude-sunbathing area.

Where naturism applies

Ordinary-day pools permit either nude bathing or the venue’s own swimwear. Saunas and steam baths ordinarily prohibit swimwear but allow towel coverage. Tuesday requires swimwear or the explicit towel/peshtemal coverage alternative in hot rooms. Public arrival spaces, restaurants, circulation routes and the general outdoor loungers are not unrestricted nude zones.

For an uncovered nude bathing visit, choose a day other than Tuesday.
If you want swimwear, only the venue’s own range is allowed.
Phones, cameras and camera-enabled devices are not allowed in the spa.

Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
