Directions & Parking
Getting there
Use the spa reception at Kooilaan 1, Bleiswijk, near the Rottemeren, and arrive for your reserved date and time. The operator says public transport is less direct: the Eendendreef stop leaves about a 20-minute walk; check the current journey before travelling.
Parking
The operator directs car guests to the municipal parking spaces beside the venue and warns to stay inside marked bays. This is not a private spa car-park facility and is not tagged as on-site Parking. The stated parking is for passenger cars, not campervans; Elysium says it has no electric charging points.
Finding the naturist area
Check in at reception, then follow staff directions through the changing/locker area to the spa. Check the day’s swimwear status before changing: ordinary days are clothing-free, Mondays require swimwear. Use the current spa map for the indoor baths, garden saunas and outdoor pools, and wear a bathrobe in dining and relaxation areas.
Where naturism applies
The clothing-free rule is inside the admitted spa facilities on regular days. The reception, dining/relaxation spaces, public car park and paths outside the resort are not nude sunbathing areas.
- Confirm the current opening calendar and any closed facilities before travelling.
- Respect local photography rules and use a towel on shared seats.
