Wellness in your holiday home
Small luxury for great utilisation
A beautiful bathroom with a little extra luxury makes your holiday home an absolute feel-good place and is usually at the top of guests' wish lists. A sauna, a swimming pool or a fancy bathtub are considered true luxury in a holiday home. Many holidaymakers specifically look for holiday homes and holiday flats with these wellness facilities. Meine Ferienimmobilie tells you what you should look out for when it comes to wellness in your holiday home.
The bathroom as a wellness oasis
The bathroom is often the most expensive room in your holiday home and should be renovated at least every ten years to ensure that it is always modern and spotless. Your guests do a lot on holiday and the bathroom is used just as intensively. This is reflected not only in higher water consumption but also in the increased wear and tear on showers and the like. So invest in quality and have your bathroom installed by a professional.
Advantages of quality bathroom materials
- Longer durability
- easier to clean
- High-quality overall impression
Sauna and swimming pool
Holiday properties with their own sauna and/or swimming pool are very popular with holidaymakers. As the owner, however, you should carefully consider whether the high costs for installation, maintenance and electricity actually pay off. Unlike in Denmark, for example, it is usually not the tenant who bears the costs for the electricity actually used, but you as the owner. And this can add up to ten euros in electricity costs for a sauna session alone.
Costs of installing a sauna in a holiday home
The installation of a sauna varies between 1,200 and 12,000 euros, depending on the model, size and heater output. Put simply, the better the material used and the insulation, the lower the electricity costs during sauna operation and therefore your operating costs.
Swimming pool costs
An inflatable pool for the garden is available from around 300 euros, whereas a swimming pool with a high-quality stainless steel pool costs around 30,000 to 50,000 euros. Added to this are the costs for the corresponding excavation, the pool technology and the running costs for maintenance and servicing. Depending on the intensity of use, this adds up to around another 500 to 1,200 euros per year.
Wellness co-operations on site
Another very practical solution is to co-operate with local wellness facilities. Many holiday resorts offer spa card holders discounts for the local swimming pool and sauna area. Look around to see if there are any massages, beauty salons, a salineum etc. near your holiday property. Ask them for flyers and special offers for your holiday guests. This way, these local businesses will gain new customers and your guests can book wellness to their heart's content.
