Vabali Spa Berlin

It is a Balinese-style day spa with more than ten saunas (including panoramic, meditation and herbal saunas), steam baths, indoor and heated outdoor pools, and relaxation rooms with waterbeds. Aufguss infusions and peelings take place roughly every half hour, and you can book massages such as Hot Stone, Lomi Lomi Nui and Ayurvedic Abhyanga. There is also an Asian-Mediterranean restaurant.

Entry runs on timed day passes rather than memberships. Options range from a 2-hour ticket to 4-hour, 6-hour and full-day passes, with slightly higher weekend or peak-time rates. Massages and treatments are booked separately.

It is at Seydlitzstraße 6, 10557 Berlin, in the Moabit district, less than 500 metres from Berlin Hauptbahnhof (the main railway station), which makes it easy to reach by public transport.

Vabali Spa Berlin is open daily, generally from 08:00 to midnight, with the opening time shifting to 09:00 in the summer season. Special hours can apply on public holidays, so check the website before you visit.

It is a large Southeast Asian-themed resort spread across a landscaped park of roughly 20,000 sqm with old trees, sun terraces and a heated outdoor pool, so it feels like a holiday retreat despite being in the middle of the city near the main station.
