My apologies. I have been to both TE near Munich but in my above post was referring to Z in Amsterdam. I momentarily got them confused.

To answer the poster`s question about TE:
It's huge and at least on the 80 degree sunny day I attended, very few of the hundreds of sunbathers were laying out naked or walking around in the nude. I'd also state that the attractiveness of the clientele is less consistent than at Z in Amsterdam.

Again, sorry for the confusion

No problem. The tips here are valuable, so I just wanted to prevent misunderstandings 😀
The big places in Germany like TE or Kristall have hundreds of visitors, hard to imagine for US folks. You see all kinds of folks, but if you simply count the hot ones, maybe 400 ladies boil down to 20. But that can still beat the smaller places.

Recently went to spa Z in Amsterdam and spa S near Utrecht on back to back days. Both were definitely worth it. Full of very attractive young clientele and very friendly. Spa Z definitely had more international visitors, many from Asia and a few from India that I noticed. The highlight though was this beautiful Indian girl who was all smiles and walking around totally naked everywhere. I'm wondering which sauna in Europe has this kind of diverse visitors. I'm looking for a destination for my next trip and any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe the more touristy ones are what I'm looking for?

Overall, The Netherlands was a great place to visit for saunas. Germany is the only other country I've seen people being this open to nudity. People were just walking around everywhere totally naked with no Fs given.

Is anyone aware of German/dutch spa hotels with nudist saunas? Or generally nudist? This is for my wife and I

In general, all hotels with saunas expect nudity in the sauna.
There may be some people coming in clothed, but you can usually be naked if you want.

Full nudist hotels, never seen one.

In Germany this would make no sense to have the hotel nude. There are Spas with hotel, the TE for example. The Spa has restaurant, bar, pool, loungers and everything where you can be nude. The hotel is just for sleeping, you spend all.day in the Spa. So why should the hotel have any resources when you have everything in the Spa. If you've ever been to a place like TE, you wouldn't spend a minute in any hotel facility. The TE has about 5000 guests a day, 2000 women, 200 you find interesting. That keeps you busy for a day. After that, you will fall into your bed 😁

Hi all,

Out of curiosity, is it a bad thing to wear glasses into a sauna? Heard the heat can cause issues to the glass. And if it's not recommended to bring them in, are there usually lockers or like a cupboard nearby to put your stuff in before heading into the sauna?

[rudolfm]

Lets differ between the sauna cabin and the spa. Having your glasses along in the spa is no problem, and the places I went had extra little shelves to leave you glasses outside of the sauna cabin.
In the sauna cabin due to the heat, metal frames might burn your skin. Plastic frames can get soft and get deformed. Glass lenses have no problems, plastic lenses can be damaged by more than 60C. Leave them outside.
Disposable contact lenses are the best option for clear vision in the sauna cabin.

Most spectacle lenses are now plastic, I haven't noticed any lens distortion because of sauna heat. Metal frames might get hot, plastic frames might possibly distort. If your eyesight is so poor as to cause safety concerns then you could wear an old pair of 'beater' spectacles. Or ask your optometrist this question.

If you want to wear spectacles "to get a good view" of the women, then don't stare, or turn your head to follow someone around, or come across as gawping or creepy - but you probably knew that anyway!.
