Nordseetherme

Nordseetherme is a family water and sauna complex run by the Esens-Bensersiel tourism board at Am Strand 8, by the North Sea coast in Bensersiel.

The bathing area centres on a themed family zone with a pirate ship and a paddling pool for young children, plus a 100-metre slide. Visitors who want to unwind can use a relax pool with bubble loungers, a steam bath (Dampfbad), and a large brine pool (Solebecken); the operator describes its saline water as mineral-rich, able to stimulate metabolism and support the immune system. Aquafit water-aerobics runs regularly in the pool area, and a family bistro serves snacks and drinks.

A separate sauna world runs at 60–95 °C: a 95 °C Finnish Aufguss sauna for about 40 people with hourly steam infusions, a 90 °C Banja sauna built from Kelo pine with birch-sap infusions, a 90 °C Finnish dry sauna without infusions, and a milder 60 °C Sanarium; the sauna area is textile-free (FKK). A sauna garden with beach chairs surrounds an outdoor cold-water plunge pool 1.30 metres deep with underwater lighting and a waterfall.
