Scheveningen beach

This ferris wheel is over 40 metres high and has 36 closed gondolas with air conditioning, including one luxury VIP gondola with a glass bottom. From the ferris wheel visitors have a panoramic view of the sea, the beach and The Hague’s striking skyline.

The Pier in which the ferris wheel in Scheveningen sits on was also built around 1900 as a wooden promenade above the sea. It burned down in 1943 and was consequently rebuilt.

Wellness at Scheveningen in the winter
Want to take a dip in the North Sea but think it may be a bit too cold for comfort this time of year? Luckily for you Scheveningen hosts a fantastic variety of wellness-options.

Right at the end of De Pier lies the Floatcenter. Whilst we understand that nobody wants to be trapped in a coffin, that isn’t the case here. It’s really more like a one-person pool pod where you can simply open the doors and turn the lights on or off yourself. And trust me, after a while you’ll feel as if you’re on another planet. In a way one could make the argument that walking in nature, admiring far-away beachside huts and floating carelessly in a private pool pod make Scheveningen in the winter more or less, the opposite of Scheveningen in the summer.

Are you someone that would prefer a traditional wellness-experience? The Amrâth Kurhaus (we all just say Kurhaus) is the other magnificent building that defines Scheveningen, whose wellness-facilities will be opening at the end of the year.
