Our Take

In a nutshell

A large aquatic and fitness complex in Bern — pool, sauna, full group class programme, and yoga in a leisure centre setting at CHF 119/month.

Our verdict

Choose Bernaqua if aquatic and thermal wellness are your priority — visit in the evening and confirm the timed-entry billing policy before joining.

Good selection of saunas plus a steam bath and ample resting space including a silent room. If you go early on weekdays there are sometimes few people and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. At popular times it can feel a bit crowded, even though there‘s generally a lot of space. You enter through the same wardrobe as for the bath, which is often buzzing with kids and families.

Hei, this is a great place to “get a bath”. Lots of different pools there.. no matter your age, you will find one for you 👍 Highly recommended 👌 Located in Westside, you can easily find a parking space and some good options for a meal, if that’s the case 😉 Highly recommended 👍 If you are traveling, you have a nice Hotel here (HolidayInn) from were you can easily and very quickly access the pools 😎 Highly recommended

Huge complex with not much swimming areas. Let me elaborate, you have a huge pool with some inflatable obstacles where a bunch of wild kids and teenagers jump and go crazy so not suitable for kids. Then you have 3 or 4 slides all super crowded and not for small kids. There is the Tikitaka land for the youngest but it's not a pool. There is the super cool cinema with salty water though but it being dark and slightly noisy, not good for kids. Then there is the cool pool of 18°C, forget about geting kids in that one :). There is the outdoor pool also with salty water. There is the erlebenis pool which is one of the most crowded ones so not much to do there and there is another one where everyone goes to get massages from the waterfalls and jets so also not for kids. We went there two day and checked the occupancy level. First time it was 60% and the second one was 30%. Not sure how they measure that as bot times the pools where equally crowded. All in all, if your kids don't go on the slides and are too old for the Tikitaka land, don't bother.

The staff doesn't know how to communicate. The first time you ask them, they tell you to get out of here.

I had a deep tissue back massage from Fabio recently, and it was the best massage I've had. He was extremely friendly and knows his job very well. The service is fantastic, and I left there feeling like I got exactly what I paid for. Highly recommend him. I didn't realise that when I booked the massage, I also got access to the sauna and the spa, which I think is fantastic value for money. I enjoyed it so much that I'm rebooking for my wife and I to go again before we travel back to Australia.
