Health spa

A stay on Helgoland strengthens the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system. This is thanks to the stimulating climate, which deepens respiratory activity and boosts the immune system. Good bio-climate and high air quality on Helgoland meet the increased demands of respiratory diseases. As required by law, the town center is not far from the beach, and an all-around barrier-free infrastructure allows spa guests to get around the island according to their needs. Also provided are well-maintained public toilets, shelters in the beach area and rest facilities in areas sheltered from the wind, a promenade and hiking trails close to the beach, a supervised bathing beach with catering facilities, and the tourist information center for all concerns.

The accommodations also comply with the general conditions for a relaxing stay. Moreover, there are cultural, health and sporting offers for therapeutic as well as entertainment purposes. We regularly check the quality standards of the Helgoland spa and tourism organizations. A climate assessment of the bioclimate and the air quality as well as controls of the bioclimatic influencing factors and expert opinions on the air quality are also carefully checked at the prescribed intervals.

High sea climate against health problems With a visit to Germany’s only high-sea island, you combine the views of the open sea, characterized by the natural romance of the North Sea, with the health-promoting stay that only a spa can offer in this way. Because of its unique location, Helgoland has a high-sea climate and is thus considered one of the most iodine- and oxygen-rich places in Germany and even Europe.

Even if you are completely healthy, you will notice after arriving on Helgoland that you breathe much better – Helgoland is simply “the island that breathes”. The pure air on the car-free island makes sure of that. Measured values show: Not even the Zugspitze can keep up with Helgoland in terms of air quality. As a result, the high seas air counteracts respiratory diseases as well as simple cold complaints. Thanks to the heat-storing sea, the climate is mild and balanced in all seasons.

Beneficial and vitalizing: The healing power of seawater was already known to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. This did not go unnoticed by scientists and doctors. As early as the 18th century, the British physician Richard Russel (1687-1759) encouraged his patients to drink seawater for therapeutic purposes and to bathe in it. Today, the healing effects of a change of place and climate, including thalassotherapy, have been proven. With an outpatient seawater cure you vitalize your body and mind. On Helgoland, you can be treated with seawater and sea silt at the Kurmittelhaus.

An outpatient cure and thalassotherapy not only prevents illnesses and health complaints and thus has a preventive effect, existing complaints are alleviated. For example, those who suffer from respiratory diseases, including allergy sufferers and asthmatics, have a good chance of spending a healthy stay on Helgoland without symptoms of their disease, thanks to the healing aerosols of the sea.
