First time at Flamingo Spa? Here’s how to plan the perfect visit
Are you visiting Flamingo Spa & Waterpark for the first time – and perhaps planning a short break in the Helsinki area at the same time?
Flamingo Spa & Waterpark is located in Vantaa, next to Jumbo shopping centre, around 15 kilometers from Helsinki city centre. From Helsinki Airport, Flamingo is only about a five-minute drive away.
If you are travelling from gurther adield, it is worth planning your Flamingo visit as a complete getaway. Where will you stay? Will you choose the family-friendly Waterpark or the adults-only Spa & saunaworld? And what would you like to do before and after your spa visit?
Here is our first-timer’s guide to a relaxing and memorable Flamingo getaway.
Travelling from further away? Choose a hotel package
If reaching Flamingo takes a few hours, there is no need to squeeze everything into a single-day trip. By combining your spa visit with an overnight stay, you will have more time to enjoy Flamingo as well as other experiences in Vantaa and the Helsinki metropolitan area.
The most convenient option is Break Sokos Hotel Flamingo, located in the same building as the Flamigo Spa & Waterpark. Your hotel room is practically just an elevator ride away.
Flamingo also works with several partner hotels located within approximately 2-5 kilometers. Current hotel package options include Break Sokos Hotel Flamingo, Clarion Hotel Aviapolis, Scandic Helsinki Aviacongress and Skyline Airport Hotel.
A ready-made hotel package combines accommodation and a spa experience in one easy booking. Family packages include accommodation, breakfast and admission to the Waterpark, while adults can also choose packages including access to Spa & saunaworld. Package contents and availability may vary, so always check the details when booking.
Flamingo is much more than a spa
One of the benefits of staying at Flamingo is that your whole trip does not have to revolve around the spa visit alone. During the same stay, you can combine waterpark fun with an indoor playground, food and drinks, beauty treatments, massages and other wellness services.
That makes Flamingo a convenient choice for a family getaway near Helsinki Airport or a short break in Vantaa.
If you are staying overnight, allow a little extra time to enjoy everything the destination has to offer.
Travelling with children? Continue the fun at Funpark
If the children still have energy after the Waterpark, head to Funpark by Flamingo Spa, an indoor playground located on the first floor.
The jungle-themed play area gives children plenty of opportunities to climb, slide, hang, bounce and move around. Adults accompanying a playing child enter free of charge.
Funpark is an easy addition to a waterpark day, a great rainy-day activity or an attraction in its own right during your hotel stay.
Make dining part of your holiday
A good meal is part of a relaxing day away.
Inside the Waterpark, Flamingo Beach Bistro serves the whole family, while Tropical Bar in Spa & saunaworld offers food and drinks in an adults-only spa setting.
Just outside the Flamingo Spa & Waterpark, close to reception, you will also find Waffles & Wine by Flamingo Spa restaurant. There you can visit even if you are not using the Spa & Waterpark facilities.
When you are travelling from further away, it is worth allowing enough time for meals rather than treating them as something to fit in between activities. It makes the day feel much more like a holiday.
Add some extra wellness with a treatment or yoga class
If you would like to make your visit even more relaxing, you can also book a treatment alongside your spa experience.
MySense by Flamingo Spa is located opposite the Flamingo Spa & Waterpark reception on floor 0 of Jumbo. Its services include facial treatments, beaty services, massages and gentle yoga classes.
Spa & saunaworld also has its own treatment area with relaxing spa treatments for adults.
A treatment can be a wonderful way to begin or end your short break – or a chance to enjoy some time to yourself while the rest of the family visits the Waterpark of Funpark.
