Yskamer is a small sauna and ice bath studio in the 9 Straatjes — built around honest, intentional recovery. No trends, no pressure. Just heat, cold, and a calm place to feel better in your body.
About a year ago, my housemate and I became hooked on ice baths. What began as simple curiosity quickly grew into a ritual. There’s something physical about stepping into freezing cold water — it forces you to be present, completely in the now. Your thoughts quiet down, your breath slows, and everything else fades.
For us, it became a reset button. A moment of peace and clarity, where the outside world stops — even if just for a few minutes. That’s the feeling we wanted to share. That’s how Yskamer was born.
Not just athletes or hardcore wellness people — anyone in Amsterdam who could use a moment of rest. No expectations, no pressure.
Sweating out last night’s drinks, or looking for a clear, sharp start to the day.
Someone who just needs a moment to breathe between everything else.
Contrast therapy as a weekly rhythm — same time, same reset, every week.
This is not about trends. It’s about a space where people feel grounded, calm and clear again — right in the centre of Amsterdam.
Sauna at 90°C, ice baths at 3°C and 6°C. Sessions from €19 — drop in any time at Beulingstraat 21H.
