but also an opportunity to take care of yourself in a wider dimension — also through appropriate clothing. Although it may seem that a swimsuit is a secondary matter, in fact it has a significant impact on the comfort of using swimming pools, saunas, jacuzzis or wellness treatments. So how to choose a swimsuit for the SPA so that it is functional, consistent with the etiquette of the place and at the same time stylish?
Functionality above all
When choosing a swimsuit for a SPA, it is worth betting on models that are comfortable, fit snugly to the body and do not restrict movement. Please note that many activities in the wellness area — such as swimming, jacuzzi or aqua fitness classes — require freedom and a stable fit. The outfit should remain in place even after entering the water or under the influence of hydromassage bubbles.
For women, classic one-piece or two-piece outfits with wider straps and a built-in bodice work best. Avoid drawstring tied outfits — they can slide or untie.
For men, the most comfortable will be swim trunks like shorts or classic slip-ons. Boardshorts (long shorts) are better left for the beach - they can be less practical in the jacuzzi or pool.

Style according to the place
In the SPA there is a slightly different standard of dress code than on the beach. Here moderation, convenience and respect for common space are key. The swimsuit should be aesthetic, well-groomed and properly matched to the character of the place, which promotes calmness and relaxation.
In places such as Hotel Lidia in Darłowo, where the wellness area is available for both couples and families, it is worth choosing models that are not too defiant or overly revealing. Regardless of the style or color, the most important thing is that the outfit is neat, clean and provides full comfort of use — also surrounded by other guests.

Materials that matter
A good swimsuit for SPA should be made of high-quality fabrics resistant to chlorine and high temperature. This is important because water in swimming pools and jacuzzis can contain disinfectants that destroy cheaper materials. It is worth paying attention to the designations of the type “chlorine resistant” or “spa proof”.
It is good if the outfit dries quickly — this increases the comfort of use when moving between zones, e.g. from the pool to the sauna or to the relaxation room. What to avoid?
In SPA zones they will not work:
- Swimsuits with lots of metal ornaments — they can heat up or rust.
- Outfits made of transparent materials or very bold cuts - they can be uncomfortable in the surroundings of other guests.
- Cotton shorts and tops — they are not adapted to contact with water and dry for a long time.
It is also always worth familiarizing yourself with the regulations of the facility. Some SPAs (e.g. Finnish saunas) have textile attire or lack thereof, but most hotels in Poland — including Hotel Lidia — use the sauna in a swimsuit or wrapped in a towel.
Additional accessories for the wellness area
In addition to the swimsuit itself, it is worth taking with you:
- flip flops — mandatory in many wellness areas for hygiene,
- towel or bathrobe — often provided by the hotel, but you can also have yours
- shower cap — if you plan to swim in a sports pool (it is worth checking the rules).
At the Lidia Hotel in Darłowo, guests using the SPA & Wellness zone are provided with a set of towels and access to elegant changing rooms, which significantly increases the comfort of their visit.
Summary: comfort and class in harmony
The right swimsuit for the SPA is a combination of comfort, elegance and respect for common space. It is worth choosing classic models, well-fitting, made of durable materials that will allow you to fully enjoy relaxation. In places such as Hotel Lidia, where the wellness area is a real oasis of peace, appropriate attire is not only a matter of aesthetics — it is an element of the culture of leisure.
