“One night that turned into two - true wellness, mindfulness and Ikigai living”
Title: One night that turned into two - true wellness, mindfulness and Ikigai living I initially booked one night at Ikigai B&B (Turnhout area / Oud‑Turnhout), but I felt so peaceful so quickly that I booked an extra night immediately. This place doesn’t just offer comfort: it offers a complete reset. Everything here invites you into a slower rhythm: the calm of the home, the gentle energy, and the sense that your wellbeing actually matters. The wellness experience must feel intentional and soothing, with facilities such as a Finnish sauna, hot tub, infrared and indoor/outdoor relaxation areas, set in a carefully created garden atmosphere, and a heated outdoor pool in season. Unfortunatly, I didn't make use of the welness facilities. But I will next time! What elevates Ikigai into something truly special is the human experience. Marc and Inge bring heaps of life experience and wisdom, and the conversations I had with them were surprisingly profound grounded, inspiring and mindful. Their personal story and the meaning behind Ikigai adds a deeper layer: you don’t just “stay,” you feel yourself returning to balance. Location-wise, it’s also ideal if you want nature to support your reset, with the Liereman nature area nearby and walking/cycling routes right outside. Marc and Inge are more than happy to share them with you. In short: if you’re looking for a luxury wellness B&B near Turnhout with authentic mindfulness and heartfelt hosting, Ikigai delivers. And then some.

“Exceptional – A true retreat for me”
Exceptional – A true retreat for me. My one‑night stay at B&B Ikigai in Turnhout was exactly what I needed. From the very first moment, I felt myself slowing down and letting go. This is not just a place to sleep, but a space designed for rest, soul searching, balance and wellbeing. Marc and Inge have created a beautiful, homely atmosphere grounded in the philosophy of Ikigai, finding meaning, calm and purpose in daily life. Their personal story is inspiring and provides depth to the entire experience. You don’t just stay here; you feel it. And the good breakfast helps too ;-) The hosts do everything possible to make guests feel supported and cared for, without it ever feeling forced. Everything is done with heart and attention. I left feeling mentally refreshed, deeply relaxed and grateful for the experience. Ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful wellness B&B near Turnhout where true hospitality and inner calm come together.

“Unexpected paradise in Oud-Turnhout”
Inge and Marc share their paradise house with their guests with much passion. Our room was located on the ground floor, and we enjoyed our own bathroom and separate toilet. The perks of the house are obviously the pool, but especially Inge and Marc’s hospitality. They tend to their guests with great care and this shows for example in the lovely breakfast, which we were able to enjoy next to the pool on the terrace. For us the location was perfect: we were only a 6 minute bike ride away from our friends’ house. Also Turnhout is very accessibly from their place, only a short drive away.
