Staying active while traveling often sounds easier than it is.

For most guests, the easiest option is simply to stop by The Kontiki reception before heading over.

When should you collect the guest card?

That means:

For example, if you want to attend a group class one day and use the sauna the next day, you should pick up a new guest card before each of those visits.

Why this perk matters for travelers

A good hotel stay is not only about where you sleep. It is also about how easily you can maintain the routines that make you feel your best. Access to a nearby fitness club can make a big difference, especially on longer stays.

Benefits of having gym and sauna access during your stay

For travelers who like to balance beach time with movement, this setup creates an easy wellness rhythm: a morning workout, a day by the sea, and a sauna session to unwind.

Is Blue Maxx access included with every stay at The Kontiki?

Yes. Free access to the Blue Maxx Health Club is listed among the complimentary benefits included with every stay at The Kontiki.

Other included guest benefits include:

Breakfast remains optional and can be added to a reservation if desired.

This matters because it places Blue Maxx access in the category of a genuine stay enhancement rather than an add-on. For many guests, that makes it easier to prioritize wellbeing without thinking about extra logistics.

Can you join group classes at Blue Maxx?

Yes. Guests of The Kontiki can enjoy participation in a wide range of group classes at Blue Maxx Health Club as part of their complimentary access.

If you enjoy a more social or structured workout environment, classes can be a great way to stay active while traveling. They can also help break up a stay with scheduled movement, especially if you are trying to avoid slipping into an all-lounge, no-routine holiday mode.

If you want to organize your fitness time in advance, it may also be helpful to look into the club schedule or ask about class booking options.

Is personal training available?

Yes. Personal training is available at Blue Maxx Health Club.

Guests of The Kontiki can arrange personal training sessions by contacting the Front Office, which coordinates the booking with the gym staff. The club also lists personal training among its services.

How to arrange personal training

This is a useful option for guests who want extra structure, prefer one-to-one guidance, or want help tailoring workouts during their stay.

Practical tips for making the most of your Blue Maxx access

A complimentary gym benefit is most valuable when you actually use it. A little planning can help you get more out of it.

1. Build reception pick-up into your routine

Because the guest card is required before every visit, make that stop part of your plan. If you like morning workouts, head to reception first and keep the process seamless.

2. Mix training with recovery

Blue Maxx access includes both the gym and the sauna, so think beyond a single workout. You can pair exercise with time to recharge.

3. Try a group class

If your usual routine feels repetitive while traveling, a group class is an easy way to stay active with built-in structure.

4. Ask about personal training if you want guidance

If you are returning from a break, training toward a goal, or simply want a focused session, personal training can add direction to your stay.

5. Use wellness as part of your full resort experience

The Kontiki offers several ways to shape a balanced stay. Alongside Blue Maxx access, guests can explore the resort’s broader wellbeing options, including beauty treatments in the wellness area at Mood Beach.
