Steam bath
We recommend you to start exploring the magical sauna world just in the steam bath. The temperature of the steam bath varies between 43–46 °C and easily dissolves all the worries and stress. Traditional steam therapy contributes to the overall relaxation of the body and is an excellent preparation for other treatments.
Herb bath
The herb bath is warmer than the steam bath (about 55–66 °C) and combines thermotherapy with aromatherapy. Selected essences scent the bath and help your psychics to relax. It has a beneficial effect on the respiratory tract and skin and contributes to the overall relaxation of body and mind.
Salt bath
The salt bath has a maximum of 50 °C and is regularly dosed with an aerosol of sea salt. It has beneficial effects on the airways and skin.
Finnish sauna
Finnish sauna is a traditional Scandinavian way of mental and physical cleansing. The temperature is between 90 and 100 °C. The body sweats due to the heat, thereby eliminates harmful substances. Staying in a sauna is beneficial to your airways and immune system. It is necessary to cool with cold water or ice after staying in the sauna.
Laconium
The laconium room is heated to 60 °C with dry air. The heat radiates from the heated walls of the room, benches and floors. Staying in laconium slows the heart rate, relaxes the skin and muscles. It is recommended as a relaxation procedure.
Rasul
The Rasul steam bath is an extraordinary procedure. The temperature is around 40 °C and during the stay in it, you apply Moroccan clay on your body or on the body of your partner. The clay contains a high percentage of minerals and substances that cleanse the skin. Moreover, it has a very pleasant consistency. Finally, your body will rinse a cleansing shower that automatically starts from the ceiling. We offer the Rasul steam bath to our guests and public as an individual treatment for a fee.
Sauna ceremonies
An experienced sauna master will accompany you through the sauna ceremony. Hot stones in the sauna are covered with water mixed with aromatic essence. The humidity increases, the hot steam rises and hisses pleasantly. The sauna master spreads the steam all over the space with towels. The steam impact that the towel causes enhances the effect of the hot air on the body and helps to open the pores on the skin. The ceremony has its energy and story. It is accompanied by pleasant scents and music. The sauna master always prepares everything for the visitors before the ceremony as per their needs. One of the rituals always includes peeling or body mask that has a beneficial effect on the skin.
Sauna ceremonies take place regularly according to the schedule in the Finnish sauna. The ceremony usually does not exceed 10 minutes and even sauna beginners can participate. Each Friday during the night wellness, the wellness centre visitors have the sauna ceremony for free.
