01
Dry heat
Finnish sauna
A high temperature and generally low humidity create intense heat intended for controlled, mindful stays.
Heat, essences and silence
The sauna as a wellness ritual
An experience built around heat, breathing and listening to the body, to be enjoyed calmly, mindfully and with respect for your limits.
Dry heat · intimate atmosphere
Finnish sauna
Heat changes the pace
The warm, dry environment invites the body to slow down and heightens the perception of breathing, silence and time.
Perspiration increases during a sauna session and temporary changes in heart rate and blood pressure may occur. The experience should therefore be approached gradually, without strain, and stopped immediately if you feel unwell.
The sauna is a wellness experience and does not replace medical diagnosis, advice or treatment.
Temperature and humidity
Three atmospheres, three different perceptions
The relationship between heat and steam profoundly changes the nature of the experience.
02
Moderate heat
Bio sauna
Lower temperatures and greater humidity create a gentler, more gradual sensation than a Finnish sauna.
03
Steam
Steam bath
A more moderate temperature and very high humidity envelop the space, making the heat feel denser and more intense.
Mindful use
The sauna journey
Preparation, the session, cooling down and rest form a single cycle.
-
01
Prepare lightly
Avoid heavy meals and do not use the sauna after drinking alcohol.
-
02
Shower and hygiene
Shower before entering, dry your body and take a sufficiently large towel with you.
-
03
Protect the benches
The towel must completely separate your body from the wood, supporting comfort and hygiene.
-
04
Listen to your body
Never force yourself to stay. Leave immediately if you experience dizziness, nausea, weakness or difficulty breathing.
-
05
Leave slowly
If you have been lying down, sit for a few moments and rise calmly before leaving the sauna.
-
06
Cool down and rest
Follow the cooling phase indicated by staff, then allow yourself a few minutes of rest.
-
07
Replace fluids
Drink water before and after the cycle to replace fluids lost through perspiration.
Guided ritual
Aufguss
A burst of steam changes the perception of heat for several minutes, turning the sauna into a guided, theatrical experience.
The Aufgussmeister pours water and essences over the hot stones and distributes the steam with controlled towel movements. Rhythm, fragrance and heat come together in a single moment.
Their role is to support guests’ well-being and lead the ritual, without providing diagnostic or therapeutic services.
Olfactory landscape
Essences give the ritual its identity
The intensity and persistence of the fragrance change the nature of the experience without turning it into medical or therapeutic treatment.
Deep notes
Woods, resins and spices
Warm, persistent and enveloping fragrances suited to more intense rituals.
Cypress, juniper, incense, pine, cinnamon and thyme.
Middle notes
Plants and flowers
Soft herbal or floral fragrances designed for gentler, more harmonious atmospheres.
Lavender, chamomile, rosemary, sage and ylang-ylang.
Fresh notes
Citrus and leaves
Brighter, more immediate fragrances used to create a fresh, dynamic atmosphere.
Mint, orange, mandarin, lemongrass and grapefruit.
Anyone with torgies, skin sensitivity or respiratory problems must inform staff before taking part in a ritual with essences.
Body and perception
A break from the everyday pace
Many people associate the sauna with a feeling of relaxation, calm and temporary relief from tension.
These sensations are subjective and must not be interpreted as guaranteed therapeutic effects.
Relaxation
Silence and heat provide a break from everyday stimulation.
Release
Muscles and joints may perceive the heat as pleasant.
Personal care
Showering, hygiene and rest complete the sense of well-being.
Awareness
The cycle encourages you to recognise and respect your body’s signals.
