WHAT IS YOUR HYGIENE POLICY?
We allow sufficient time between sessions to clean the sauna thoroughly and ensure everyone gets the same prisitine experience. As with any authentic Finnish Sauna, there is proper ventilation and airflow so the room never becomes stuffy or smelly.
We also ask everyone to take a quick shower or dip before entering the sauna. You will need to bring a towel into the sauna to sit on.
Because of the high temperatures and good ventilation, Finnish saunas are actually a very hygienic place.
Take time to recharge your mind and body, sit for a moment, breathe and relax.
The sauna will be all yours for an hour to relax and unwind. Maybe try a dead sea salt scrub to detox your body, plunge into the ice bath or take a dip in the sea. It will leave you feeling amazing and reenergised.
