Saunas

Finnish Sauna

The Finnish sauna is the ideal place to relax, relieve stress, strengthen the respiratory system, relax the muscles and oxygenate the tissues. The dry and intense heat envelops the body and mind at 80-100 °C, cleansing and revitalising, while the wood provides an intense sensory experience. The humidity does not exceed 10-20%, except when water is poured onto the hot stones of the stove. Sometimes balsamic essential oils such as pine or eucalyptus essences are added to the water, but fresh essential oils such as lemon and cool mint are also ideal for the warmer months. What sensations are triggered? You experience a surge of pure energy, accompanied by dry and intense heat that penetrates the body and causes rapid and profuse sweating.

The Finnish sauna has countless psychophysical benefits:

• It relieves stress and anxiety.
• It promotes the elimination of metabolic waste and excess fluid.
• It acts as a real passive cardiovascular workout.
• It boosts the immune defence.
• It stimulates the oxygen supply to the tissues.
• It regulates blood pH, which is important for the prevention of infections.
• It facilitates muscle recovery.
• It promotes the drainage of accumulated lactate.
• It stimulates the production of endorphins.

Bio Sauna/Soft Sauna

A bio sauna is a gentler version of the Finnish sauna. Here, a comparatively lower room temperature of around 55 degrees Celsius is generated with a combination sauna heater. In contrast to other types of sauna, the humidity is higher at around 40 to 55 per cent. In addition, the bio sauna incorporates different phases of sweating and cooling, which contribute to its health-promoting and skin-caring effects. Over the years, it has become more and more established and can now be found in numerous spas and sauna centres. 
Another special feature of the bio sauna is that no infusions are used due to the lower temperatures. Instead, a small container is inserted in the sauna, which can hold various essential oils. These oils provide a lasting, pleasant fragrance. Depending on which aroma is used, different parts of the body or senses can be stimulated. A bio sauna often also has special lighting, which enables light therapy and can be combined with sound therapy.

Steam Bath

Originating from the ancient hammams, the steam bath aims to strengthen and regenerate not only the body but also the mind. The Starpool steam bath revives these ancient rituals with charm and elegance.  
The intensity of the heat and the lightness of the steam combine in the steam bath to create a regenerating oasis of absolute psychophysical well-being. Air, steam and fragrances combine to gently massage the skin, facilitating natural exfoliation and promoting perspiration. The 45° C temperature and 98% humidity naturally relax the body and promote the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone.
And the sensations? You experience a cloud of steam, water droplets that settle on the skin and soften it, while breathing is eased by inhaling the vapour.  

Benefits

• It allows for a thorough cleansing of the skin.
• It relaxes the respiratory system. 
• It induces deep psychophysical relaxation.
• It enhances skin elasticity.  

Ice Fountain

The ice fountain is the ideal way to cool down and rebalance your body after the intense heat of the Finnish sauna. The basin contains ice crystals, which, when massaged over the entire body from the feet to the neck, help to equalise the body temperature. It provides a comprehensive and revitalising wellness experience.

Plunge Pool

A plunge pool with ice-cold water guarantees an immediate, intensive effect after the Finnish sauna. The body is gradually immersed from the feet to the head. The application has a toning effect, causing blood vessels to contract and the skin to become firmer. A plunge pool is the ideal solution for rebalancing bodily functions after exposure to heat.
