The revitalized spa now guides guests through a carefully curated Japanese bathing journey designed to restore both body and mind. The experience begins with an onsen-style bath heated to 42\u00b0C<\/strong>, where warmth penetrates deep into the muscles, easing tension and encouraging full-body relaxation.<\/p>\n

This is followed by access to the spa\u2019s sauna facilities, which support detoxification and improved circulation. Guests may choose between a dry sauna lined with aromatic spruce and pine<\/strong>, offering a calming, wood-scented heat, or a steam sauna<\/strong>, where humid warmth helps hydrate the skin and provides relief for the respiratory system.<\/p>\n
