A sauna is available in both the men's and the ladies changing rooms. A larger mixed sauna as well as a steambath, are also available by the pool.

 The Ideal way to take your sauna:

Try this first, and once you've tried it out, you can change it to suit your taste:

• Start by taking a shower. This helps to keep the hot room clean.
• Enter the sauna and sit on the upper bench. You may want to use a small towel to sit on.
• Sit back for a few minutes and let the heat permeate your body and open the pores of the skin.
• You may adjust the air moisture by throwing water on the stones of the heater. The steam will make the room feel hotter.
• Step into the changing room to cool down, maybe take another shower.
• You may go back to the heat a few times, taking your time to relax and enjoy the warmth.
• Finally shower to clean yourself from the sweat.
• Allow yourself to cool and dry properly before clothing yourself.
• Follow the sauna with a peaceful rest and a drink.

To get the most of the sauna, you will need:

• At least half an hour of time, preferably an hour or more, so you have ample time to relax.
• A large towel to dry yourself

You may also want to consider these:

• A smaller towel to sit on
• A moisturising lotion for after the sauna
• A bathrobe to wear while cooling down

The temperatures in a sauna are of the order of 60 to 100 degrees Celsius. The air can be relatively dry, or water can be sprinkled over the stones to increase humidity. The air must never be completely dry, however, since it could be harmful to the respiratory system.

Splashing water on the benches has a cooling effect, since the evaporating water will take heat out of the air.

A cool, refreshing shower during or after the sauna completes your relaxation

 How long can I stay in there?

Enjoying a sauna is a personal thing, you should always listen to your body and do as you feel best. For a first time we would suggest you stay in for a few minutes, depending on the temperature. After cooling down for a few minutes, go into the sauna again and stay a bit longer, maybe five to ten minutes. When you feel like having another break, feel free to do so.

 How many times a week can I use the sauna?

If you are reasonably healthy, you can bathe in a sauna as often as you like without worrying about health effects. As with showering, taking saunas very often may dry your skin, so you may want to use a moisturising lotion after a sauna.

 Why take a Steambath?
 
A steambath refreshes - deep cleans and moisturizes the skin for a healthy glow. It relaxes tight, overworked muscles, reduces aches and pains in joints and relieves congestion. It rejuvenates the body, and revitalizes the mind. It conserves water too - an average steambath consumes less than one gallon. A personal steambath is an affordable luxury that will improve the quality of your life in ways you can only imagine.
