How to use it
Four sauna rounds to choose from
The sauna is yours for the whole stay and you switch it on whenever you like. If you are not sure where to start, here are four ways to do it, from the gentlest to the most serious. All four work in either apartment.
Gentle, first time
If you have never used a sauna
- Temperature
- 70-75 °C
- Each round
- 6-8 minutes
- Rounds
- 2
- Finish
- Warm
- Total time
- 30 minutes
Go in, sit on the lower bench and come out as soon as you are properly sweating. Take a lukewarm shower, drink something and wait ten minutes. Then go back in once more. Do not try to tough it out: the point is to come out wanting to go back.
The surfer
After a day in the water
- Temperature
- 80-85 °C
- Each round
- 10 minutes
- Rounds
- 3
- Finish
- Cold
- Total time
- 45 minutes
Dry heat loosens shoulders and lower back; the cold afterwards brings the inflammation down. Ten minutes in, thirty seconds in the jacuzzi or the cold shower, five minutes resting, then back in. Three times. Finish cold and drink something with electrolytes.
Classic Nordic
The full version
- Temperature
- 85-90 °C
- Each round
- 12-15 minutes
- Rounds
- 3
- Finish
- Cold
- Total time
- 55 minutes
Top bench, a ladle of water on the stones every few minutes, and out when your body asks for it. Straight into the cold, then lie down on the terrace until your pulse settles, and in again. The third round is the one you feel the next day.
For sleep
Early evening
- Temperature
- 75-80 °C
- Each round
- 10-12 minutes
- Rounds
- 2
- Finish
- Warm
- Total time
- 40 minutes
This one does not finish cold: the idea is to come out warm and let your body cool down on its own, which is what makes you sleepy. Do it an hour and a half to two hours before bed, with the lights low and no screens afterwards.
If you feel unwell, you are not on your own
Dizziness, a drop in blood pressure, palpitations: almost none of it is serious, but it is unsettling. In these apartments there is a registered nurse one phone call away, and if something happens to you in the sauna or the jacuzzi, he comes up to check on you. No hotel spa gives you that.
Drink plenty before and after, and never go in after alcohol. If you are pregnant, take heart or blood pressure medication, or have a cardiovascular condition, consult your doctor before using the sauna. Children must always be accompanied and stay in for very short periods. In an emergency, call 112.
