Guide for Hydrothermal Experience
The most important rule of thermal bathing is to allow time for your body temperature to cool and normalise after using a warm hydrothermal experience. Body cooling can be accelerated by using the various showers on offer and the Ice Igloo. Please refrain from using the Vitality Pool and any form of plunge pool after taking a warm room treatment.
A period of passive relaxation on a lounger is always recommended to complete the therapeutic process. The greatest benefits are achieved when the bather adheres to these rules and guidance from your Hydrothermal Host. Guests who do not adhere to them run the risk of physiological harm.
For your comfort and as a courtesy to others we ask all our guests to keep all valuables and jewellery in their assigned lockers, to shower thoroughly to remove all residues of cosmetics and deodorants prior to their hydrothermal therapy.
Guests who are, or think they are pregnant, had a stroke, suffering high blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension and heart conditions or any other medical complication are advised to consult their doctors before any hydrothermal therapies. Children under 16 are not permitted to use the hydrothermal facility as it is not advisable to subject their developing bodies to extremes of temperature.
