Sauna
Feel the heat ease impurities out of your body
As you sit or recline on one of the benches in the wooden-slatted sauna your cardio-vascular system is stimulated, causing sweat to flow freely, carrying toxins and impurities out of your body. Afterwards you will feel cleansed and invigorated and your skin feels soft and supple.
Cold water splash
A refreshing way to cool down after a sauna session
The cold water splash is a great way to cool down after a spell in the sauna – just pour it straight over your body and feel your skin tingle.
Steam room
Breathe easier with eucalyptus-scented steam
Here you will feel the thick steam, heavy with the aroma of eucalyptus milk stimulating you to breathe more deeply. It can be a great help to those with respiratory and sinus problems.
Spa pool
Pamper your weary body with jets and bubbles
Enjoy the natural pleasures of a long, warm soak in our deep spa pool, where sensual, soothing jets and soft bubbles add to your enjoyment.
Infra-red sauna
A heat therapy to soothe muscles deep down
This treatment uses deeply penetrating infra-red rays and a slow-building heat to bring relief to tired and aching muscles. It is especially effective for sports injuries and back pain, and also helps to accelerate the natural healing process.
Relaxation lounge
A tranquil comfort zone for refuelling and rest
To the rear of the Centre, looking south out over the garden, our lounge has a conservatory feeling. Big, soft cushions, chairs and beds invite you to sit or lie back in comfort, and light refreshments are available.
American hot tub
Soak yourself into open-air bliss
Bathing outdoors in gorgeously bubbly hot water, feeling the fresh air on your face and hearing the sounds of the garden and the songs of the birds as you gaze into the sky – what could be more peaceful and relaxing?
Redwood barrel sauna
Enjoying the heat closer to nature
With its charmingly rustic looks, and its proximity to the plunge pool, the barrel sauna provides the same relaxing deep heat and beneficial effects of the indoor sauna, but with the added bonus of being in the beautiful garden, only a few steps away from an invigorating al fresco cool down.
Plunge pool
The ultimate post-sauna chilling out experience
The perfect sensory accompaniment to the barrel sauna – when your skin is glowing, and sweat pours from your body, cleansing it from the inside out, nothing is as refreshing or revitalising as a plunge straight into a pool of cold water. It is a natural high that the Finns have known about for centuries.
Meditation garden
Calm and contemplation to the sounds of rustling leaves and chattering birds
Close to the heart of the city, this is a rare space of peace, tranquillity and natural beauty. Relax contentedly on the grass as your thoughts and worries gently drift away. Linger quietly amongst the flowers and shrubs. Watch the fish swimming peacefully to and fro. Meditate in these calm, natural surroundings.
Floatation room
Our floatation room offers you the chance of a blissful experience of weightless floating free from the usual demands of life.
As you are suspended in a pool of salt water which entirely supports your body you quickly achieve a sensation of weightlessness. The water is at skin temperature which means you lose the sense of the boundaries of your body. This is a deeply relaxing and pleasurable experience which has to be experienced to be believed.
Without the external sensory influences of everyday life, there is an increased secretion of endorphins, this has powerful effects on all levels of your being: the physical, the emotional, the intellectual and the spiritual, giving your mind freedom to process and let go of any stress. Free from the external distractions of the outside world, you can float your way to rejuvenation.
The floatation facility has its own outer changing room and shower cubicle for your personal use before and after your float session, giving you the perfect opportunity both to ease in and to ease out of your special floatation experience.
For more detailed information on the benefits of floating, we recommend the writings of floatation expert Michael Hutchison, author of 'The Book Of Floating' and 'The Seven Theories Of Floating'.
