Do you want to free your body of harmful substances and relax? Then saunas are the right choice for you! Slovenia provides countless opportunities to visit saunas.

You can combine the beneficial power of saunas with delicious ingredients, which feel good if you taste them or if you feel them on your body.

Saunas and programmes that you just have to experience

Learn about the types of saunas and sauna programmes that add value to your relaxation. They are mostly based on the well-established types of saunas – Turkish, Finnish and infra-red. Either various aromas and essential oils are added to these or you apply beneficial ingredients before entering the sauna, which further stimulate the positive effects of the sauna.

Honey has many positive effects on health and wellness. In addition to honey massages, you can also enjoy honey treatments in honey saunas.

Perhaps your mouth begins to water when you hear the word "chocolate", but you can also enjoy it in a healthier way, including in the form of body wraps before entering the sauna.

Salt has a beneficial effect on the respiratory system and skin. The combination of sauna and body rubbing with salt has a soothing effect on your well-being.

Herbal saunas can be found in almost all of the major wellness centres. Steam rooms or Finnish saunas are often complemented with various herbs, sometimes grown locally.

A therapeutic mud body treatment and sauna. A great combination for a nice, healthy appearance and well-being.

A sanarium or biosauna is a pleasant combination of a Finnish sauna and a steam room, which makes you feel like you are in a tropical rainforest. Moderate humidity and temperature ensure that you have a pleasant sauna experience.

If you do not have any serious medical problems, a visit to a crystal sauna can be an interesting experience. It works by using the effects of negative ions.

Did you know that light and colours also have a strong effect on your road to health and wellness? Chromotherapy, i.e. colour therapy, is also used to great effect in some saunas.

Unlike other saunas, the caldarium, i.e. Roman sauna, is intended for socialising, conversations, and preparing to continue with the sauna experience. The temperature is considerably lower than in other saunas.
