Weekends are fine by me
At the Spa I linked to (for non pg people anyway) there are 7 different rooms in the Spa.
Aromasteam
A hot steam room, but quite a nice temperature! Literally clear your head in our aromasteam room where a range of essential oils, such as eucalyptus and peppermint, is used to improve breathing as well as refreshing the spirit and promoting clarity of mind.
Hammam
This is the bit in the middle of all the other rooms for just relacing and chatting. A Hammam is a soft and relaxing heat, unlike the intensity of a sauna and celebrates the ritual of cleansing and relaxation. Many of the original Victorian design features including beautifully glazed brick walls and mosaic floors have been retained and restored. As you sit on heated granite benches, you can feel the stress and strain of everyday life dissappear.
Steam
Has variable heat. Coolest near the door, but gets hotter further in you go. Got very hot! Relax and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of steam. Steam baths ease stress, relieve muscle tensions and stiff joints, boost the immune system, stimulate circulation, increase body metabolism, remove toxins from the body and deep-cleanse the skin.
Sauna
Dry heat and hot! Fans of the dry heat bath report feelings of peace and contentment as well as physical rejuvenation. Exposure to high heat causes sweating, stimulating the body?s immune system to fight minor illness. It increases circulation to revive tired muscles, detoxify and cleanse the skin.
Plunge Pool
OMG!!!! It was like needles sticking in you, Highest temp here is about 7 degrees. COLD!!! There is nothing more invigorating and stimulating than a dip in the plunge pool. Bathing in cold water supercharges the system, improves breathing and muscle tone and reduces fatigue. In addition cold water is also known to stimulate the release of endorphins to give you that feel-good factor.
Ice cave
Strangly quite nice! Grab handfuls of crushed ice and rub it on your body. Feels quite nice 0 until a tiny bit of ice slithers down your cossie!!! Get that tingle factor as you chill out in the ice cave. Rub ice crystals onto your skin for an exfoliating experience that will really get the circulation going! For people with aching or injured muscles, holding ice on the affected area decreases blood flow to provide immediate pain relief and reduce swelling.
Experience Shower
Forgot to try this! This amazing, multi-colour tropical rain shower is guaranteed to refresh and exhilarate after coming out of the steam rooms or sauna. Choose one of the three settings: a five-jet ?needle? shower, power jet or cold blast. As you are blasted by the water, the colours in the room change to give you an unforgettable shower experience.
There is also a relaxing room just outside the Hamman. You get complimentary hot drinks, juices or water in hear. Newspapaers and magazines to read. Chairs and tables for relaxing and gossiping really.
