Have you tried our Infra-red Sauna?
Did you know we have an infra-red sauna in the thermal suite at the Ocean Spa? Lots of people don’t know what an infra-red sauna is, so here’s a quick outline of how it’s different from a standard sauna.
First of all, if you’re someone who doesn’t like the hot sweatiness of a sauna, you’ll be delighted to know that our sauna heats your body without making the air temperature really high and sweaty. The heat from the infra-red lamps is absorbed directly by the body. There are no coals and no hissing water turning into steam and when you walk in, it won’t feel unpleasantly hot. The infra-red sauna works at a slightly lower temperature but the gentle heat penetrates the body deeply and you’ll still get the same benefits.
Both types of sauna can help with detoxification by inducing sweating which can help eliminate toxins through the skin. In fact, some people claim that the infra-red sauna is more effective at detoxifying because the heat goes deeper into your body.
In terms of being energy efficient, the infra-red sauna comes out tops as it works at a lower temperature.
The really good news is that our lovely sauna is here waiting for you to try next time you’re at the Ocean Spa. We think you’ll love it.
Use of the thermal suite is included in all our special offers.
