In the guests-only Saunalounge Benizuru, you can enjoy self-löyly and Bluetooth music in a private sauna space designed for the ultimate relaxation.

Surrounded by the sound of the river and birdsong in pristine nature, you can lose yourself in an overwhelming sense of immersion and forget the everyday.
