A high-temperature dry sauna with a solid wave of heat, and a medium-temperature dry sauna wrapped in gentle warmth. Choose whichever suits your mood that day, and in the spacious, quiet room, sit with yourself while working up a pleasant sweat. Once your body is thoroughly heated, head straight to the cold plunge nearby.
