Banya No.1 features: authentic steam sauna, plunge pool,
hot stone and treatment rooms and a fully licensed lounge bar with traditional food & drinks.

Traditional Steam Room

Traditional Steam Room

A traditional Banya generates superheated steam as water is splashed onto a tonne of cast iron heated to 700°C inside an authentic brick furnace.  Although the banya’s temperature (70°C) is lower than in a sauna the high levels of superheated steam cause the body to sweat profusely and then detoxify.

Icy Plunge Pool

The plunge pool is a chilling 7-10°C which counteracts the heat of the steam room. Close your eyes, breathe in, pull the rope and you are drenched in ice-cold water. The sudden change of temperature has a highly beneficial effect on the body – toxins are released, and a feeling of relief and tingling lightness follows shortly afterwards.

Bucket Showers

Bucket Showers

Additionally to the Plunge Pool there are wall mounted and plumbed-in oak buckets full of fresh water. The sudden change of temperature has a highly beneficial effect on the body.

Hot Stone Room
