This approach to living combines a connection to nature, a healthy lifestyle and mindfulness; finding synergy between physical, mental, emotional and social being. In our unique, Nordic-inspired Snow Grotto, cold snow and chilled air create an invigorating experience in a serene and crisp environment. When used together, our steam room and Snow Grotto ar tfully re-create the centuries-old Nordic tradition of alternating hot and cold treatments, for an exhilarating result. This tradition runs deep in Scandinavian culture, with the first wooden saunas introduced around the 5th centur y. The Thermal Pool is ideal for long, relaxing soaks that soothe the muscles and ease the mind. These are contemplative spaces reflecting the beauty of the natural world, with teak furnishings, mineral-rich black slate, fragrant juniper wood and white pigmented ash wood inspired by Yggdrasil, the fabled Tree of Life in Norse my thology. Af ter a day of exploration or during a relaxing day at sea, The Spa is a sanctuar y of Nordic wellness, and it is all included in the price of your fare. A menu of optional spa treatments is also available. Book in with one of our therapists and unwind with a deep tissue massage, uplif ting facial or one of our many other beauty treatments.
