Hotel in Maratea with Finnish Sauna

The sauna is a hydrotherapy treatment that takes place in a warm dry environment with air temperatures averaging around 70–90 °C and the humidity does not exceed 20%.

The sauna has very ancient origins and as the name suggests its birth is attributable to the Nordic countries.

The benefits of the sauna are many, in fact we are talking about physical benefits but also in terms of health, it helps to relax and soothe aches and pains in both muscles and joints; it reduces cellulite and improves skin tone, however the benefits go beyond that:

Thanks to the high temperatures the body sweats and consequently the impurities are eliminated from the body, furthermore the heat stimulates the circulation preventing some skin blemishes.

The sauna, associated with healthy exercise, can rid the body of impurities, ease breathing and cure mild respiratory infections
