What happens at a Nordic spa?
The Nordic sauna circuit at Ritual includes time in a sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool, Nordic shower, and relaxing areas such as a salt lounge and outdoor patio. Go at your own speed but most people spend 10-15 minutes in the heat, 2-5 minutes in the cold, and 5-15 minutes resting. A Nordic Spa is rooted in ancient Scandinavian traditions, blending hot, cold, and relaxation therapies to rejuvenate the body and calm the mind. These cycles, often referred to as hydrotherapy or thermal therapy, follow a structured sequence that involves alternating between heat, cold, and rest.
What is the difference between a spa and a Nordic spa?
High-end spas may have hot tubs, outdoor pools, or steam rooms and saunas, but those aren’t the spa’s focus — people are coming for one of the treatments. But at a Nordic spa, sometimes called a Scandinavian spa, the focus is on the facilities, not treatments (though those may be available). What are the most popular spa treatments? Popular choices vary by goal, but frequently booked services include oxygen facials to refresh and brighten skin, beer bath hydrotherapy for full-body relaxation, and infrared sauna sessions to encourage deep sweating.
How long should you stay in a swim spa?
As a general rule of thumb, 20-30 minutes is recommended for a balanced swim spa session, especially if the water is hot. This timeframe allows you to enjoy the benefits without overexposure to the heat. Duration of bathing depends on the temperatures of water, but generally it shall be around 3-10 minutes at one time, and can be extended to 15-20 minutes if you get used to it.
What should I wear to a Nordic spa?
