There are two outdoor saunas steps away from the ocean its sauna-masters are knowledgeable and the sessions were accompanied by different aromatherapy oils. Includes free foot scrub treatment and a body scrub as well as the whisking (which is basically hitting you with leaves, like banya) to aid circulation.
The location on the beach is lovely and secluded and the facilities are sweet. Showers, deck chairs and a fire. Snacks, drinks and a light dinner (soup) were provided.

Good to know
Yin yoga has restorative and meditative elements to it and is practiced by all types of bodies. It's on the floor whilst you are cuddled by pillows blankets and plenty of body support. It helps release water tension in the fascia by creating controlled compresion of the joints and stimulating specific channels of communication according to Chinese Medicine.This will be the last activity of the day to send you back home or to your hotel walking on clouds. So is importamt that you plan a relaxing transition after 7.30pm when we finish.
Sauna - we recomend you have a hearty breakfast as early as you can to take full benefit of the sauna effects in the body. Drink at least 2 liters of water before noon. Also avoid any type of sugar, caffeine and alcohol 1-2 days before. This is to maximise your hydration. Please bring 2 towels or a towel and a sarong, your own bottle as we will refill it through out the day. Preganant, or low blood pressure? No worries, you can still enjoy an alternative mini sauna with body scrub and plenty of chilling time in our private sunbathing area @Beachboxsauna for 2 hours.
1/2 Day retreat - pack light, a sarong or towel, sunscreen, hat and a scarf as it sometimes gets windy.
