In autumn and winter, warm and invigorate yourself with Elamus SPA’s new sauna rituals

The warming summer sun is caressing us with its last rays and the weather is slowly cooling, bringing a crisp autumn. What could be better than invigorating your body and mind in a warm sauna, enjoying sauna rituals led by sauna masters? In autumn and winter Elamus SPA is expanding both the selection and the frequency of the rituals it holds, because visitors increasingly appreciate enjoying the sauna in a varied way and taking part in guided sauna rituals.

Elamus SPA

On the Elamus SPA side you will find several sauna rituals suitable for the whole family. The temperature range of the saunas is very wide, starting from the 42-degree Japanese bath and ending with a 100-degree sauna. It is pleasant to entrust yourself to a sauna master’s care for 12–15 minutes, forget the thoughts of the day and simply be. The hotter rituals suit true sauna gourmets. Among the beauty treatments you can take part in the honey scrub ritual, and meditative aroma journeys nourish the soul.

Sauna pleasures can be enjoyed in nine distinctive saunas independently or at sauna rituals guided by sauna masters. There is an abundant selection of rituals – either body-pampering and beauty-bringing, meditative, or hot ones that heat the body up.

Spa21+ Sauna Rituals

Aroma journeys take you on a meditative path

The keywords of the aroma journeys are meditation, breathing and relaxation. They take place in a low-temperature sauna, where with eyes closed you sense different aromas and enjoy the alternation of hot and cold that the sauna master creates with fans and sprays. The aim of the ritual is to take visitors far into their own thoughts and thereby relax both mentally and physically.

The Aroma Journey in the Forest is like a walk in a spring forest, where you feel nature sprouting, leaves caressing you and the senses calming.

The Aroma Journey in Freshness cleanses the airways, gives extra energy and makes you feel alive.

The Aroma Journey in the Meadow creates a calm mind amid the scent of flowers and helps body and mind relax.

The sound journey takes you on a path through sounds

The sound ritual is a very slow-paced meditation ritual. During the ritual participants are taken on a journey – from Tibet to Scandinavia, through Estonian forests and across the stormy Baltic Sea. The whole ritual takes place in complete silence, and the only sounds that gently caress the ears are the instruments with which the sauna master supports each part of the journey.

Sauna treatments bring beauty

Beauty gourmets can enjoy beauty-bringing treatments.

At the honey scrub ritual you can, in a low-temperature sauna, exfoliate your skin silky soft with various mixtures and nourish it with sweet honey.

In the shea butter treatment, shea butter, known as Africa’s gold, nourishes the skin with fatty acids and vitamins A, E and F, and the massage movements demonstrated by the sauna master ensure a youthful look for everyone.

Hot sauna rituals for the true sauna lover

In the hot saunas you can enjoy a proper steam that impresses even the greatest sauna lover. After all, a hot sauna together with whisking has been uniquely characteristic of Estonians since the time of our ancestors.

At the Magic of Whisks sauna ritual, against a background of relaxing music, the sauna master introduces different whisks, their aromas and their touch.

At the Power of Steam ritual, a gradual increase in heat activates the metabolism and relaxes the muscles. As a bonus, you can let loose and go through a little cooling-off.

For especially great sauna gourmets, or why not for those getting to know sauna rituals for the very first time, there is the chance, by ordering in advance, to experience both private whisking and private rituals led by the sauna masters.
