Sauna is having a moment. But plenty of wellness hotels worldwide have been doing the sauna thing excellently for years. There are high-tech offerings, such as RXV Wellness Village in Thailand, which has a hyperbaric chamber for skin and tissue regeneration, an infrared sauna, and a cryo sauna for extra-speedy muscle recovery.
Then there are the Finnish hotels , many of which have suites with in-room saunas, like Scaandic Pasi in Helsinki. Touted benefits of a sweat session include pain relief, deeper sleep, improved circulation and a newly glowing complexion, so working a few stints into your holiday is a no-brainer.
When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve. For more information on how we review hotels and restaurants, please look at our About Us page. Preidlhof draws both die-hard German hikers, who use the thermal waters and saunas post mountain forays, and guests like me in residence for one of the transformational wellness retreats, who barely leave the premises.
In addition to the spa itself, the seven-floor sauna tower is the property's centrepiece with multiple saunas, a steam room, a rooftop pool, and a relaxation area. It manages this sleight of hand by bridging the ancient and the innovative with an ethos that is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM but embraces cutting-edge science. In an area where wellness still means herbalism, contrast showers or hay baths, the Eriro balances tradition and metropolitan sophistication.
