Came here for the 'kurbad' (spa) and was not disappointed. I was a bit turned off at first because of the price tag, but you know those days when you need to sweat and sit still and soak and do some body maintenance and just be GOOD to yourself?
163kr well-spent. When you buy your trip to the spa here, you put your stuff in a locker (these are tricky for first time visitors!), rinse yourself off, and have a flurry a things to try out. My favorite is the Dead Sea salt pool, which, by the way, you should NOT go into if you have recently shaved. Holy burning, batman. It's 18% seasalt, and you float so much you have no choice but to chill out and relax. A great place to start. :)
There are two saunas (one salt/infrared, the other regular and HOT), and they run saunaguses just about hourly, which is very fun (and even hotter). There is also a hot tub, a steam room, massage chairs, and free ice to suck on when you get overheated.
Don't forget a water bottle!
On your way back into the locker rooms, there are lovely attendants there to offer you some salt and oil to scrub with, and two hours later, you leave feeling soft, cleansed, well taken care of, and probably a little dehydrated.
Pro-tip: electrolytes are your friend after a trip here. read more
