Sauna – A new experience for a more complete wellness journey at Silk Sense

In today’s fast-paced life, people increasingly fall into states of stress. Busy work schedules, job pressure, and the pull of technology keep us constantly “on the go.” The body can become fatigued, the mind easily tense, and sometimes sleep is no longer restful. Therefore, modern wellness travel is no longer just about visiting a beautiful place, taking a few photos, and leaving; it has become a journey to restore balance, care for health, and rejuvenate the spirit.

Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort understands this need of its guests. With the orientation as a green, considerate resort brimming with natural energy, Silk Sense continuously expands experiences to make your stay more complete. Recently, Lotus Spa at Silk Sense has officially introduced a Sauna room, a globally renowned wellness therapy, to offer you a truly distinctive wellness journey.

Sauna: A globally loved wellness therapy

Sauna originates from Northern Europe, especially Finland, where people consider it a part of their living culture. The Finns have an old saying, “Jos ei viina, terva tai sauna auta, tauti on kuolemaksi,” loosely translated as: “If… sauna cannot help, then the illness is unlikely to be cured by any other means.” Sauna is not just a habit but a ritual that cares for both body and mind, while also strengthening community bonds.

Today, Sauna has become a widely practiced wellness method around the world. From high-end spas in Europe, tropical resorts in Asia, to wellness rooms in modern households, Sauna is recognized as a secret to healthy and long life.

There are various types of Sauna, among which the dry Sauna is the most common and preferred. The principle of a dry Sauna is to heat Sauna stones, then pour water over them to create hot steam that spreads throughout the space. Temperatures are usually maintained between 70 – 100°C with low humidity, allowing the body to gradually adapt and self-regulate.

In the Sauna space, the body begins to sweat, pores expand, helping to eliminate toxins and impurities. The heart rate slightly increases, blood circulation is stimulated, and the entire nervous system gradually “slows down,” entering a state of deep relaxation.

Medical studies worldwide have proven that Sauna provides numerous benefits:

• Stress relief: High temperatures stimulate the body to produce endorphins, the happiness hormone, helping the mind feel light and refreshed.
• Improved blood circulation and cardiovascular health: The dilation of blood vessels during a Sauna session can support heart health, lower blood pressure, and enhance oxygen transport.
• Immune system boost: The rise in body temperature mimics a “mild fever,” stimulating the production of more white blood cells to fight off bacteria.
• Supports deep sleep: After a Sauna session, the body is fully relaxed, making it easier to fall into a natural and more restful sleep.
• Skin care: Sweating helps cleanse the skin deeply, removing dirt and dead cells, resulting in smooth, radiant, and refreshed skin.

It is no coincidence that the Sauna is so popular and loved. It is truly a natural, safe, and effective therapy for both body and mind.

Sauna room at Lotus Spa – A must-try experience for your stay at Silk Sense

At Lotus Spa – Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort, the newly designed Sauna room offers guests the most authentic sauna experience.

Space & Technology

The Sauna space is cozy yet airy, featuring natural wood construction that retains heat steadily and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Modern dry Sauna technology ensures stable and safe temperature control, suitable for both domestic and international guests.

Guest experience

Stepping into the Sauna room, you will feel gentle heat envelop your body. Every drop of sweat carries away stress and fatigue. Your heartbeat slows, your breathing deepens, and your mind reaches a state of calm. After 15 – 20 minutes in the Sauna, you can combine it with a massage or herbal soak at Lotus Spa to double the relaxation effect.

Why does Silk Sense choose dry Sauna?

Among various Sauna types, dry Sauna is most suitable for Central Vietnam’s climate, where outdoor temperatures are already high and humidity is significant. The dry Sauna helps guests to feel more comfortable and at ease without a sense of “stifling.” This careful choice ensures that every guest, regardless of nationality, can fully enjoy a complete and relaxing experience.

A sauna session becomes even more memorable when combined with other experiences at Silk Sense.
