What is a steam-sauna cabin?
A steam-sauna cabin is an enclosed, heated space that produces warm, moist steam to help relax muscles and encourage deep unwinding. Unlike dry saunas, steam environments maintain high humidity, which many guests find soothing for the skin and for post-activity relaxation.

Follow this simple routine to get the most from your in-room wellness session.
1) Prepare your space

- Remove jewelry and secure any devices away from heat and moisture.
2) Set your session

- Close the door fully so steam can circulate evenly.
3) Relax and breathe

4) Cool down
- Step out and cool down with room-temperature air or a lukewarm shower.

5) Repeat if desired
- If you feel good, try a second short round. Keep sessions gentle and listen to your body.
Best practices for a great (and safe) steam session
- Hydrate before and after your session.
- Keep individual sessions short; many guests prefer 10–15 minutes at a time.
- Avoid steam sessions after alcohol consumption.
- Let your body cool gradually; a lukewarm rinse is ideal.
- If you have health concerns, consult a professional before using heat-based wellness features.
