About 2.5 hours, in five steps.

ceremony · 01–05

  1. Warming & Awakening

    We gently warm your body with steam and eucalyptus branches. As you relax and begin to sweat, you ease into the ceremony. A cool shower, herbal tea, and a moment of rest follow.

  2. Steam Cloud

    The temperature gradually rises as we work with deeper steam around your body. A traditional banya hat and cool water help keep your head comfortable throughout the experience.

  3. Honey & Salt Ritual

    A traditional honey and salt treatment gently exfoliates your skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.

  4. Eucalyptus Venik Ritual

    The Banya Master works individually with each guest using fragrant eucalyptus branches. The warmth and rhythmic movements help release tension and create a deep sense of relaxation.

  5. Cold Immersion

    The ceremony concludes with an optional brief immersion in cold water, followed by time to relax in the hot tub or relaxation room.
