No beach holiday is complete without a visit to our award-winning spa in Pattaya, Cliff Spa. Whether you’re visiting our coastal city for a weekend getaway or a lengthy vacation, the unparalleled offerings at this sanctuary of holistic relaxation is a must-experience. From our extensive range of top-tier treatments to our serene ambience with premium amenities like our sauna in Pattaya, it’s an absolute haven for those seeking comprehensive rejuvenation from the toils of daily life. Presently, we have three exclusive locations on the Royal Cliff Hotels Group property for you to enjoy – one at the Royal Wing Suites & Spa, Royal Cliff Grand Hotel and Fitz Club Pattaya. 

What is a Sauna?

A sauna is a simple, wood-paneled room heated to temperatures between 150°F and 195°F (65°C to 90°C). Within a sauna, you will normally find a section dedicated to a collection of hot stones. Containers of water are usually found near these stones so that sauna-goers may pour water onto them to create more steam in the room. The point is to stimulate sweat as a form of therapy to promote skin health, ease pain in the muscles and joints, reduce stress, and improve cardiovascular activity. 

Sauna vs Steam Room – How Is It Different?

People often use the term ‘sauna’ and ‘steam room’ interchangeably, but they do have differences. A sauna uses dry heat produced by wetting hot rocks to induce sweat, while a steam room produces moist heat through steam released from boiling water. This contrast in heat sources results in different levels of humidity, with saunas maintaining a lower humidity of about 5-10%. Though overall, both places provide the same benefits as their purpose is to make you sweat. It’s just a matter of preference on how a person would like to achieve the result.

Benefits of Using The Sauna

Sauna bathing offers advantages for both physical and mental health. Using the sauna regularly can:

• Enhance blood circulation throughout the body, supporting optimal heart function by improving blood flow to all organs. 
• Promote natural skin cleansing through sweating and dead cell removal, which results in firmer-looking skin. 
• Aid muscle recovery by expanding your blood vessels and softening tense muscles. The improved blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to sore muscles, helping them recover faster. 
• Serve as an effective stress management tool as it promotes the release of endorphins, improving mental clarity and relaxation.

Things To Know Before Using a Sauna in Pattaya

While sauna bathing is beneficial for both body and mind, it’s important to approach this wellness practice with proper preparation.

• Avoid eating for at least two hours before going into the sauna. When you eat, your body directs blood flow to your digestive system to process food. However, in a sauna, the intense heat forces blood to flow toward your skin instead. This competing demand for blood flow is why it’s important not to use the sauna shortly after eating. It may cause discomfort or harmful side effects like regurgitation.
• Before entering a sauna, remove all jewelry. The high temperature of the room can heat the metal and burn your skin. Keep your belongings safe in your designated locker.

When using the sauna, it is recommended that your routine involves several 5-10 minute sessions, each followed by a rinse with room-temperature water. You can repeat this three times. Allow your body to cool naturally between sessions before taking a final shower. You can also enhance skin benefits from the sauna by exfoliating during your shower, removing dead skin cells from your pores.

Things To Be Mindful of When Using the Sauna

While using the sauna offers numerous health benefits and is generally accessible for all age groups, it’s important for people with certain health conditions to take careful consideration. Those with underlying health conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, or conditions involving stenosis should practice caution. The intense sweating induced by sauna sessions could potentially make these medical conditions worse and result in harmful side effects such as dizziness or loss of consciousness.
