Steam Baths exert heat of about 45° C with 100% air humidity, which leads to pleasant sweat making the skin smooth and tender. The advantages of the Steam Bath are care for the hair and skin and their regeneration, as well as relief for the lungs. Steam Baths have a cleaning effect too. Special materials in the premises and the aroma appropriate for the different seasons according to Aroma-therapy philosophy add special charm to the experience of the Steam Bath.

 

Healing bath with cozy warmth functioning as a sweating sauna. Heated walls and benches provide pleasant comfort. Permanent temperature of 60° C causes slow and tender body warming and a more intensive cleaning and removal of toxins. The ideal combination between aroma and calm music contributes to the full relaxation of the body and soul.


Sauna

The stay in the sauna will have a miraculous effect on your body and soul. The combination of sauna heat with ice-rubbing at certain intervals improves blood circulation and strengthens the immune system. For people working under intellectual pressure, the sauna is also a place of inspiration.

Kiva-sauna has been made of special pine timber of more then 500 years of age. Natural drying and slow growth have turned old timber into a special wood, which can usually appear only under arctic climate. Its structure is characterized by high density of wood fibers and silver-gray colour.

The Finland sauna helps the organism to free from harmful substances. It cleans the body and opens space for new strength and life.

The sauna is the ideal place to 'practice' the heart. At a temperature of about 90° C and air humidity of 15%, blood vessels are relieved and the skin gets more blood. As a result of the increased exuding of body liquids when sweating, the body is being freed from toxins. During the cooling break blood vessels narrow again, become more elastic and lead to better regulation of blood pressure.

Special Showers

The use of special showers is a recommendable procedure after Steam Baths and saunas. Water massage through side-off streams leaves a sense of re-vitalization for the body; the warm tropical rain reminds of a romantic experience in the Southern Seas that will wake your interest up; the cold water fog with thousands of icy sparkles pouring over you is a surprising but pleasant choice. All that is accompanied by special aroma and colour-therapy in a pleasant musical atmosphere.

After a cool mineral-water shower, blood pressure is being improved and the temperature raised in Steam Baths or saunas is returned back to normal.

Hydro-therapy includes using water for healing purposes. Warm water has a soothing effect on the neural system, at the same time strengthening cardiac rhythm and improving blood circulation. Hydro-therapeutic baths work against stress, free muscles from pressure and remove toxins.

Water ’Atlantis’ is a bath with high concentration of minerals and plant products. Processes running there support metabolism, remove tiredness and summon energy, have a relaxation effect and re-mineralize the skin.

Cleopatra’s Bath is for beauty, relaxation and healing. It is enriched with various cosmetic products milk, oils, special aroma substances, flowers, herbal extracts. You will sense the relaxing and strengthening effect with your body and your soul. Water temperature is about 38-40° C. Offers can vary depending on the season. Probably the most stylish and relaxing way to rediscover the ’old art of sweet laziness’ is exactly Cleopatra’s Bath. After completing the procedure, aroma-oil massage is most appropriate.

The treatment can cover an entire program with body peeling, sea alga bath with mineral salts, alga or sea mud body packing, and lymphatic drainage with locking care product. This is a de-stressing, detoxifying treatment of pure bliss and relaxation to slim, contour and remineralizes the body.

The precious stones cabin combines elements of the special stone therapy (litho-therapy), traditional Chinese medicine, therapy of reflex zones, colour and light-therapy.

Litho-therapy is based on the principle that precious stones have the ability to absorb internal vibrations. They possess various characteristic features and are built of various minerals, which make each stone unique. During therapy, these stones absorb negative energy from the body.

This is a part of a revitalizing ceremony, coming from the ’Serail’. You or your partner will spread natural mud over your bodies yourselves. Pleasant warmth (about 45° C) dries the mud out and it can spread its effect deep into the skin. Thus your body starts to free itself from toxins. After about 10 minutes, warm steam with tender smell of herbs pours into the room. The mud over your body melts again and is washed away. The secret lies in the combination of various elements: water, fire, earth and aroma air. Your skin is being thoroughly cleaned and can breath again, prepared for further procedures. We recommend massage to follow.

After body pilling by glove and soap lather on a warm and wet table, you can relax in a bath with high concentration of salts from the Dead Sea. The Floating Bath gives you an opportunity to experience a sense of lack of gravity in complete silence and darkness, taking you far from the time and space of everyday pressure. Floating is the fastest, easiest and most effective way to leave stress behind, achieving full relaxation. This procedure is completed by a warming massage of the whole body.

The town of Bansko is situated nearby the river Glazane (left feeder of Mesta River) in the north-eastern foot of Pirin, right bellow the highest and most beautiful part of the mountain.

The resort has excellent snow conditions with great snow cover from December until May. 44 Technoalpine snow cannons cover most of the slopes and make the ski season last longer. The maximum pleasure from the various ski pistes is guaranteed by 12 Kassbohrer slope maintenance vehicles. Thus the slopes offer runs and tracks for all types of skiers and will suit both beginners and experts.

 

The snowboard lovers can enjoy the first on the Balkans fun park where people from all over the world are lead by the passion of the extreme. They can build jumps suiting their taste and abilities. Every day skiers and snowboarders can take part in the competitions on the new piste on Shiligarnika. The lift and pistes operator in Bansko takes care for the maximum comfort of the skier and snowboarders with the exclusive 8-seats Gondola cabin lift by Dopplemayer, five high speed quads of the latest Doppelmayer models, one 3-seat lift by Poma, 7 drags and 10 baby drags. The total length of the lift equipment in the resort is 26 kilometers. All ski equipment can be used by one chip-card from SkiData.
