We have recently installed a Far Infrared Sauna at Reservoir to complement our Spa.

A traditional humid hot air sauna heats the body primarily by conduction and convection from the heated air and by radiation of the heated surfaces in the sauna room. An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared radiant heat which is absorbed by the surface of the skin.

The rays of a Far Infrared sauna do not heat the air inside the sauna, but they still heat the body. This is more suitable to persons who do not tolerate the high temperatures of traditional hot air saunas. The panels of a Far Infrared sauna can be touched because they always remain cool.

Users can enter the sauna without preheating and start to sweat after 10 minutes. Conversation, reading, viewing a video or listening to music is possible as the temperature can be adjusted to be comfortable.

The most common side effect of modern life is stress and physical exhaustion. A user of The Far Infrared sauna will immediately feel extremely relaxed in body and mind after a session. The skin will also feel clean & smooth.
