Soft natural light streams through the small windows of the Tuli, giving a glimpse of the lively Village. The Tuli is recognizable by its hexagonal shape and fully glazed wood-burning fireplace.

- The Barik is a small, intimate, windowless, barrel-shaped sauna. The heat is felt more intensely here.
Telluric Sauna
Inspired by Nordic saunas dug into the earth, this space features a stone-topped stove and a water source. Together, they create a humidity similar to that of natural caves.
To Try in the Village
Carved into the rock, the Banya's stone walls and subdued lighting create a natural, soothing ambience. In the center, an imposing stove radiates warmth that combines with the natural humidity provided by an underground water source. Three levels of benches offer the possibility of varying exposure to heat and humidity.
Intense Heat Sauna
Constructed from wood and stone, this type of sauna benefits from natural insulation that optimizes heat accumulation. The intense heat encourages introspection and the elimination of toxins at a speed that only this level of temperature makes possible. Moreover, it greatly raises the body's heat, intensifying the thermal shock.

Carved half underground, the Maa is the Village's hottest sauna. Heated by a stone-topped stove, this dimly lit sauna can reach 100 degrees Celsius.
Ritual Sauna
Several times during the day, the whole Village comes together in this type of sauna to experience an Aufguss. Imposing stone-topped stoves are used to heat up the space, sometimes with snowballs infused with essential oils or herbal infusions.
To Try in the Village
- The Banya is where the Discovery Arboreal takes place. Water from an underground spring and herbal infusions are poured over the stones of the stove to raise the heat, which is dispersed throughout the sauna using veniks. The space can accommodate up to 40 people.
- In the Finlandia, three types of Aufguss are offered during the day. Snowballs, placed on the stones of the stove, release the fragrance of essential oils, which are dispersed throughout the room by towel movements. The space can accommodate up to 60 people.
Steam Sauna
In a steam sauna, also known as a hammam, steam mixed with essential oils creates a dense atmosphere. In addition to giving the impression of being in a cloud, this hot steam clears the respiratory tract. The temperature of the humid air, which varies between 40 and 50°C, makes you feel warm differently.
