Hot Springs & Spa Retreats

Spa rituals and warm-water soaks for a slower, more restorative trip.

Wellness Travel Highlights

One spa ritual worth knowing about is Aufguss. Instead of a casual sit in the sauna, a trained sauna master guides the whole session with towel work, scented essences, and timed bursts of heat, so it plays out as a structured experience rather than a casual visit.

Othership in Toronto and Priedlhof in Italy are two venues running Aufguss sauna rituals.
