Russian Sauna or Steam House (Banya)
A great addition to any wedding or business meeting
Our newly constructed Russian Pine, log bath house promises to provide a unique form of relaxation for our business and vacation clientele. The health and healing powers of this traditional steam bath or Banya have been well documented in Russian culture, but few have experienced it in North America.
The essence of the Banya is steam, wet moist steam, not the hot dry steam associated with a traditional sauna. The longer you can stay in the Banya, the better; and the more you sweat, the better the experience. Most Russians use a Banya at least one day a week and believe that the experience is particularly important for preventive maintenance of good health and balance in the body.
Guests will be encouraged to use the facility as Russians do, as a meeting place to talk and socialize. Up to 10 people can feed the hot stones and sit on the tiered benches in our Banya. It’s the perfect way to unwind after an agenda packed business meeting, a family function or wedding rehearsal. Consider a Russian Banya, steam or bath house in your wedding or business meeting planning in Nova Scotia. Both are available with our chalet accommodation facilities.
It is important to note that the construction of a large outdoor hot tub is planned near the steam bath facility, to add yet another dimension to the meeting facilities offered at Tidal Bore Rafting Park and Cottages. |
