Special wellness experience in winter

Special wellness experience - This is how you can make your winter vacation complete

Wellness experiences and winter retreat at Imola Hotel Platán

The wellness section of Imola Hotel Platán does not evoke the atmosphere of crowded baths, but rather a calm, refined, adult-friendly environment where relaxation can truly be undisturbed. Here, wellness experiences are not only for relaxation, but also for regeneration: they help relieve stress, relax muscles, and give you new energy.

These wellness experiences are especially meaningful during the winter season: while it is cold outside, warm lights, silence, and care await guests inside.


 

Steam bath – a wellness experience that helps you slow down

The steam bath is one of the most pleasant winter wellness experiences because it is both calming and gentle. The temperature in a steam bath is usually 40–50°C, while the humidity reaches 80%. In the warm, humid steam, sweating is slower and less strenuous, so it is also popular with those who find Finnish saunas too intense.

The effects of a steam bath are similar to those of a Finnish sauna, but it is also extremely relaxing. It is especially recommended for those who are tense, overworked, or even struggling with sleep disorders. After a steam bath, you literally feel lighter – which is why it is one of the best wellness experiences during the winter months.
 

Salt cabin – a special wellness experience for clear airways and peace of mind

The salt cabin is a real treat and one of the best elements of the winter wellness experience. The walls of the salt chamber are lined with crystal salt bricks from Himalayan salt mines, and the air is salty, clean, dust-free, and irritant-free.

The salt chamber has a strong anti-allergenic and antibacterial effect. Salt has an anti-inflammatory effect: it can help with joint inflammation and skin problems, and many people believe it has a particularly beneficial effect on blood pressure, the kidneys, the nervous system, hormone balance, and sleep quality.

The colors of the illuminated salt crystals have a particularly stress-relieving effect, which is why the salt cabin is also recommended for those who want to recharge not only physically but also mentally during their winter break. This type of quiet, harmonious relaxation is one of the best wellness experiences.
 

Kneipp treading pool – a refreshing wellness experience

The Kneipp tread pool is a wellness experience that trains the body and activates circulation at the same time. The alternating cold (12–14°C) and warm (38–40°C) baths make the walls of the blood vessels more flexible, stimulate blood circulation, and have a pumping effect on the soles of the feet and lower legs.

Correct use:

• always start with warm water (50 seconds),
• followed by cold water (10 seconds),
• repeat this 10–15 times,
• and finish with cold water.

We step on stones in the cold water, which also provides a gentle reflex zone massage, thus initiating a natural regulatory process. It calms you down in the evening and energizes you during the day – making the Kneipp treading pool a real winter favorite among wellness experiences.
 

Solar Beach – a wellness experience with a sunny atmosphere

During the winter months, our bodies have a particular need for sunlight, which is why Solar Beach is one of the most unique wellness experiences for those who want to "bring back" the power of sunshine at any time of the year.

Solar Beach helps increase the amount of vitamin D produced in the skin, which has numerous beneficial physiological effects, such as supporting calcium absorption. It also gives the skin a beautiful, healthy color and creates an atmosphere as if we were relaxing on the beach – even when it's winter outside.
 

A winter break is complete when the wellness experiences are also special

A well-structured winter wellness day not only relaxes you, but also truly regenerates you. If you want to make the most of your break, it is worth combining different wellness experiences:

• relaxing, calming experience: steam bath
• quiet relaxation: salt cabin
• refreshment, circulation boost: Kneipp tread pool
• sunshine atmosphere all year round: Solar Beach

These wellness experiences not only refresh your body, but also recharge your mind – which is especially valuable in winter.
