New Addition: Spa Sauna at Walkersons Hotel & Spa

Elevate Your Wellness Experience

We are delighted to introduce a brand-new feature at Walkersons Spa: our luxurious sauna. Designed to complement your spa experience, the sauna is the perfect addition to our rejuvenating environment – especially in the chilly winter months. Take a look!

Benefits of the Sauna

Saunas have been used for centuries in many cultures for relaxation, therapeutic purposes and enhancing overall health. Using a sauna is thought to have numerous health benefits, including:

• Detoxification: Sweating helps eliminate toxins from your body.
• Improved circulation: Heat promotes better blood flow, which can improve cardiovascular health.
• Muscle relaxation: Warmth soothes sore muscles and can alleviate joint pain.
• Stress relief: The peaceful environment of the sauna helps reduce stress and promote mental well-being.

The added luxury of the sauna to our well-established spa offers a new tranquil space where you can unwind, detoxify, and rejuvenate your mind and body. Whether you’re seeking a soothing escape after a day of exploring Dullstroom or simply looking to enhance your spa day, our sauna is the ideal retreat.

The sauna is available exclusively to hotel guests and groups booking our Revive Package.

The Scandinavian Secret to Living Longer

Many people believe that regular use of a sauna is the secret to increasing life expectancy and reducing the risk of all kinds of diseases. The high temperatures and humidity of saunas cause the body to produce heat shock proteins (HSPs) which help to repair and protect cells. Several studies including one published in the Journal of American Medical Association found that regular sauna use was associated with reduced risk of premature death from all causes!

Usage Recommendations

While sauna use has loads of potential health benefits, it’s good to remember that the high temperature and humidity means you will need to replenish fluids lost by sweating to avoid dehydration.

Pregnant women and people with certain cardiovascular medical conditions should also consult their doctor beforehand.

Follow these safety tips and you should be just fine:

• Drink plenty of water before and after sauna use to stay hydrated.
• Limit sessions to 10-15 minutes at a time to avoid overheating.
• Take breaks between sauna sessions to cool down and hydrate.
• Avoid alcohol and drugs before using a sauna, as they impair your ability to regulate temperature and increase the risk of dehydration.
• Consult a doctor before using a sauna if you have any medical concerns.

Enhancing Your Spa Day

The new sauna perfectly complements our existing range of spa treatments. Consider starting or ending your spa day with a session in the sauna to maximise the benefits of your massage, facial, or other treatments. Our expert therapists are available to guide you on the best ways to incorporate the sauna into your wellness routine.

We invite you to visit Walkersons Hotel & Spa and experience the luxurious new addition to our wellness offerings. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a returning visitor, the Walkersons Spa sauna promises to add a new dimension of relaxation to your stay.
