Experiences in our wellness centre
At Sãrana Wellness, a visit is about more than heat alone. Each experience combines heat, scent, sound and ritual and has its own effect on body and mind. Together they form a rhythm of warming up, stimulating and recovering that you compose yourself.
Hammam
Warm, humid steam that slowly brings your body up to temperature. Gentler than dry heat, but at least as deep. The high humidity opens your pores and softens your skin, while your breathing naturally slows.
Ideal to ease into your day, or as a restorative ritual after a more intense sauna.
Benefits
- Activates blood circulation
- Supports the immune system
- Deeply cleanses the skin
- Relaxes muscles and joints
- Opens the airways
- Reduces stress
Aufguss sessions
Heat, scent and movement come together in one ritual. An experienced Aufguss master performs live sessions: he pours water with carefully chosen scents over the hot stones and spreads the heat with rhythmic towel techniques.
In addition, thanks to our automatic Aufguss system, you can start a session yourself every hour, at your own pace.
You will find the day's live sessions at the desk.
Benefits
- Stimulates sweating and detox
- Relaxes the muscles
- Gives new energy
- Improves breathing and focus
- Essential scents that calm or refresh
Sensory shower
Short but powerful. Soft rain, refreshing mist and cooler jets alternate, while accents of light and scents draw you into the moment. Not a classic shower, but a conscious experience.
Ideal as an in-between ritual: after a sauna it helps you cool down and recover, and ensures a fresh transition to the relaxation area.
Benefits
- Activates blood circulation
- Helps recovery after heat
- Refreshes and energises
- Boosts alertness
- Gentle transition to rest
Relaxation and nap area
Without rest, wellness loses much of its effect. Here you catch your breath: warm, soft and serene, with dimmed light and loungers that support your body.
Whether you drift off for a moment or simply lie still with your eyes closed, there is nothing for you to do here. Just exhale consciously and let the warmth work.
Benefits
- Deep physical relaxation
- Recovery of muscles and nervous system
- Helps process the effects of heat
- Reduces stress and tension
- Brings balance and inner peace
Massages & treatments
Book a massage or treatment in the morning at reception, on the day of your visit. Places are limited.

Frequently asked questions about the experiences
First time at Sãrana or still hesitating? Here you'll find the answers to the questions we get asked most often about the hammam, the Aufguss sessions, the sensory showers and your visit.
Your question not listed? Feel free to call us.
What is the difference between a hammam and a sauna?
A hammam works with warm, humid steam of around 40°C. The heat therefore feels gentler than in a classic sauna. It is a pleasant way to warm up your body slowly or to recover after a more intense sauna.
How big is the hammam?
There is a large hammam for 20 people and a small one for 4 people, both at 40°C.
What does a hammam do for your skin?
The high humidity opens your pores and softens your skin. At the same time, your breathing naturally slows.
What is an Aufguss session?
During an Aufguss session, heat, scent and movement come together. Water with selected scents is poured over hot sauna stones, after which the heat is spread through the room. This makes the sauna feel temporarily much more intense.
When are the Aufguss sessions?
Our Aufguss sessions normally take place every day at 2 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm and 8 pm, including Sundays. That way you can enjoy a wonderful heat session both during the day and in the evening. The programme may change depending on circumstances. On arrival, check the current overview so you know which sessions are taking place that day.
Do I have to book an Aufguss session?
No, you don't need to book for an Aufguss session. Gather at the Event sauna a few minutes before the start. The Aufguss master welcomes you there and takes the group inside.
What is a sensory shower?
A sensory shower combines water, different temperatures, light and scent. It is ideal as an in-between ritual after a sauna: you cool down, refresh your body and prepare the transition to a moment of rest.
Are the experiences included in the admission price?
How do I book a massage?
Massages and treatments are booked in the morning at reception, on the day of your visit. Places are limited.
Is Sãrana a naturist wellness centre?
Yes, Sãrana is generally a naturist wellness centre. On Wednesdays and Saturdays we hold a swimwear day and you do wear swimwear. You'll find more practical information on the swimwear days.
What are the opening hours of Sãrana Wellness?
From Monday to Sunday you are welcome from 10.30 am to 10.30 pm. When you make your booking, you choose a time slot for your arrival. After that you can stay as long as you like, until closing time.
What should I bring to the wellness centre?
Two towels (a large one to lie on, big enough for your whole body, and a small one to dry yourself), flip-flops and a bathrobe. Prefer not to bring them yourself? With us you can rent a bathrobe or towel pack for € 9, and buy flip-flops for € 9. Everything together in one linen pack costs € 24. See all prices.
