Namaste Spa At The Carpe Diem from the Carpe Diem Guesthouse

Namaste Spa At The Carpe Diem

Our Namaste Spa at the Carpe Diem offers a wonderful array of Spa experiences that allow you to feel the benefits of heat and cold, light and darkness, touch and aromas. From the top of your head to the tips of your toes, a complete range of massage services await you. Our licensed massage therapists use pure essential, botantical & fragance oils. All of our ingredients have been carefully selected and blended for their therapeutic and tantalizing aromas, assuring freshness and potency. Located in our outside SPA area our Hotsprings Tub offers much more than just a good hydromassage. There are three factors at work in a spa: heat, buoyancy and massage. Together, they create a relaxing, soothing experience. Immersion in hot water raises the body temperature and causes the blood vessels to dilate, increasing circulation. The buoyancy of the water reduces body weight by approximately 90%, which relieves pressure on joints and muscles and creates the relaxing sensation of weightlessness. The massaging action of a spa is created by sending a mixture of warm water and air through jet nozzles. This "energized" stream of water loosens tight muscles and stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers. The SPA is also a wonderful retreat that leaves you feeling mentally and emotionally refreshed. Our "Hamam" consists of a single chamber based on a Turkish style steam room with the characteristic Ottoman blue and yellow tiling and motifs, central water fountain and taps, and recessed bench-seats. The bath has a moist, aromatic atmosphere that is both purifying and detoxifying. The unique steam room benefits and the benefits of steam bathing have become increasingly popular in modern society. The physiology of perspiration includes how sweating helps rid the body of wastes, regulates body temperature, and invigorates our largest organ, the skin. The metabolic effects of steam baths, the positive influence of negative ions released by steam, and the more subtle spiritual and social benefits of the steam experience all contribute to a heightened sense of well-being. Medical studies show that frequent steam bathing helps reduce stress and keeps your circulatory system running smooth. Our Finnish sauna is a wood-lined cabin that provides an environment for overall mental and physical health. The Sauna offers a more extreme, dry heat than the steam room, and the heat comes from very hot rocks placed in the room. Scandinavians advise that you follow this hot, dry sauna with a quick shower of cold water - this stimulates your circulation, energises your spirit and brings your body temperature down all in one. In Scandinavia, it is quite common for a normal household to have their own sauna and to use it with family and friends. The combination of body perspiration, rest and rapid cooling stimulates circulation, reduces muscular and nervous tension, and heightens cognitive awareness. Plus, you'll enjoy a restful, sound sleep, which for most people in today's fast-paced lifestyle, is worth its weight in gold. Our guests’ journey is interspersed with relaxation time in a choice of peaceful settings. From the moment our guests begin their Spa experience, we want to ensure their comfort. Our atmosphere is soothing and enjoyable.
