“A truly unique experience. Would come again next year JUST to do the spa. It was amazing.”

“Went to the sauna at Yoga Picnic 2026. So lovely and relaxing. And the Lithuanian sauna master/beekeeper was brilliant. The aromatherapy, whisking and the body scrub he gave us made with raw honey from his own bees was all just so lovely and relaxing. Highly recommend!”

“Such a lovely experience! Thoroughly enjoyed it, we had the pleasure of an hour with the Lithuanian sauna master who cycled us through the sauna and cold plunges! Highly recommended”

“Probably the best sauna experience ever! This was not just another sauna visit, this was a full treatment by a sauna master. Aroma oils, brushing and fanning with birch leaves, salt&honey scrub, hot tub, cold plunges, showers, etc. And the views over the lake! It's hard to describe. But I've been to many many saunas in my life, in various countries. And this was by far the most memorable and enjoyable sauna visit.”
