Practical tips for visitors

When to come?

Ideally in afternoon hours or evening. Weekends tend to be full, weekdays are better.

What to bring?

Towel (or 2), flip-flops, water bottle. Shower gels are usually on site.

Hydration is key

You lose a lot of fluids in saunas. Drink regularly before, during and after sauna.

Eat wisely

Don't come hungry or overly full. Light meal 1-2 hours before sauna is ideal.

Don't rush

For a complete wellness experience, count at least 2-3 hours. Rushing kills relaxation.

Keep quiet

Vital World is a relaxation space. Speak softly and respect others.

Health benefits of sauna

🫀

Cardiovascular system

Regular sauna improves circulation, lowers blood pressure and strengthens the heart. Heat shock is like cardio training for vessels.

🧠

Mental health

Endorphins released during sauna improve mood, reduce anxiety and help with insomnia.

💪

Muscle regeneration

Heat relaxes tense muscles, improves flexibility and speeds up regeneration after physical exertion.

🦠

Immune system

Fever simulation stimulates white blood cell production and strengthens the body's natural defenses.

⚠️ Warning:

Sauna is not suitable for everyone. If you have heart problems, high blood pressure or other health issues, consult with your doctor before visiting.

Wellness Center Podhájská

Modern wellness center in Podhájska is an ideal place for everyone looking for deep relaxation, regeneration and relief from everyday stress. Our center offers a wide range of treatments and services in a pleasant environment.

Sauna world

In our sauna world you will find several types of saunas to choose from according to your preferences. Finnish sauna with temperature up to 90°C is ideal for intense detoxification, while steam sauna with lower temperature and high humidity is gentler on the body. Infrared sauna uses infrared radiation for deep muscle regeneration.

Regular sauna has many positive effects on the body. It improves circulation, supports body detoxification, strengthens immune system and helps with regeneration after physical exertion. Heat stimulation also releases endorphins, which contributes to better mood and overall well-being.

Massages and treatments

Professional massages are performed by experienced masseurs who will adapt to your needs. Classic massage helps relax tense muscles and improve mobility, reflex foot massage stimulates reflex points of the whole body and supports natural body balance.

Special massages like hot stone massage using heated stones or honey massage provide a unique experience and deep regeneration. Each massage is designed to maximize relaxation and support the body's natural regenerative processes.

Balneotherapy with thermal water

We use the beneficial effects of thermal water in various wellness treatments. Pearl baths stimulate skin and circulation with gentle air bubbles, herbal baths with natural extracts have calming and relaxing effects.

Carbonated baths containing carbon dioxide support heart and vessel function, improve circulation and can help with regeneration. Whirlpool baths combine beneficial water heat with gentle massage of water jets, leading to deep muscle relaxation and overall relaxation.

Recommendations for visitors

For maximum wellness center experience, we recommend planning your visit during quieter times – ideally on weekdays in the afternoon or evening. Weekends tend to be full, which can affect the comfort of your visit.

Don't forget sufficient hydration – in saunas the body loses large amounts of fluids, so it's important to drink water or herbal teas regularly. Ideally come with light food in stomach – not hungry, but not overly full either.
