Banya No.1

Discover your path to deep restoration through one of curated banya experiences, each designed to reset the body and quiet the mind. Every visit begins with the Aroma Steam Ceremony, where a fragrant blend of wormwood, linden, chamomile, peppermint, and St. John’s wort guides you into your journey. Between these opening and closing rituals, there is a rhythm refined by centuries: hot, cold, rest, repeat. Each Banya session is sealed with a Sardinian Foot Bath, infused with local botanicals, and a meditative Herbal Tea Ceremony.  

1.5 HOURS · ONE GUEST

One guest, ninety minutes, the banya entirely yours. The banya master opens with Aroma Steam Ceremony, then guides you through heat, cold and rest. At the centre is a 15-minute Classic Parenie: a fresh venik of oak, birch or eucalyptus used to draw hot steam around the body. The journey ends with a fragrant herbal tea on the terrace and a foot bath with warm magnesium salt, soda and a local botanical.

A slower, herb-led counterpart to Parenie, brought by a guest Pirts Master. Latvian Pirts works with fire, water, earth and air; bundles of birch, oak, lime and maple move through the steam to traditional Latvian music. Where parenie is bright and rhythmic, Pirts is the long exhale: scent, touch, warmth and stillness held together. A deeply therapeutic, intention-based experience for life passages and shifting perspectives.

Parenie is the beating heart of the Russian banya—a ritual that transcends a simple treatment to become a profound, sensory dialogue. It is an invigorating tet-a-tet with a Steam Master, who orchestrates a mesmerizing dance of heat, steam, and the fragrant, healing sweeps of venik that anchors the soul and sharpens the senses, leaving you entirely renewed.

15 MIN ·  1 GUEST

The foundation of the Russian banya tradition: venik, steam, heat and cold contrast in their clearest form. A journey into deep humid heat, while the banya master works with birch, oak or eucalyptus branches, drawing the steam down in soft waves, holding it close, then letting it rise again. The sensation is deep, leafy and precise: heat and cold contrast make the return to warmth feel sharper and more complete.

It gives a brighter, mineral edge to the classic ritual. In the parnaya, the banya master works with venik to build and direct the steam, then introduces cool sparkling mineral water during the ritual as part of the thermal rhythm itself. The mineral water lands with a fine, bubbling texture, lifting the sensation of the steam and making the next wave of warmth feel more vivid.

It takes the heat of Classic Parenie and brings icy notes directly into the parnaya. The banya master may use different techniques: gliding two smooth blocks of ice over heated skin or rubbing with fine crushed ice in by hand. This contrast creates a sharp, controlled interruption before the steam returns.

30 MIN ·  1 GUEST

A slower, more meditative expression of the banya ritual. This is a quieter arc of warmth, scent and contrast — immersive, unhurried and deeply satisfying without becoming intense for its own sake. The edges are softer than in the more dynamic Parenie styles, but the structure is complete: heat gathers, the rhythm settles, cold contrast gives the ritual its shape, and the final return to warmth feels balanced and whole.

45 MIN ·  1 GUEST

This is the banya master’s own composition. The exact rhythm belongs to the master leading it. Each version is slightly different: you are not simply receiving a longer treatment; you are being taken through a crafted sequence, shaped by the technique, instinct and mastery of the person performing it.

Craft a shared journey that lingers in the memory—the true gem of your stay. In our comforting, private environment, you and your group can curate your own banya experience, weaving together the rituals and traditions that speak to you. Enjoy a restorative time together, defining a session that is uniquely yours.
