The Magic of Sauna in a Green Environment
There's something special about wellness in the open air. The feeling of warm steam on your skin whilst listening to rustling leaves, the scent of fresh air mingled with eucalyptus, the sight of a lush garden as you soak in warm water — it's an experience that no indoor sauna can match.
Scientific research confirms what we intuitively know: contact with nature amplifies every wellness benefit. The Japanese concept shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) has shown that simply being in a green environment reduces cortisol by 16%.
At Sauna Delizia in Rumst, we combine private wellness with beautiful outdoor spaces that make you feel immersed in nature, just 15 minutes from Antwerp.
