Question from our reader Marc L. What time is best to go?
Even my mum who is not a fan of the Finnish sauna enjoys the ritual atmosphere and thus can stand the heat during the ritual. Otherwise she would not go to that sauna and would choose other saunas instead. Each Finnish sauna ritual takes approx. 10 minutes, there's really cool music on, and a wellness staff member does different moves with a towel to send even more heat your way. Each ritual also has a certain essence (lavender, honey, cinnamon, cherry etc. ) so it feels even more sensual. In the middle of the ritual everyone will get ice to cool down and then the staff continues with even stronger towel moves. Sometimes there's a girl, sometimes a guy doing the ritual. Once we were lucky and a guy with really nice body was doing the ritual so I could not stop staring. It even added to the whole already very luscious atmosphere 🙂 Just so you understand, there's more people (other guests) during the ritual and anyone can leave if they don't feel ok. I usually sit in a lotus position with my hands in mudra and completely breathe in the atmophere.
9. Indoor pools with water jets The indoor relaxing pool has different water jets. You can stand or sit next to them and get a free massage. I always try to massage my neck, back and even belly and tighs when in the pool. Water massage does feel great. 10. Indoor pool with waves If sitting in a hot thermal water pool gets too boring, you can have some fun in the wave pool. Usually it's mostly kids and men there jumping in the waves. So much fun to look at them even if you don't go to the pool yourself. When the waves are not on, you can swim in the pool. with no waves the pool is great for swimming Here you can find a video from my visit to Thermalpark Sirava Wellness. It's in Slovak language so if you don't understand it, just watch how it looks like in there 🙂 For more details, check out Thermalpark Sirava website. And for more information about the area, head to Kosice region website. Thermalpark Sirava Wellnes is located in the Kosice region in Eastern Slovakia. If you are into UNESCO site, there's quite a few of them not far from Thermapark.
If you are there with your partner, you can use the sauna just for the two of you… 7. Outdoor pool with hot water The 2 outdoor pools with hot thermal water are open all year long, the colder water pool for swimming just in summer. In winter time I always go to the outdoor hot pool once we arrive to the Thermalpark. Always the outdoor hot pool with amazing view of the Sirava is the first thing I do after putting the bikini on and taking a shower. I go there first because my hair is still completely dry when we arrive. I wouldn't like to get sick with wet hair in cold weather. But you can also take a hat with you to protect your head. It's so cool to sit in hot water while it's cold outside. 8. Outdoor sunbeds If the weather allows, you can even sunbathe on the outdoor sunbeds in summer months. That's another added benefit, right? To be honest I usually don't visit the Thermalpark Sirava in summer as often as in winter and now it was the first time I could lie on a sunbed there. It was perfect to enjoy the Sun during the day, and then when it got colder and cloudy, go to sauna.

In addition to single day admission, Aqualuna (Terme Olimia) offers several packages with overnight stay in one of the resort hotels as well as entrance to Aqualuna and the thermal spa. How to get to Aqualuna? Aqualuna is located in a small town called Podčetrtek which is close to the Croatian border. The driving distance from Ljubljana is about 115 km and from Zagreb 77 km. If you arrive by local bus, you can get off the bus on the main road just a few hundred metres from the entrance. Terme Čatež d. d. Terme Catez is probably one of the best place for families with kids to visit in Slovenia. The place has a great outdoor water park with lots of different pools, slides and activities for children. On rainy days and in the winter season, Catez has a great indoor area with pools, Jacuzzi, slides and fun areas for kids. Both outdoor and indoor aqua park are open for day visitors but if possible you should arrange a visit with an overnight stay since Catez has lots of interesting things to offer.
I always plan my whole wellness stay there based on the ritual times. Wouldn't like to miss a sauna ritual there. *Because of other guests and heat damaging the camera, I don't have any photos from the sauna rituals. 4. Views One of the things I love the most about Thermalpark Sirava is the views. Did I mention it's built by the Zemplinska Sirava dam, hence the name? You can observe the quiet dam from the outdoor pools, and even from the relaxing area in the Wellness. Once I finish my sauna session and take a shower, I lie down on a bed, cover myself with a blanket and stare out of the window observing birds, the dam and hills on the horizon. Huge windows in the Wellness relaxing area was a great idea! Aw, and there's really cool ball lamps changing colors when it starts to get dark. It feels even more romantic then! TIP when in the Wellness relaxing zone: If you look closely, you can spot the Rock of Snina mount (called Sninsky kamen in Slovak) on the horizon. It's the most-known mount in the area situated in the Vihorlat mountains.
