Holiday homes with sauna

There are different types of saunas, each with its own characteristics and benefits. Generally, our holiday cottages in the Ardennes are equipped with the following types of saunas:

• Finnish sauna: A traditional sauna, usually made of wood, with a wood burning or electric stove. Finnish saunas can be located indoors or outdoors.
• Infrared sauna: Infrared heats the air, allowing for a faster temperature increase than in a traditional sauna. It is often smaller and installed inside the holiday home.
• Steam sauna: The steam sauna is similar to a hammam; it uses steam to produce heat. It enhances the therapeutic benefits of your session.
• Dry sauna: Unlike a steam sauna, it uses dry heat to warm the air. For people who don't like humidity, it's more comfortable.

The ideal sauna temperature generally depends on the type of sauna. Finnish saunas are recommended at a temperature of 70 to 100°C. Infrared and steam saunas, on the other hand, are kept at lower temperatures, ranging between 40 and 60°C.

A sauna is experienced at a high temperature, generally between 70 and 100°C with low humidity, compared to a hammam, where the temperature ranges from 40 to 60°C with high humidity. Their respective materials also differ. Saunas are typically made of wood, while hammams are generally made of marble or stone. The hammam is particularly beneficial for the respiratory system and skin.

Sauna rental is almost always included in the rental price of your holiday home. To be sure, we invite you to consult the "Wellness" section of the detailed description as well as the price breakdown, which also specifies the type of sauna available in your chosen holiday home. If no additional charges are listed for sauna use, then it is indeed included in the price!
