Before your visit
Here we have gathered some information about what is good to know when you visit us at Asia Spa.
This is how a visit to Asia Spa works:
Upon arrival at Asia Spa, you’ll be warmly welcomed and given a brief introduction. You’ll be provided with a yukata (a traditional Japanese robe) and slippers. This is the dress code throughout the spa and should be worn over your swimwear as you move around our facilities.
If you’re staying at the hotel, we kindly ask you to change into your yukata and slippers in your room, with your swimwear underneath. Swimwear is required whenever you are bathing or using the shared areas of the spa.
At the spa reception, you’ll also be given a basket with a mug, a washcloth and a towel. Carry it with you as you explore the spa, making it easy to stay hydrated and dry off between each experience.
Below you can already read about what to experience at the spa, and how to get the most out of your stay.
Japanese Ablution and changing
Begin your spa journey in the washing room. Take a seat on a wooden stool and fill a bucket with warm water. Gently pour the water over your body, then use your washcloth to cleanse yourself thoroughly with soap and water. Take your time and rinse away not only the soap, but also any tension, negativity and worries. The cleansing ritual is designed to purify the body, while the warm baths help restore the mind and soul.
The washing rooms are separate for women and men. We recommend completing the cleansing ritual without swimwear. Afterwards, put on your swimwear, yukata and slippers before continuing to the rest of the spa.
Room for rest & relaxation
After the cleansing ritual, we invite you to continue your spa journey in our relaxation areas. Discover Surya and our Orangery, where floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural light, creating the perfect setting to unwind.
Furthermore, you will find Peacock House, which is a slightly quieter department with, among other things, light and dark therapy rooms.
Peacock House – meditate in light or dark
Our light therapy room is decorated entirely in restful white. Here you can recharge your batteries in pleasant warmth. Enjoy the life-giving light, relax and listen to guided meditation.
The darkroom is a peaceful place for recovery. Here you can rest in warm water beds and listen to meditation or music
Vitality pool and hot springs
Now it’s time to make your way to the warm pools. Immerse yourself in the soothing waters of the Japanese hot springs and feel the fresh air drifting in through the open panoramic windows. In the 30°C Vitality Pool, your entire body is treated to a gentle water massage. Move between the different massage stations and let the warm water ease tired, tense muscles.
Roof terrace with pool, sauna and cold bath
Through our glazed spa lounge you step out onto a terrace overlooking the sea and Varberg Fortress. Here you can enjoy a warm rooftop pool all year round, a sauna with panoramic views and a refreshing cold bath.
Sauna oasis
A visit to our sauna oasis is the perfect way to end your spa journey. Here, you can enjoy a variety of sauna experiences. The eucalyptus steam sauna surrounds you with soothing warmth, while the salt sauna envelops you in a gentle 45°C heat.
Between rounds, you can relax in the low-temperature sauna or take a refreshing dip in the cold tub.
good to keep in mind
- Please avoid bringing valuables to the spa. There are a limited number of safes. For your own safety, do not wear jewelry while bathing.
- Let the key words of stillness and harmony guide your stay. Speak in small letters and move slowly.
- Alcohol and cell phones are not allowed in the spa area.
- Remember to top up with water or tea to stay hydrated, as baths and saunas are dehydrating.
- If you want to go to the gym or join our activities, please bring your training clothes. In the activities we are barefoot, but in the gym we use training shoes for indoor use.
- At Asia Spa we have a 15-year age limit (except during the summer when children are welcome in the company of their parents).
