Steaming sessions can be found in various bathhouses, but a truly exceptional experience awaits you at a Russian-style sauna. Here, fragrant, humid steam gently envelops the body, giving an unparalleled sense of lightness and tranquillity.

Steam rooms exist in almost every culture. The Eastern hammam, Japanese sentō, and Swedish bastu are just a few examples. This is no surprise – since ancient times, saunas have been essential places for cleansing the body and socialising. Today, steaming rituals remain as relevant as ever, evidenced by the abundance of such offerings in Dubai's hammams and spas. However, few people know there is an alternative – a Russian private sauna, or banya. It offers a one-of-a-kind experience that every steam enthusiast should try. Below, we'll explain why.

The banya stands out from traditional saunas thanks to its unique microclimate. Here, the steam is very humid (up to 80%) yet gentle (around 55–70°C), making it easier to tolerate and allowing for more extended sessions and greater health benefits. In contrast, saunas typically feature very dry (less than 15%) and extremely hot (70-130°C) steam, requiring alternating with cooling procedures or breaks.

During a Russian private steam room session, muscles are thoroughly warmed, tension is released, and blood circulation improves. Intense sweating helps flush out toxins and enhances skin condition. The cosy atmosphere, with wooden benches and herbal aromas, allows for complete relaxation and a focus on the present moment. This leads to reduced stress and anxiety levels.

Another signature feature of the banya is the venik massage, performed with bundles of oak, juniper, birch, eucalyptus, and other healing trees. This procedure allows even heat distribution, ensures better body warming, and aids in cooling down after steaming. In addition, the aroma of veniks positively affects the respiratory and nervous systems.

Words can hardly capture the allure of steam and private sauna experiences at the banya. That's why it's worth trying in person at La Villa Banya. Here, you'll find a variety of relaxation formats, which we'll explore in the next section.

Our signature programs are ideal for getting acquainted with Russian steaming traditions. They consist of various treatments performed in a sequence designed to deliver maximum results.

• Signature steaming. During the complex, you can enjoy several types of steaming – with horseradish, fans, oak veniks, restore energy with contrast treatments, and relax every cell with Taoist broom body care.
• Ice and fire steaming. This program includes steaming and treatments using eucalyptus, a plant known for its antibacterial and anti-stress effects. Rituals with hot and cold water strengthen the immune system, while massage and natural scrubs provide a sense of renewal.
• Hero's dream. The complex comprises herbal steaming, a light massage, vigorous venik beating, and original Russian rituals such as cold bucket dousing and washing. Treats like herbal tea and kvass allow you to replenish your strength and further embrace the traditions.
• Citrus delight. Ginger and citrus set the tone for this program. Their aromas uplift the mood, while steaming, scrubbing, contrast water treatments, and massage contribute to overall wellness.
• Program for couples. Steaming with veniks and oils, citrus peeling, body care, and water rituals not only revitalise but also strengthen your connection with your other half.

Additionally, you can create your personalised relaxation program. We offer unique treatments to complement your steaming: cold and ice plunge pools, hot vats, cooling and washing with veniks, honey, coffee, and berry wraps and peels, and body care with nagaikas and Taoist brooms. Our skilled steam masters perform all rituals, ensuring authenticity and safety.
