Swiss wellness and medical resort hotel, Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, which was named Resort Spa of the Year at last week’s World Spa and Wellness awards 2019, has invested £2.3m in a new Sauna Village.
The resort’s thermal bathing area, Tamina Therme, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and to mark the occasion, Bad Ragaz revealed a 1,000sq m expansion to the existing site, alongside three new sauna houses and a pond.
Two of the new sauna buildings, which took six months to construct, are made entirely from Scandinavian kelo wood, chosen for its robust and insulating qualities, and its intense aroma. The dead polar pine was dried out naturally.
Daniel Grünenfelder, managing director of Tamina Therme, says: “Now we can better showcase our competency in health and wellbeing. We have this unique water which represents the life elixir of our thermal baths and we want to bring our guests nearer to the energy of this element every day.”
