THE SAUNAS

A Circuit of Temperatures — From Panorama to Biosauna

Termy Krakowskie stages multiple sauna types: the Panorama and Arena dry saunas at high temperatures, a lower-temperature Biosauna with higher humidity, and a Turkish hammam — each designed to deliver distinct thermal and respiratory effects as part of curated sauna sessions and peeling or relaxation rituals.

THE WATER

Heated Pool, Jacuzzi and Cooling Zone

An indoor heated swimming pool (13 × 5 m, ~28°C) and a 38°C jacuzzi sit alongside a cooling zone with showers, a cold-water barrel and a Bosmanka bucket to complete the hot–cold cycle central to sauna practice.

THE PROTOCOL

Textile-Free Etiquette and the Salt Chamber

The entire facility operates as a textile-free zone except for specified pool hours; guests may use towels, pareos or bathrobes as coverings, and can relax in a dedicated salt chamber kept at mild temperature for recovery between sessions.

What the day feels like

What a Visit Feels Like

A stay at Termy Krakowskie is paced around repeated heat and cool-down cycles: guided or self-directed sauna sessions, time in the hammam or salt chamber to restore the breath, interludes in the heated pool or jacuzzi, and optional peeling, massage or beauty treatments — all framed by the facility’s textile-free ethos.
