In alignment with our commitment to wellness, we maintain an alcohol-free environment. We also strongly advise against drinking alcohol before your thermal bathhouse session. Alcohol dehydrates the body, and this can lead to serious health complications in a hot and humid environment. Alcohol also disrupts your ability to regulate body temperature and affects your blood pressure and heart rate, leaving your vulnerable to overheating and other health risks.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, guests who arrive intoxicated will be refused entry to the Bathhouse.

Guests aged 14 and above are welcome under adult supervision. All guardians are responsible for children in their care at all times. For safety reasons, individuals under 14 years old are not permitted in the bathhouse.

Be sure to include your companion or carer on your reservation to provide you with assistance. Companions and carers with the relevant identification receive complimentary entry when accompanying a paying guest who requires assistance. Our Bathhouse has a lift for guests to reach the pools deck. A wheelchair can be requested and will be confirmed for your reservation subject to availability.

We don’t allow pregnant women to use our Bathhouse, however we do offer some therapeutic treatments that you can safely enjoy during your pregnancy. You and your baby’s safety is our priority and exposure to high temperatures – like in our pools, sauna and steam – can put your pregnancy at risk.

Our reception team will be happy to help with other treatment suggestions. Every pregnancy is different and we suggest you talk to your doctor prior to booking your spa experience.

Thermal bathing is very therapeutic for most people however, some medical conditions require caution or even avoidance. Your health and safety are our top priority, and we recommend that you consult with your doctor or healthcare provider if you have medical issues and follow their advice.
