Steam Room What Is It?
A steam room is a special relaxation area that combines warmth with high humidity.
Unlike a sauna, the humidity level in a steam room is very high. As a result, the heat feels more intense and distinctly different.
Many people choose the steam room to relax, unwind and complement their SPA experience.
At Le Garden SPA, you can combine the steam room with the Turkish hammam, massage, sauna and other SPA treatments, and plan your visit according to your preferences.
The Difference Between a Steam Room and Sauna
Dry Heat or High Humidity?
Although the sauna and steam room are chosen for similar purposes, they offer different experiences.
Sauna
A sauna is characterised by high temperatures and lower humidity. The air feels dry and sweating is more noticeable.
Steam Room
In a steam room, warmth is combined with high humidity. The air feels denser and more humid.
For this reason, those who enjoy dry heat may prefer the sauna, while those who favour a more humid and intense atmosphere may find the steam room more enjoyable.
Steam Room and Turkish Hammam
Although the Turkish hammam and steam room share some similarities in terms of heat and humidity, they offer different SPA experiences.
As an important part of traditional Turkish culture, the hammam is associated with heated marble, kese exfoliation and foam rituals.
The steam room offers an intensely humid heat experience in a smaller, controlled environment.
At Le Garden SPA, you can enjoy the Turkish hammam together with a kese exfoliation and foam treatment and, subject to availability, also use the steam room and other SPA areas.

There is no single correct order. The ideal sequence may vary depending on the massage and SPA services you choose. During your appointment, our team can advise you on the most suitable program for your visit.
Showering and cleansing your body before using the sauna is generally recommended as part of good SPA etiquette. You can also take a shower after the sauna to cool down and relax.
Sauna can cause intense sweating, but it is not appropriate to make definitive health claims about “removing toxins” from the body. The liver, kidneys and other natural systems play the primary role in processing and eliminating waste from the body.
Sauna can cause temporary water loss through sweating, but this does not mean permanent fat loss. Sauna should not be considered a weight-loss method or a medical treatment.
