Himalayan Salt Room
Dry salt therapy in a still, mineral air — halotherapy for the breath, the skin and the mind.
The Room
Salt therapy — halotherapy — goes back to medieval healers who prescribed salt inhalation for the breath, and gained ground when doctors noticed how rarely Polish salt-mine workers fell ill with respiratory trouble. Salt is a natural disinfectant, antimicrobial and antibacterial, and carries 84 of the same elements and trace elements found in the body.
In World Spa’s Himalayan Salt Room, microscopic dry-salt particles drift through still, mineral air. Breathe slowly and let them work — many guests come here for clearer breathing, calmer skin and a quiet, restorative pause in the day.
Still, mineral air and the slow rhythm of the breath — the calmest room in the spa.
