After a day of adventure, guests are invited to relax and recharge in the soothing spring waters of Nusfjord’s outdoor spa while enjoying stunning sea views.

Sauna Rituals is a calming, therapist-guided treatment designed to help guests reconnect with nature through the healing elements of the sea. This ritual uses seaweed, sea salt, and mindful practices to promote a sense of renewal, leaving participants feeling refreshed and invigorated.

The experience begins as the therapist guides guests into a warm sauna, where essential oils create a tranquil atmosphere that promotes relaxation. The gentle heat of the sauna opens pores, allowing the skin to absorb the rich ocean minerals introduced in the following steps.

With the skin warmed and softened, the therapist applies a fresh seaweed serum across the body. This nutrient-rich serum, derived from the sea, is gently massaged in, promoting deep hydration and nourishment.

An artisanal scrub, blending mineral-rich sea salt with hand-harvested seaweed, is then applied in smooth, circular motions. The Seaweed Scrub gently exfoliates the skin, removing impurities and invigorating circulation. The fresh, mineral scent of seaweed fills the air, enhancing the immersive, nature-inspired experience.

To complete the ritual, guests are guided to a cold plunge or refreshing shower, invigorating both body and mind. This final step seals in the ocean’s healing benefits, leaving guests with a sense of clarity, revitalization, and balance.
