One of the most surreal experiences – beginning even before you get into the complex when you see the steam rising in the distance. Take care when you first get into the water, it’s not like getting into a swimming pool where the floor is flat! It’s slightly rough underfoot and a bit slippery too because of the silica mud.

Be sure to apply some of the mud to your face, it’s meant to have great skin benefits. You’ll find it in boxes placed around the lagoon.

Someone I know has been when it’s been snowing outside. She was toasty warm in the water, whilst snow flakes built up in her hair!
