An evening by the lake. Sauna, hot tub, silence.
The evening ritual our guests return for most. Steam from the wooden sauna, hot tub water, fire at sunset. No background music, no evening entertainment.
Four elements of a Masurian evening
Sauna. Wooden interior, dry heat at 80–90°C. Small and intimate — for 2–4 people. Short sessions alternated with cold showers or a plunge into the lake (in summer).
Hot tub. Wooden, wood-fired. Heating time approximately 2–3 hours — we light it in the afternoon so it is ready by evening. Water temperature 38–40°C. With a view of the veranda and Port Zanzibar in the distance.
Evening relaxation. After the rituals: a blanket, tea or something stronger, an armchair on the veranda. Sometimes a fire in the pit outside. No rush.
The ritual. Guests who stay longer most often repeat the sequence: sauna → quick cold → hot tub → blanket → tea → fireplace. There is no single right way — each guest builds their own.
