At Banya No. 1 in Shoreditch, guests are immersed in an authentic bath house experience. Welcomed by wood-adorned rooms and the fresh scent of eucalyptus, they enter a space designed for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Unlike traditional saunas, the Banya surrounds clients with high levels of steam as water is splashed onto cast iron heated to 700 degrees inside a brick furnace. Donning a felt hat, which protects your head and hair from the intense heat, feel your muscles relax under the therapeutic heat. Once guests start to feel overheated, stand under an ice-cold shower or take a dip in an icy plunge pool to boost circulation, which helps relieve muscle tension, stress and joint pain. Guests can either head to the social area, for a drink or snack, before heading back to the Banya. Guests also get the opportunity to undergo a parenie treatment.
Parenie is a traditional and invigorating thermal treatment which involves a leafy bundle of birch, oak or eucalyptus twigs (called venik) being brushed over the body, increasing to a gentle thrashing. This treatment enhances the Banya experience by shifting steam onto the skin, while the plants release essential oils. The oils also have anti-anti-inflammatory effects, which are believed to calm the nervous system and help reduce blood pressure.
Banya No.1 offers a traditional wellness experience, bringing age-old Eastern European bathhouse rituals to the heart of London. This spa is renowned for its authentic thermal treatments, including the invigorating Parenie ritual, which utilises aromatic bundles of birch, oak, or eucalyptus. The facility also includes modern amenities such as a steam room, ice-cold plunge pools, and relaxation booths where guests can enjoy traditional foods and drinks. This blend of old and new provides a unique detoxifying experience designed to rejuvenate both body and mind.
