Description
Banya has been around for centuries and very popular in Russian culture and often a family or group activity, which frequently includes a post-treatment session, eating traditional Russian food such as dumplings or pickles, and drinking tea, beer or vodka. Banya No. 1 opened in 2012 and is the only one of its kind in London, which has subsequently become very popular among Russians and non-Russians alike.
Banya No. 1 has a public spa open to members and non-members, and also a private Banya Taiga (the Russian word for forest), which has a unique steam room and traditionally constructed log cabin made of Kelo timber with logs imported from Russia’s taiga. This private steam room which has been frequented by the likes of Kate Moss and Justin Bieber is ideally suited for a group of eight to ten people and perfect for those looking for something different for for a hen or stag do, a special occasion, celebration or for corporate events or staff days out.
Combing authenticity and luxury, the private Banya Taiga invites guests to enjoy the Russian wellness concept with your own ‘elite’ group of hand-picked guests and enjoy a Russian steam room, a hot stone room, a massage room for two and a private lounge area. When the effects of the steam get too hot to handle, guests can 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.
Enter a magical place and immerse in a truly unforgettable Russian banya experience and feel the invigorating effects of the steam.
