The elite notions combination (but we love it anyway). If you’re looking to relax this weekend, definitely check out your local sea sauna.
Saunas offer benefits like improved sleep, lower stress, and detoxification. Sessions are typically about €10 each, making it an affordable choice this bank holiday.
