It is believed, that Spa stands for “Sanus per aquam”, which means “healthy by water” or health out of the water, but in fact the origins of the word are rather linked to the belgian resort named Spa.
Today, Spa refers to methods and treatments to keep our health. Spa has become a way of life.
All the services of the Cascade Spa aim to help our guests forget everyday worries and pamper themselves, recharge both physically and mentally.

The Cascade Aqua Spa is an oasis where an indoor leisure pool, a sauna, an infrared sauna, a steam bath, an aroma room, a salt room, a plunge pool and a pleasant terrace await our customers wanting to relax and renew all the way from spring to autumn.
Modern-day people may find it difficult to hide from the stressful weekdays, but we have a nearly thousand-years old hideaway for that: the sauna.
Time slows down as we step in the sauna. That sensation is emphasized by the slowly flowing sands. Our soul finds peace in the heat radiating from the hot lava rocks, our brain switches off, but the other parts of our body keep working: skin pores open and our blood fizzes thanks to dilated blood vessels. We are getting rid of toxins through increased circulation and sparkling drops of sweat.
During sauna séances, our guests get introduced to the essence of the sauna culture and get to know how it is done properly. The sauna master controls humidity and temperature through infusions for the most intense detoxification.
A wide range of sauna séances await our guests.

Massage is the interaction of touch with the body, head, hands and feet. However, massage does not only affect the skin or muscles, but impacts on how the immune system functions. It also improves operation of internal organs through neurostimulation. A thorough massage infuses the entire body and the whole being.
Different forms of massage has been used for thousands of years for healing or pain relief. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians used it as one of their main means of healing and pain relief. In the 5th century B.C. Hippocrates, “the father of medicine” wrote the following: “The physician should be experienced in many ways, but primarily in rubbing. Because rubbing can either rearrange a loose joint or loosen a stiff one.”
Pliny, the famous Roman naturopath received constant massages to get rid of his asthma, and Julius Caesar, who had been suffering of epilepsy was tweaked every day from head to toe to reduce his neuralgia and relieve him of his torturing headaches.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Swedish Per Henrik Ling has developed a technique that is the “Swedish massage” as we know it. It is in reality no other than a mixture of the Chinese (he gained practical experience, learned massage, exercises and the use of herbs from a Chinese kung-fu master called Ming), the Egyptian, the Greek and the Roman physical and physiological exercises.
Our treatments are based on the Swedish massage technique.
A wide variety of massage sessions are available to our guests.
TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE
The traditional Thai Massage is a so-called dry massage. Guests wear a comfortable dress made of natural materials allowing unrestrained movement. In order to achieve the necessary impact, the physician massages using several parts of their body. They can use their palms, thumbs, legs, forearms and knees. The masseur treats guests in different positions, which start from the following basic positions: supine, lying on their side and sitting. Massages are performed on a mattress placed on the ground.
During a Thai massage, our physicians work along energy lines, based on the belief that the foundation of all life are invisible energy channels that permeates and sustains the body.
Beneficial effects
Thai massage is not recommended in case of phlebitis, osteoporosis, dermatological treatments, hypertension, cardiovascular problems (following stroke), cancer, or after operations.
