Sauna in Malta

Regular use offers numerous health benefits including improved cardiovascular function, reduced blood pressure, faster muscle recovery, stress reduction, better sleep quality, skin detoxification, and immune system support. Research published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that regular users had a 63% lower risk of cardiovascular events. At Carisma Spa in Malta, our facilities are designed to deliver these benefits in a comfortable, professionally maintained environment.

We recommend 15 to 20 minutes per session for optimal benefits. Beginners should start with shorter sessions of 10 to 15 minutes and gradually increase as they become accustomed to the heat. Always hydrate before and after. Our spa team at every Carisma location is happy to guide first-time visitors.

A hammam (Turkish bath) is a steamy bathing ritual that includes body scrubbing, foam massage, and warm marble resting.
