Experience the peaceful sensation of a warm and quiet Himalayan salt room at Organic Elements Spa. Salt therapy, or Halotherapy (halo means salt in Greek), provides a natural and safe way of treatment. The practice is widely praised by those affected by skin ailments or chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma.
Composed of a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion, salt molecules stimulate the airway linings as they enter and break down through the lungs. As the Himalayan salt is inhaled, it travels through the sinuses and respiratory tract absorbing moisture, cleansing, clearing mucus and killing bacteria.
Relaxing in a Himalayan salt room is a unique and tranquil experience. Whether you are searching for peace, healing, or a simple way to treat yourself to self-care, you are sure to enjoy this warm and natural treatment.
Enter into a peaceful hidden retreat with Chozu’s Japanese Bath and Tea Gardens. The Chozu bath experience begins with a purifying shower in one of the steam rooms before you enter into the communal space, featuring a 7000 gallon hot pool. You can also select to reserve your own private tub. After relaxing in one of the pools, enjoy the custom-made sauna, complete with cedar planking for a deeply relaxing experience. Or, invigorate and reactivate your senses with the cold plunge.
After your soak or spa treatment, continue your relaxation journey in the Tea & Sake Lounge. The menu is inspired by traditional rural Japanese food with a pub twist. Enjoy a delicious selection of traditional sakés and saké-inspired cocktails. Or, sit back and sip on your choice of tea, from authentic green teas, oolongs, and herbal teas to matcha, rooibos, and black tea lattes.
No matter your cup of tea, the Chozu Spa is a special place to come for a relaxing and regenerating experience.
