How the outdoor hot tub works
Read here to learn how our wood-heated outdoor hot tub works.
WHY IS THIS A PAID SERVICE IF EVERY YURT HAS ITS OWN PRIVATE HOT TUB?
This service requires extensive preparation, about 5 hours for each tub, and significant maintenance.
We change the water after every guest’s departure and do not use any chemicals or chlorine. The water is reused for watering plants.
The filter, which keeps the water clean while you’re using it, is a special biological bacterial filter equipped with a UV sanitizing lamp.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The day before your arrival, we’ll message you on WhatsApp to find out what time you’d like to use it. Not because there’s a time limit: it will be at your disposal for as long as you’d like, but so we can have it ready for you upon arrival, ensuring it is “just the right temperature” for the approximate time you indicate.
We’ll have it ready for you upon arrival because it takes a long time to prepare, and we don’t want to disturb your stay by going back and forth to add wood. You’ll remove the thermal cover when you take your bath.
CAN IT BE DONE IN WINTER, TOO? WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Of course, in fact, it’s very picturesque.
The only times it won’t be possible are during strong winds or thunderstorms.
Even in light rain, without lightning or thunder, it’s very pleasant and unique.
In any case, if the weather is unfavorable, we’ll be the first to let you know if it’s best to cancel, with no cancellation fee. However, in six years of business, and we are open both summer and winter, this has only happened twice. Usually, we can find a window of time that allows for the Hot Bath!
ARE BATHROBES PROVIDED? WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
If you’ve booked the tub, bathrobes will also be provided. You’ll just need to bring slippers to walk from the yurt to the tub, a swimsuit, if you’d like, and, if it’s winter, a hat.
IF I DON’T WANT TO HEAT IT, DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY?
There is a fee for the tub, even if used cold. In any case, in our experience, to get the most out of the service, even in warmer weather, it’s more enjoyable if heated to at least 36°, body temperature, when used in the afternoon, and at least 38° after dinner.
RESTART KIT
You should only book this if you’re checking in early and want to use the tub both in the afternoon and after dinner.
In this case, we’ll have the tub ready for you upon arrival. Then we’ll restock the wood stove with firewood and kindling, and you’ll be able to relight it yourself for the evening. Since it’s already “warm”, with about an hour of fire you’ll be able to bring it up to the right temperature.
I ALSO BOOKED THE MOVIE NIGHT. HOW DOES THAT WORK IN THIS CASE?
If you don’t add the hot tub, the movie screening will take place inside the yurt.
If you’ve booked both the hot tub and the movie night, and you’d like to enjoy them at the same time outdoors, watching the movie while you’re in the hot tub, you’ll still find the hot tub ready upon arrival, perfect for after dinner.
If you want to use it both in the afternoon and after dinner with the movie screening, you can add the kit, as explained above.
You can also choose to use the hot tub on its own at your desired time and watch the movie inside the yurt.
WHAT IF I’M STAYING MORE THAN ONE NIGHT?
If you’ve booked the tub for the first day, the next day, if you’d like to use it again, it will cost half price. You can decide once you’re here.
