Russia is a country in two parts of the world, a state whose territory covers the sandy Baltic spit and the rocky islands of Chukotka, stretches from the northern Arctic latitudes to the subtropics. Russia has unimaginable wealth - cultural and historical heritage, protected forests and untouched spaces. The elegant streets of St. Petersburg and the architectural monuments of Kaliningrad compete with the architecture of ancient cities - multi-domed churches and merchant houses, and the beaches of the Black Sea coast compete with the northern forests of Karelia and the ridges of the Ural Mountains. Geography Russia is the largest country on our planet by area, occupying 17.1 million square kilometers. The state is located in Eurasia and covers both parts of the continent. About a third of Russia's territory is located in Eastern Europe, and the rest belongs to northern Asia. The Russian shores are washed by the waters of 12 seas belonging to the basins of the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and by the waters of the closed Caspian Sea. Russia lies on large platforms, so its topography is predominantly flat. In the west of the country stretches the undulating Central Russian Plain, separated by the ridge of the Ural Mountains from the Siberian Plateau. In the south of Russia there are the Caucasus mountain systems with the highest point of the country - Mount Elbrus, Sayan and Altai. In the Far East, the peaks of extinct and active volcanoes soar upward. There are about 2.5 million rivers and 3 million lakes in Russia. Most rivers are flat in nature, but there are also turbulent mountain rivers in Russia with rocky, rapids beds. The country's largest rivers are the Ob, Lena, Irtysh, Yenisei and Volga. The lake region of Russia is Karelia, where the largest lakes in Europe are located - Ladoga and Onega; in Eastern Siberia there is the deepest lake on the planet - Baikal.

Steaming in a sauna is not just a pleasant procedure, an opportunity to relax and unwind. The Russian bath has long been famous for its healing and rejuvenating properties. A real wood-fired bathhouse in the Barin bathhouse complex near Moscow will allow you to get rid of accumulated stress and fatigue, cleanse your body and soul, gain positive emotions and recharge your batteries. We work all year round. The birch wood-fired bathhouse is located in a cozy two-story house, equipped with a swimming pool with warm water. At guests' disposal are birch, oak and juniper brooms, eco-steaming (with herbs and essential oils) and, of course, the art of professional bathhouse attendants. A Russian wood-fired sauna cleanses the body, activates metabolism and removes toxins - after the sauna you feel refreshed, invigorated and full of energy. The conditions created in a wood-burning bathhouse - steam and temperature changes - help restore blood vessels, strengthen the heart muscle, remove excess moisture and toxins and normalize the water-salt balance. We recommend visiting a bathhouse or sauna with a swimming pool regularly for those who want to get rid of extra pounds, improve skin condition, restore the functioning of the respiratory system, and overcome chronic diseases of the ENT organs. The Russian bathhouse is an excellent cosmetologist: a good steam room with a birch broom cleanses the skin, eliminating acne and blackheads, and makes the surface of the skin velvety and healthy. And, of course, steaming is a woman’s best friend in the fight against cellulite. The sauna and Russian bathhouse in the Barin bathhouse complex are equipped to completely recreate the classic conditions in which our ancestors steamed. We heat the bathhouse with natural wood - unlike many other inexpensive modern bathhouses in the Moscow region, where artificial heaters are installed. Thanks to the use of birch firewood, a unique finely dispersed steam is created in our bathhouse. City baths and saunas, which abound in Shchelkovo, Fryazino, Chernogolovka, Balashikha, Ivanteevka, Korolev, Mytishchi, Krasnoarmeysk and other cities of the Moscow region, cannot boast of this. In cities, most often it is not possible to install a special wood-burning stove. In “Barin”, located in a cozy corner of the Moscow region far from noisy cities, there is such an opportunity. Our bathhouse-sauna with a swimming pool is always waiting for its guests! Spa tours with Excellence The Excellence company offers Spa tours around the world.

First of all, these are numerous procedures associated with mineral, fresh or sea water. Algae, sea plants, mud and salts are used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. The word SPA itself comes from a small French town where the aristocracy often vacationed. SPA treatments are great for relieving stress and helping to achieve harmony between body and spirit. In recent years, the popularity of this type of recreation has been gaining momentum, despite the fact that it is difficult to call it budget. The cost of a package of standard SPA treatments in an average European hotel starts from 2000 euros. Please note that this amount does not include expenses for accommodation, meals and flights. World SPA resortsKarlovy Vary (Czech Republic), Evian and Vichy (France), Bath (England) and Baden-Baden (Germany) are considered the most famous and prestigious spa resorts in the world. There are about 2 thousand water clinics in the USA. Hawaiians is considered the most famous resort in Japan. The resort has an incredibly large swimming pool, which is why it was even listed in the Guinness Book of Records. A special type of treatment (Ayurvedic) will be offered to you in eastern countries. SPA centers in Australia have their own distinctive features; they are based on traditional medicine of the Australian aborigines. Local plants, herbs and minerals are often added to cosmetics. There are also SPA resorts in Tunisia, the largest is located in Hammamet. The procedures use sea mud, which is mined right there; this is a very important difference, because usually the centers use mud from popular cosmetic companies, which can be easily bought in any store. In Hammamet, healing mud is delivered to the centers through a special pipe, which is led far out to sea. One of the most effective resorts is Ein Gedi, located on the Dead Sea in Israel. Water enriched with sulfur attracts many tourists. The temperature in the pools does not drop below 38 degrees all year round. If we consider more budget options, we recommend paying attention to Turkish baths. The Turkish bath is significantly different from the usual Russian one; the procedure is a real ritual. The room is decorated with marble and is heated from the inside. Taps with cold and hot water are installed along the walls. It is considered traditional to have professional massage therapists in the baths who perform massages with abundant use of foam. In SPA centers in China you will be offered to combine wellness treatments with traditional Chinese treatment. The most famous center, the Garden of Longevity, is located on Hainan Island. The island is conducive to year-round recreation: the average annual air temperature is 24 degrees, the water temperature is 22. In search of affordable spa centers, you can go to the Baltics. The cost of an average tour, which will include accommodation, full board and basic treatments, will range from 30 to 100 euros per person per day. Price levels will vary depending on the season and location of the hotel. For example, a week of relaxation in the Estonian SPA center Laulasma will cost around 850 euros per person. The price includes accommodation in a 4* hotel, full board, free access to the steam rooms and water center, several types of massage, light therapy, salt therapy, 3-4 SPA procedures, including a jacuzzi, herbal baths, Charcot shower, ozokerite-paraffin procedure and visiting an infrared bath.

The sanatorium opens to its guests a unique thermal area, which includes a Turkish bath, a classic Russian steam room, a Finnish sauna, a phyto-sauna, a sauna with sea salts, an infrared sauna and a solarium. Such areas as chocolate therapy, wine therapy, algae wraps and many other innovative procedures are widely practiced. The medical center of the sanatorium corrects disorders in the central nervous system, digestive organs, problems with the musculoskeletal system and the cardiovascular system. Wonderful SPA resorts can be found in the neighboring country - Abkhazia, it is not for nothing that it is considered a country of long-livers. The unique mild subtropical climate, sanatoriums located in boxwood and pine groves, combined with sea air, create excellent conditions for relaxation and recovery. The best sanatoriums are located in Gagra, Sukhumi, New Athos and Pitsunda. Types of SPA proceduresThe main types of SPA procedures: thalassotherapy, massages, rejuvenation, cosmetic, anti-stress, relaxation programs, regeneration programs, fitness programs and weight loss programs. The most popular SPA procedure today is considered to be thalassotherapy - the use of sea water, algae, sand, sea medicinal mud and the sea climate for medicinal purposes. Indications for recovery and treatment with thalassotherapy may include joint diseases, obesity or overweight, regular respiratory diseases, chronic fatigue, insomnia, numerous stresses, rehabilitation after injuries or recovery during the postpartum period. However, in the presence of cancer, disorders of the cardiovascular system, acute infections, serious inflammation or dysfunction of internal organs, it is better to refuse this method of treatment. Thalassotherapy methods include showers, aromatic baths, underwater massages, aqua fitness, irrigation, aerosols and inhalations, swimming in a seawater pool, mud therapy and algae treatment. The SPA tourism industry is moving around the world with great strides, capturing large and small cities around the world. The centers offer a huge selection of programs and procedures, and give you the choice of where and at what cost to return your body to its radiant appearance after a hard year of work. |
