About VETTA Nordic Spa
Paying homage to traditional Finnish design and sauna customs alongside modern sophistication, VETTA will provide guests a variety of opportunities for both personal and social rejuvenation.
The spa will highlight the Nordic practice of thermotherapy through transcendent saunas, steam rooms, and luxurious hot & cold pools. Social interaction is an essential part of Finnish sauna tradition and will be actively encouraged and welcomed while also respecting designated quiet zones.
VETTA will offer massage therapy services, a Scandinavian-inspired bistro restaurant, several indoor and outdoor relaxation areas (including a solarium, hammock lounge, and fire pits), and a future chalet/corporate meeting facility.
There will be two large, signature saunas, one of which emulates a popular public sauna outside Helsinki, Finland. With features like warm mists, central fireplaces, and meditative water features, these saunas will encourage relaxation and an appreciation of the natural elements.
