What is provided during my visit?

Your visit includes everything you need to relax from the moment you arrive. We provide a robe, towel, slippers and complimentary drinking water throughout your experience. One on-site parking space is also included with every booking for your convenience.

Do I need to wear swimwear?

Yes. Swimwear must be worn at all times while using the spa facilities. This helps maintain a comfortable and respectful environment for everyone enjoying the private spa experience.

What time should I arrive for my booking?

We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled booking. This allows plenty of time to park, settle in and begin your experience without feeling rushed. As your booking has been reserved exclusively for you, late arrivals may result in a reduced session length.

Is there anything I should avoid before visiting Kaiya Spa?

health & wellbeing

Who should avoid using the spa facilities?

Our thermal spa may not be suitable for everyone.

Guests must be 16 years of age or over, and those aged 16 or 17 must be accompanied by a responsible adult throughout their visit.

Can I visit Kaiya Spa if I'm pregnant?

No. Unfortunately, our thermal spa facilities are not suitable during pregnancy. The combination of heat, steam and changing temperatures may present unnecessary risks, so we are unable to welcome guests who are pregnant.

Can I use the spa if I have a medical condition?

Many guests with medical conditions can still enjoy Kaiya Spa, but some health conditions may make heat therapy unsuitable. If you have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, epilepsy, diabetes, have recently undergone surgery, or have any other medical concerns, we recommend seeking advice from your GP or healthcare professional before booking your visit.

Can I visit if I'm feeling unwell?

No. If you are feeling unwell, have a contagious illness or develop symptoms before your booking, please contact Kaiya Spa before travelling. This helps protect both your wellbeing and the experience of other guests.

Why do I need to tell Kaiya Spa about my medical history?

Your health and safety are our priority. The information you provide allows us to assess whether our facilities are suitable for you and helps us identify any circumstances where adjustments or medical advice may be appropriate before your visit.

What should I do if my health changes before my visit?

If your health, medication or medical circumstances change after completing your health questionnaire, please contact Kaiya Spa before your appointment. We'll be happy to discuss your situation and advise whether your visit can safely go ahead.

Who can I contact if I'm unsure whether the spa is suitable for me?

If you have any questions about whether Kaiya Spa is suitable for your individual circumstances, please contact us before making your booking or attending your appointment. You can email us confidentially at info@kaiyaspa.com, and a member of our team will be happy to help.

spa etiquette

How can I make the most of my time at Kaiya Spa?

Your spa has been reserved exclusively for you, allowing you to enjoy the experience in whatever way feels most restorative. Whether you choose quiet reflection, meaningful conversation or simply taking time to slow down, we encourage you to embrace the opportunity to disconnect from everyday life and be fully present in the moment.

Can I use my mobile phone during my visit?

Of course. Your spa experience is entirely private, so the choice is yours. However, many of our guests choose to put their phones away and embrace a rare opportunity to disconnect. In a world of constant notifications and digital fatigue, taking a break from your screen can help you feel more present, relaxed and connected to the experience around you.

Can I bring food or alcohol into the spa?

No. To help maintain the quality of the experience and the cleanliness of our facilities, outside food and alcohol are not permitted within the spa.

Can I play my own music?

Our carefully curated soundtrack has been chosen to complement the rhythm of your thermal ritual and create a calm, immersive atmosphere throughout your visit. For this reason, personal music and portable speakers are not permitted within the spa.

Can I take photographs during my visit?

As your booking provides exclusive use of the spa, you're welcome to capture personal memories if you wish. However, we encourage guests to spend less time behind a screen and more time enjoying the experience itself. Some of the most meaningful moments are the ones that aren't interrupted by a notification or viewed through a camera lens.

additional needs & accessibility

Can I contact Kaiya Spa before booking if I have additional needs?

Absolutely. If you have any accessibility requirements, medical considerations or additional needs, we encourage you to contact us before booking.

Yes. Our team will always communicate clearly, patiently and respectfully to ensure you feel comfortable throughout your visit. If you have any questions before or during your experience, we're always happy to help.

Can I visit if I have sensory sensitivities?

Many guests find the privacy and calm atmosphere at Kaiya Spa particularly relaxing.
