Aurora Spa & Bathhouse

Aufguss is more than sauna.

It is ritual. It is atmosphere.

Heat that circulates with intention, steam that moves like breath, sound and scent awakening the senses.

This October, Naomi Gregory returns to Aurora with the art of Aufguss.

Two sessions only. Spaces are limited.

Every day at Aurora we witness transformation.

It happens in subtle ways. The way someone’s shoulders relax as they step into the bathhouse. The quiet smiles exchanged between friends emerging from treatment rooms. The almost imperceptible shift in energy when someone remembers what it feels like to simply be. This is why we do what we do.

And now we are honoured to be nominated for the 2025 Asia Pacific Spa & Wellness People’s Choice Awards in two categories: Best Day Spa and Best Bathhouse.

If Aurora has touched you and you believe in spaces that prioritise true wellness, please take a moment to vote and help us share the Aurora experience with others.

From Scandinavia to Sorrento, bathing has always been more than cleansing.
It is ritual, community, renewal.

Across cultures and centuries, water has been a way to restore balance, reconnect with ourselves and nature, and remember the art of slowing down.

This week on the Aurora Blog we explore some of the world’s most remarkable bathing traditions including Japan’s onsens, Iceland’s geothermal lagoons, Morocco’s hammams and Switzerland’s Therme Vals.
