For many new to the spa and wellness scene, a trip to the thermal bathing facilities can be as nerve-racking as it can be relaxing. From what to wear, to how to utilize the facilities in the best way possible, it can be challenging particularly if others around you seem to be experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At GOCO Hospitality, we understand that feeling, and as full-service spa designers, planners and operators, we know a thing or two about thermal bathing and its written and unwritten rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, for anyone new to the scene, here are our top do’s and don\u2019ts which will increase your confidence and help elevate your experience next time you go bathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Wear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit to the spa is about being relaxed, so when you head to the spa, wear something comfortable. This not only gets you in the mood, but you\u2019ll be grateful on the way out. Your spa session should help to loosen your body and mind, and putting on tight clothing after your session may feel uncomfortable and restrictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the spa and thermal facilities you visit, you\u2019ll either need to wear a swimsuit or go naked. It\u2019s more common than not that segregated gender spas encourage nudity, but in most places, it is not enforced. However, Japanese onsens will almost always require nudity \u2013 and in Germany, your swimwear will be frowned upon and asked to wait outside while you enjoy your session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
