Detoxify and relax in our private wet steam sauna.
A steam sauna is an enclosed room filled with warm, moisture saturated air. Unlike a traditional Finnish dry sauna, which uses very high temperatures with low humidity, a steam sauna operates at a more comfortable 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity at or near 100 percent. This dense, fragrant mist surrounds your entire body, opening your pores, hydrating your skin, and helping your muscles release tension within just a few minutes of entering.
The Hana Spa steam sauna in Palisades Park is private and tiled in cool ceramic, with built in benches and adjustable lighting that lets you set the mood. Our steam generator infuses the chamber with eucalyptus and lavender essences on request, turning every session into a multisensory ritual. Steam therapy has been used in cultures around the world for thousands of years, from Roman thermae and Turkish hammams to Korean jjimjilbangs and Japanese mushiburo.
Steam saunas are particularly popular in winter, when dry indoor heat can leave skin parched and respiratory passages irritated. The moist heat works as a natural humidifier for your entire body, replenishing skin moisture and supporting the upper respiratory system in ways a dry sauna simply cannot match.
When you arrive at Hana Spa for a steam sauna session, our staff provides a fresh robe, slippers, and towels. We always recommend drinking a full glass of water before entering to stay hydrated, and a second glass during your cool down. A typical session lasts 15 to 20 minutes, long enough to encourage a deep sweat without overheating. Most guests step out briefly halfway through to splash cool water on their face before returning for a second round.
For the most luxurious experience, many of our regulars book a steam sauna right before a Swedish Massage or a full Body Scrub. The steam softens the skin and warms the muscles, making both treatments noticeably more effective. After your session, take a few minutes in our quiet relaxation area before changing back into your clothes.
Anyone dealing with congestion from a cold, allergies, or sinus pressure will find immediate relief in our steam sauna. People with dry skin, mild eczema, or psoriasis often see noticeable improvement after just a few weekly sessions, as the moisture helps restore the skin's natural barrier. Athletes, runners, and weekend warriors use it before and after workouts to loosen tight muscles and accelerate recovery, while busy professionals from Fort Lee, Edgewater, and Cliffside Park come in to escape the noise of daily life. Steam therapy pairs especially well with our Aromatherapy Massage for an experience that calms both body and mind. If you have uncontrolled blood pressure or are pregnant, please consult your physician before booking.
The steam sauna and the Korean style body scrub were made for each other, it is the classic jjimjilbang sequence. Fifteen to twenty minutes of steam opens your pores and softens the outer layer of skin, so the Body Scrub that follows lifts away far more dull, dry skin than it could on its own. Guests who want the full head to toe glow finish with Body Polishing. Ask for the sauna plus scrub sequence when you call, it is the way regulars book it.
