The days are getting shorter, the air has more freshness, and the forests take on warm hues. It's a good moment to catch your breath and do something simple for yourself – book a long weekend at the spa.
A long weekend at the spa is a way to truly regenerate – without rush, in contact with nature. Santa Natura Resort & SPA, located within the Bolimowski Landscape Park buffer zone, offers exactly such a space: peaceful, close to Warsaw, and focused on full regeneration.
Long weekend at the spa – autumn getaway 2025
November 2025 is favorable for plans. The National Independence Day, November 11th, falls on a Tuesday. Just take a day off on Monday, November 10th, to enjoy four days of continuous relaxation. Such a reset before winter works better than another espresso – your body thanks you with better sleep, and your mind with calm. Four days also provide comfort to enjoy the full wellness offer: warming saunas, longer treatments, and unhurried breakfasts after which you can simply go for a walk in the forest.
Autumn is a good time to start sauna sessions
When it's cold and wet outside, nothing lifts the spirit like a good dose of warmth. At Santa Natura Resort & SPA, sauna bathing is a small ritual. In the garden, there's a wood-fired Estonian sauna – a cozy hut that is an attraction in itself. On selected Saturdays, sessions led by a sauna master take place: work with towels and fans, waves of hot air, and carefully chosen aromas – from sweeter notes through citrus to refreshing menthol. Afterwards, you can refresh your body in a natural bathing pool right next door. This is the moment when endorphins do their magic.
Daily, there is also a dry sauna (Finnish) at about 80-90°C – great for detox and muscle relaxation – and a steam bath (approx. 40-60°C), which gently supports the respiratory tract and pleasantly moisturizes the skin. Autumn is the ideal time to build a habit: a few rounds, breaks for cooling down, a glass of water – and done. Even on colder days, you can also start the adventure with winter swimming.
Spa treatments – also solid options for men
Regeneration is not just about the sauna. In the SPA area, guests will find treatments tailored to various skin needs. At Santa Natura, men are also remembered – male skin is often exposed to daily shaving, stress, and smog. MedEstelle cosmetic treatments do a great job here. MEN-ACTIVE LIFT energizes the face: brightens, firms, and helps with under-eye shadows. MEN-HYDRA-POWER intensively moisturizes and soothes irritations, reducing tightness. For a quick “mirror effect,” there is also a men's facial massage “Cold Drain” using ice rollers – reduces puffiness and restores freshness.
And if you fancy luxurious skincare rituals – the selection of treatments for women is wide, from manual techniques to the Japanese kobido facial massage. It's worth booking your preferred times in advance – autumn weekends tend to be popular.
Rooms, cuisine, water – a complete picture of relaxation
A good rest is made up of details. After warm sauna sessions, you return to a room where it’s easy to unwind: natural materials, muted colors, soft textiles. A large, comfortable bed, proper blackout, and lighting that can be dimmed with one move – this matters when you really want to sleep well. In the bathroom, a shower that quickly warms you up after a walk, and on the table, a kettle and a tea set to close the day with a small ritual. From the windows – greenery and calm; the only background sounds are rustling trees. In the morning, there’s no need to rush anywhere: breakfasts are the kind you enjoy slowly and without checking the clock.
The kitchen at Santa Natura is based on good products, seasonality, and taste. At breakfast, regional cheeses, preserves, crispy bread, and warm options reign. In autumn, mushrooms, pumpkin, and plums appear on the menu – flavors that naturally warm you up.
In the water zone, guests can enjoy a vitality pool with hydromassages and water jets that work out tight backs better than many rollers. And when the weather is nice, a walk along the paths of the Bolimowski Landscape Park does its magic: the rustling leaves, silence, fresh air.
For long autumn evenings, a cozy cinema room is also handy. It offers good sound, comfortable armchairs, and a repertoire that lets you choose “something to immerse yourself in” – from classics to newer titles. You can drop by for one screening after dinner or stay longer and spend a film-filled afternoon when it’s drizzling outside.
And when the sky clears – be sure to go out on the rooftop terrace. In the morning, it’s the place for the first coffee and a view of the waking forest; in the evening, wrapped in a warm blanket, for quiet star gazing. Outside the city, the sky is darker, so on clear nights, you can see much more than in Warsaw. It’s a simple but very pleasant moment: a few minutes of silence, a deep breath, and the awareness that this is exactly why you came here.
Long weekend at the spa – summary
The November long weekend offers a real chance to reset: a few peaceful days, without catching up, with time for the sauna, treatments, and just “doing nothing.” Santa Natura Resort & SPA combines what’s needed: a sensible wellness area, sauna rituals in the garden hut, treatments (also dedicated to men’s skin), good cuisine, and closeness to nature. The result? More energy, better sleep, skin that looks better, and that rare state when you return to duties feeling like you have truly rested. Autumn supports this – just find the autumn package and plan a long weekend at the spa and let your body catch up.
