Please note that in the event of lightning or thunderstorms, outdoor pools will be temporarily closed in accordance with Health Regulations. All other amenities will remain available.
Your reservation may also be affected by unexpected operational issues (e.g., power outages). In such rare circumstances, Vettä may need to cancel or modify your reservation. If your visit- including hydrotherapy, relaxation, and any food & beverage time, but excluding massage time- exceeds three hours due to these issues, no compensation will be provided.

For the best health benefits, we suggest spending 2.5 to 3 hours completing the hydrotherapy cycles. That said, there is no time limit, and you’re invited to relax and enjoy the experience at your own rhythm.
You’re welcome to bring items that make your visit more comfortable, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, a non-glass reusable water bottle, a book or magazine, or an e-reader. Please note that we are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal belongings, and recommend keeping valuables to a minimum.
