Getting a mud bath is a weird but soothing experience. The mud (actually volcanic ash and hot mineral water) is so dense that your body rests on top of it in the tubs, then the rest of the mud is packed around your bod. You lie there in the hot mud for 10 minutes, then you go scrub and shower off (mud gets EVERYWHERE), followed by a cleansing soak in a claw-foot tub complete with pumice stone and glass of chilled mineral water. By the end, I was feeling super-clean and super-relaxed. Huge heated pool outside, perfect for swimming and splashing.
