Differences Between Spas and Saunas

Spas are more all-inclusive and focused on relaxation, offering services like facials, massages, and mud baths. In contrast, saunas are simpler hot rooms where you can sweat out toxins, often cheaper or even free in certain locations. Saunas can be heated using hot rocks, while spas are usually perceived as more upscale and can be expensive.
