CBD is the acronym for cannabidiol, which is a cannabinoid. CBD is a hemp-derived, non-psychoactive natural product. This means it’s not intoxicating, does not make you drowsy, and is fully legal. It has a calming, anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic (muscle-soothing) effect. Unlike the well-known cannabinoid THC, CBD is not psychoactive.
Switzerland’s
first CBD Spa
Leave the world behind, loosen up the body, free the mind.
Everything in the CBD Spa is centred around the safe and natural plant extracts of CBD and vital mushrooms. These realign your body’s homeostasis (balance) and illicit deeper moments of calm.
Treatment-wraps will moisturise, purify and refresh - all while a floating bed leaves you in a state of weightlessness and ease. Massages will reactivate and regenerate. Facials, manicures and pedicures will get you glowing.
opening hours
Open daily from midday until 9pm to guests aged 16+.
The pool and textile sauna is open to children accompanied by an adult.
Kiara
Merging the alternate & traditional
Kiara Naturals grows, harvests, and extracts only the highest-quality plants for the oils and remedies that we use in treatments and massages. These products promote the recovery process in a natural way, stimulate the body’s self-regulatory powers and defences, and bring destabilised systems back into their natural balance.

What? Why? How?
CBD: the facts...
What is CBD?
01
What are the effects of CBD?
02
CBD is relaxing, soothing and anti-inflammatory. Many use it for sleep or stress-related issues, and 1000s of studies have shown CBD’s high medicinal potential (there are areas where CBD has already been medically and therapeutically implemented). We use CBD oil in our treatments, CBD herbs in the sauna, and CBD herbal teas that promote relaxation.
Do CBD products have an intoxicating effect?
03
No. CBD is not intoxicating and is considered non-psychoactive. This is unlike THC which is both intoxicating and psychoactive. We never use THC.
Is CBD legal?
04
Yes - it’s legal in Switzerlands and, from our knowledge, in most countries assuming it’s derived from hemp. This is because, unlike THC, CBD has no psychoactive effect. There are both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products that contain CBD.
Can I have a treatment/massage without CBD?
05
Yes, of course. We can carry out any treatment or massage using our range of CBD-free oils and products that can either invigorate or relax.
What are cannabinoids?
06
Cannabinoids are natural constituents and active ingredients of the hemp plant. They occur in the blossoms (these yield the highest concentration of cannabinoids), leaves and stems of the hemp plant. There are also synthetic cannabinoids, however the CBD used in Kiara products are exclusively plant-based.
What is hemp?
07
Hemp is an age-old healing plant. Since 3000 BC, hemp has been cultivated for its valuable plant parts. Textiles, sails, rope and paper are produced from its fibres, while its seeds are pressed into cooking oil for a high content of valuable fatty acids. The seeds can also be directly consumed.
What is hemp used for?
08
In folk medicine, the hemp blossom and leaf have been used as a remedy against all kinds of diseases and ailments as well as a basis for the distillation of essential oils. These can, for example, be used in aromatherapy or in the production of perfumes and cosmetic products.

3. MEDITERRANEAN BATH
Given its milder heat, this is a place to stay a while. Inspired by the spa habits of ancient Romans, the Mediterranean Bath brings about slow sweating to improve sleep quality, skin elasticity, and the elimination of metabolic waste.

7. SALT ROOM
First you stimulate, then you rest. To get the most out of our saunas, and optimise your body’s regeneration, it’s best to alternate between hot and cold environments. Enter the Salt Relaxation Room where you can do the latter surrounded by the right balance of warmth, light and minerals.
