A steam room is a tiled, sealed room filled with warm, saturated steam, usually kept between 40 and 50°C at close to 100% humidity. It feels hotter than the thermometer suggests because sweat cannot evaporate, but the lower temperature makes it gentler than a sauna for many people. Spas often infuse the steam with eucalyptus or mint, and some build aromatic or crystal steam rooms as part of a thermal journey.
People use it to relax, to warm muscles before a massage and because the humid air feels soothing on the airways and the skin. Ten to fifteen minutes is enough, followed by a cool shower; many spas suggest alternating steam, sauna and cold water over a session.
Steam rooms are almost always part of a spa day, gym or facilities pass rather than sold on their own; a thermal facilities pass at a UK spa costs about £25 to £60. The same cautions as sauna apply: not in pregnancy without medical advice, not after alcohol, and check with your GP if you have heart or blood pressure problems or a respiratory condition.

Cardiff Bay is the newest and most polished part of the city, with hotel spas overlooking the water, thermal suites and day spa packages aimed at visitors and groups; it is also where open-water swimming and outdoor saunas have arrived. The City Centre covers the hotels and the leisure spas near the shopping streets. Roath and Canton are residential and good value, with independent yoga and Pilates studios, complementary therapy clinics and community wellbeing projects serving a loyal local clientele.
