About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
Astraea Wellness Spa offers private infrared sauna suites that spa-goers describe as luxurious and pristine. Guests can rent one of two private sauna rooms for hourly sessions, which include chromotherapy lighting and a private rain shower with a cold water deluge for contrast therapy. The infrared sauna suite itself is noted as an exceptional space for relaxation. However, guests should be aware that sauna availability is limited and the rental is priced at approximately $100 per hour. The spa does not have a communal locker room or showers outside of the private suites, which some visitors find inconvenient, especially when departing directly after a treatment.
Atmosphere
The spa provides a clean, warm, and peaceful environment dedicated to wellness. The overall atmosphere is relaxing without feeling stifled or hushed. A dedicated relaxation area within each private suite allows guests to make the space their own, complete with beverage and food options. The ambient music is set at a perfect volume to enhance the tranquil experience.
Staff
The staff receives consistent praise for being helpful, kind, and skilled. Specific team members mentioned by name include Coco, who is noted for her warm and comforting spirit, James and Melissa for their excellent massage treatments, Mel for her thorough consultations and "magic hands," and Giancarlo for providing informative tours. The team ensures a seamless experience from booking to checkout.
Additional Amenities
Beyond the sauna, the spa offers a range of massage services, including trauma-informed and highly customized treatments. Amenities during treatments include heated massage tables, weighted blankets, and weighted eye masks, which guests find deeply relaxing. Some services also incorporate a meditation session with a vibrating recliner to prepare for a massage.
