RITUAL Nordic Spa

RITUAL Nordic Spa offers a traditional Finnish sauna experience in a modern urban setting, featuring cedar and basswood saunas. Spa-goers consistently note the excellent sauna temperature and impeccable cleanliness, with well-maintained wood and good ventilation. The cold plunge pool is described as frightfully frigid and provides an excellent contrast for therapy, complemented by Nordic bucket showers. Guests appreciate the effective contrast between the hot sauna and the cold plunge, with many noting significant recovery benefits for their muscles. The spa also provides a steam room, which at times features eucalyptus or peppermint scents. This core Nordic circuit is central to the experience.

Beyond the sauna and cold plunge, the spa features a soothing Himalayan salt room for relaxation. The atmosphere is quiet and the space is intentionally small and intimate, which many guests find private and appealing. The facility is consistently described as very clean and well-maintained, with clean towels and non-chemical toiletries provided. Staff are generally noted as friendly and welcoming. The spa also offers private sauna suites, massage services, and a licensed café. As Victoria's first Scandinavian-style Nordic spa, it focuses on a restorative circuit experience rather than warm water immersion, which is not offered.
