About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa offers a comprehensive thermal therapy experience centered around its diverse sauna and bathing facilities. Spa-goers appreciate the multiple distinct dry saunas, which include themed rooms crafted from materials like clay, rock salt, and charcoal, each providing a unique atmosphere and temperature. Guests can also enjoy hot tubs with hydrotherapy, herbal baths, and steam saunas, with many noting the water is clean and hot. However, there is consistent feedback that the cold therapy options, including the cold pool and ice room, are not cold enough, with the cold pool noted to be a consistent 70 degrees. Some guests also mention that the sauna and steam room temperatures in the gender-separated bathhouses could be hotter for a more effective sweat.

While the venue can get busy, many note it rarely feels overwhelming, though some report difficulty finding an available resting spot during peak times. The overall environment is considered respectful and calming, making it suitable for special occasions like anniversaries.
