Everyone’s wellness journey is different. One’s approach to self-care can take them to the park, a nearby yoga studio or their local gym. In our case, self-care brings us to the spa. From steam-filled saunas to massage tables, outdoor thermal baths, and guided meditations, a personalized path to elevating your mental and physical well-being awaits.
The Benefits of Thermotherapy
Commonly referred to as the thermal cycle, thermotherapy is a 2000-year-old Nordic tradition. It begins with heat—15 to 20 minutes in a sauna—followed by cold—10 to 15 seconds in a cold plunge—and ends with rest—at least 20 minutes of relaxation. To reap all the benefits of this practice, complete at least two full thermal cycles during your visit.
