Ask your doctor first

The circuit

Three lanes, taken in any order

Warm up in a pool, move to a heat room, cool off, then rest. Go around again if your session allows.

The circuit, room by room

  1. Pools

    Three pools at three temperatures, so you choose how warm to go. Most guests start in the warm pool and work up.

    • A wide warm pool for a long soak

    • A smaller hot pool for shorter stays

    • A cool pool to finish a round

    An indoor pool of bright blue water with loungers along the far wall under a gold-lit ceiling

  2. Heat rooms

    A steam room and a dry cedar sauna. Sit on a towel, keep a few minutes at a time and step out when you want to.

    • Steam room: tiled benches, soft steam

    • Cedar sauna: dry heat on two levels

    • Leave if you feel dizzy or unwell

  3. Quiet room

    Loungers, tea and water, and a rule of quiet. This is where the circuit ends, for as long as your session runs.

    • Robes and loungers

    • Tea and water

    • No phones, no talking above a whisper

Questions before you book

More questions

What should I wear?

A swimsuit in the pools, the steam room and the sauna. We provide towels and a locker, and robes for the quiet room.

How early should I arrive?

Fifteen minutes before your session, to check in, shower and find your locker. If you arrive late your session still ends on time, so the next guests aren't kept waiting.

I'm pregnant, or I have a heart condition. Can I come?

Ask your doctor first, before you book. Heat affects people differently and we can't judge it for you. Leave any hot room if you feel dizzy or unwell.

How old do I need to be?

The pools, steam room, sauna and massage are for guests 18 and over. We check at the desk, and we don't offer a family session.

Can I come with a group?

Yes. Up to four friends can share a private pool room, and groups of six or more book by phone so we can set aside time and space.

Can I bring my phone?

Keep it in your locker. No phones or photos where guests are changing, in the pools or in the quiet room.
