The Hot Stone Sauna

Know before you go

Everything practical about your visit, in the order you’ll need it.

Step 1

Before you arrive

  • Arrive five to ten minutes before your slot. Sessions start on time, and a late arrival eats into your own booking rather than the next one.
  • Bring a swimsuit, a towel, and flip-flops or sandals. You will be walking on wet decking.
  • Eat something light beforehand, but not a full meal. Come hydrated.
  • Leave valuables at home where you can. Secure storage is on site, but storage is limited.

Step 2

While you’re here

  • Shower before you get into the ice bath. Everyone shares the same water and the same benches.
  • At The Hot Stone, hygiene is extremely important to us, and the water in the ice bath changes after every 10 uses.
  • Sit on your towel in the sauna. Move to a lower bench if the top gets too warm.
  • Go into the ice bath slowly and breathe out as you go in. Do not jump or dive.
  • Come out when you have had enough, not when the clock says so. There is no prize for staying longer.
  • Keep it quiet enough that other people can hear themselves think.

Step 3

After your session

  • Warm up gradually rather than jumping straight into a hot shower.
  • Drink water. You will have lost more than you think.
  • Give yourself time before driving. Heat and cold can leave you light-headed for a while.

How it works, unstaffed

No front desk, no waiting — and nothing left to chance.

  • Tap-in entry

    Book in app and your pass opens the door for your slot. Nothing to download at the door.

  • Monitored, respectfully

    CCTV covers shared areas — never the changing rooms.

  • Never crowded

    Sessions capped at 10. Your hour is your hour.

  • Cleaned throughout the day

    The space is checked and cleaned through the day. Bring swimwear, a towel and flip-flops.
