- Treatment time

- Available at
- Legian, Ubud, Canggu
Your visit
The warmth builds slowly while the air stays cooler than in a traditional sauna, so it soothes and never overwhelms.
First, a short conversation about your health, your medicines, how well hydrated you are and how used you are to heat. Then the sauna is yours, with a towel, for up to 20 minutes.
If you feel dizzy, weak, sick, breathless or unwell at any point, step out straight away and tell us.
Aftercare
Many people feel relaxed after one session. Once you have cooled down slowly and had some water, you can carry on with your day, as most people do.
With regular use, results vary. The sauna is no cure, and no substitute for medical treatment of pain or a cardiovascular condition.
Dehydration, dizziness, headache, nausea, low blood pressure, weakness, overheating or brief skin irritation can follow.
If you feel tired, light-headed or dehydrated, rest a while, and skip alcohol and further heat. If you booked ahead, our driver takes you back to Kuta, Legian, Seminyak or Kerobokan.
Good to know
Ideal for
- Slowing down when you feel stressed
- Quiet time on your own
- An active, balanced routine
Please note
Please do not use the sauna if you have unstable heart disease, a recent heart attack or severe aortic stenosis, a narrowed heart valve. The same applies to kidney disease, impaired sweating, or blood pressure far too high or low.
Before your visit
- Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant, prone to fainting or less sensitive to heat.
- Ask them too if a medicine affects your circulation, blood pressure, hydration or temperature control.
- If you have a fever or an active illness, or are dehydrated, please come another day.
- Check with your therapist before going straight into another intensely hot or cold treatment.
You still sweat at lower heat
As you warm, your heart rate may rise and you start to sweat. Both are normal, short-term responses to heat.
We preheat the sauna to about 43°C to 54°C, and it should stay under 60°C.
A session can feel like light exercise, though without its wider health benefits. Tired or tense muscles may ease for a while.
Questions people ask
Sweat is mostly water and salts, and its job is to cool you. Your liver and kidneys handle most of your body’s waste processing, and no strong evidence shows saunas remove stored toxins.
What you lose is mostly water, and it returns once you drink. A sauna is no replacement for regular movement, balanced nutrition or evidence-based weight management.
That is fine. Begin with a shorter session if you like, and we can change the heat and the length for you. Just tell us how you feel.
