Infrared Sauna Therapy
Do you find a traditional sauna too hot to enjoy? Here infrared heat warms your body while the air stays cooler, and you have the sauna to yourself.

Good to know
It suits you if you
- Feel stressed and want to slow down
- Want quiet time on your own
- Keep an active, balanced routine
Not with unstable heart disease, a recent heart attack, severe aortic stenosis, kidney disease, impaired sweating, or blood pressure far too high or low.
Afterwards
After cooling down slowly and drinking water, most people carry on with their day, and many feel relaxed after one session. 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. Our driver takes you back to Kuta, Legian, Seminyak or Kerobokan if you booked ahead.
Before and after your visit
- Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant, prone to fainting or less sensitive to heat.
- Also ask if a medicine affects your circulation, blood pressure, hydration or temperature control.
- Come another day if you have a fever or an active illness, or are dehydrated.
- Check with your therapist before going straight into another intensely hot or cold treatment.
You still sweat at lower heat
The sauna is preheated to about 43°C to 54°C and should stay under 60°C. As you warm, your heart rate may rise and you start to sweat. Both are normal short-term responses to heat.
A session can feel like light exercise, without its wider health benefits. Tired or tense muscles may ease for a while.
Questions people ask
Sweat is mostly water and salts, and it cools you. Your liver and kidneys do most of the body’s waste processing, and no strong evidence shows saunas remove stored toxins.
What you lose is mostly water, and it comes back when you drink. A sauna does not replace regular movement, balanced nutrition or evidence-based weight management.
Begin with a shorter session if you like. The heat and length can change to suit you, so tell us how you feel.
