Island Sauna Sessions
Imagine this: you're surrounded in warmth, the air hums with the scent of eucalyptus; the only sound is the rhythmic crackle of wood in the sauna stove. This isn't a dream; it's an Island Sauna session, ready to transport you to pure bliss.

Whether seeking a solo escape or a rejuvenating experience with loved ones, an Island Sauna session is more than just a sauna treatment; it's a chance to reconnect with nature, escape the every day, and emerge feeling refreshed, revitalized, and utterly renewed.

Benefits of Cold Plunge
Deliberate cold exposure causes a significant release of epinephrine (aka adrenaline), norepinephrine (aka noradrenaline), serotonin and dopamine in the brain and body when you get your body to a point of deliberate shivering. Cold causes their levels to stay elevated for some time, and their ongoing effect after the exposure is to increase your level of energy and focus, which can be applied to other mental and/or physical activities.
Proven health benefits of deliberate cold exposure once the body reaches a point of shivering include:
- reduction in inflammation
- improved circulation
- boosted immune system response
