( 01 ) The therapy

Heat, cold,
repeat.

In nature · Fire and iceThe Finnish ritual: deep sauna heat, then the icy plunge of a winter lake.

Heat raises your heart rate gently and warms you through. Cold is a sharp wake-up. Moving between the two a few times leaves most guests calm and wide awake at once, which is why contrast has become a ritual for athletes everywhere.

Our Finnish-style sauna is lined in warm wood with a glowing salt wall, and the clinical cold plunge is chilled for a short, bracing dip. Our team will guide your first round: how long to stay in each, and how to breathe through the cold.

Asked
often.

Do you have a sauna and cold plunge in Mumbai?

What is contrast therapy?
Contrast therapy alternates heat and cold, usually sauna and cold plunge, a few rounds at a time. It supports circulation, recovery and mood.
How long should I stay in the cold plunge?
Start with a short dip and build gradually. Our team guides your first session.
