Purify ~ Soothe ~ Revive
Authentic sauna experience
Step into our Traditional Sauna room and immerse yourself in an authentic Finnish sauna experience right here in Brisbane. Heated to 90°C, the sauna uses rocks doused with hot water to create soothing, enveloping warmth. This environment begins a natural detoxification process, encouraging deep sweating and enhanced blood flow while promoting overall health and relaxation.
Along with the health benefits this sauna offers, the phone-free environment and atmospheric lighting create an ideal space to disconnect and focus on your mind and body, achieving a state of deep relaxation.
What sets Traditional Saunas apart?
Authentic experience
Originating in Finland, the Traditional Sauna offers an experience that has been refined over hundreds of years. Deeply rooted in Finnish culture, it provides a space for both physical and mental rejuvenation, allowing you to disconnect and immerse yourself in a time-tested practice for relaxation and health benefits.
Heat source
Traditional sauna heaters use hot rocks and water to heat the air, whereas infrared sauna heaters rely on light sources. While both offer different benefits, this sauna model warms the body externally. The heat is felt throughout the environment, providing a more intense heat.
Temperature
This sauna model operates at a higher temperature of 90°C, while most modern Infrared Saunas range between 45°C and 65°C. This intense heat, combined with steam, creates a more challenging environment that stimulates sweating and detoxification.
Steam
Unlike modern saunas, steam is a defining feature of Traditional Saunas. Water poured over the hot rocks generates steam, intensifying the experience and amplifying its benefits for relaxation, detoxification, and respiratory wellness.
Elevate your session with Contrast Therapy
Contrast Therapy alternates between hot and cold treatments to activate your body's natural healing processes. By combining the deep, penetrating heat of the sauna with the invigorating chill of an Ice Bath, this powerful technique boosts blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates muscle recovery.
The contrast in temperatures promotes a shock response, enhancing overall rejuvenation.

How it works
1. Traditional Sauna Session
Begin with a relaxing session in a private room with the Sauna set at 90°C. Customise your experience with a range of scents for added relaxation.
2. Contrast Therapy
After your sauna, immerse yourself in an Ice Bath in the same private room. The rapid temperature change stimulates circulation and helps flush toxins, reducing inflammation and leaving you feeling rejuvenated.
Benefits of Traditional Sauna
Detoxifies
Sweating helps to flush out toxins from the body through the skin.
Boosts Immunity
The preventative qualities of raising your body temperature enhance both cellular health and overall immune function.
Pain Relief and Muscle Recovery
Elevating body temperature prompts blood vessels to dilate, enhancing circulation to alleviate general discomfort as well as muscle and joint pain.
Improves Skin Health
The sauna’s heat opens pores, allowing toxins to be released, which helps to improve the skin's appearance and overall health.
Improved Circulation
The increased heat enhances blood flow, supporting cardiovascular health and promoting more efficient circulation throughout the body.

Regular sauna use can help lower blood pressure, contributing to improved heart health and overall well-being.
