Feel the heat, Embrace the cold
We’re excited to be working in collaboration with Island Sauna to introduce structured hot and cold therapy to the spa.
Imagine this: you’re surrounded in warmth, steam rising into the coastal air as the scent of eucalyptus drifts through cedar heat. The gentle crackle of the stove and the stillness of the inlet beyond create a rhythm that slows your breath and quiets the mind.
Set alongside our heated outdoor pools overlooking the Saanich Inlet, this is more than a traditional sauna. It is a deliberately crafted 90-minute ritual of heat, cold immersion, and restorative rest.
Whether seeking a solo reset or sharing the experience with friends, this is an opportunity to reconnect with your body, step away from the everyday, and emerge clear, steady, and renewed.

How to Sauna
A simple hot and cold sequence designed to support circulation, recovery, and overall wellbeing. Each sauna session is 90 minutes, giving you time to move through the steps at your own pace, rest between rounds, and repeat the cycle as it feels right for your body.
Begin with gentle heat, allowing the body to warm gradually and the breath to slow. Move into the cold when ready, keeping immersions brief at first and guided by calm, steady breathing. Rest between rounds, hydrate well, and return to the heat as desired. There is no set number of cycles, listen closely to how your body responds and adjust each round accordingly.
For those new to hot and cold therapy, shorter sauna stays and brief cold plunges are encouraged. More experienced guests may choose to remain longer in each phase, always prioritising comfort, control, and recovery over endurance.
It offers a dedicated space to rest between heat and cold cycles, allowing the body to settle, muscles to soften, and the nervous system to recalibrate before continuing or concluding your sauna ritual. Guests may enjoy complimentary green tea and water, or choose to purchase kombucha to stay gently refreshed throughout the experience.
Shower
Begin with a warm shower to cleanse the skin and prepare the body for heat. Take a moment to settle in before entering the sauna.

Why Sauna?
Regular sauna use, especially when paired with cold exposure, has been shown to support multiple systems in the body. The combination of heat, cold, and rest creates a powerful stimulus for adaptation, recovery, and long-term health. Used consistently and intentionally, sauna and cold plunge are not about extremes or endurance. They are practical tools for recovery, regulation, and long-term health, supporting the body’s natural ability to adapt, rest, and reset.
Sauna
Heat exposure raises core body temperature and increases heart rate in a way comparable to moderate physical exercise. This response improves circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles and joints while supporting cardiovascular health. Increased blood flow helps reduce muscle soreness, ease joint stiffness, and support recovery from both physical strain and chronic pain.
Cold Plunge
Cold plunging activates the nervous system and reduces inflammation. Short, controlled cold exposure has been associated with decreased muscle pain, reduced swelling, and faster recovery following exercise or stress. When combined with calm, steady breathing, cold immersion also supports nervous-system regulation and builds resilience to stress.
Contrast Therapy
Alternating between heat and cold stimulates immune function by encouraging circulation and white blood cell activity. Regular contrast therapy has been linked to fewer sick days and improved immune response over time.
Sleep Regulation
Sauna use has also been strongly associated with improved sleep quality. Heat exposure followed by cooling helps regulate core body temperature, a key factor in falling asleep more easily and achieving deeper, more restorative sleep. Many people report fewer nighttime awakenings and improved sleep consistency after regular sauna sessions.
Mental Wellbeing
Mental health benefits are well documented. Sauna and cold exposure trigger the release of endorphins, dopamine, and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters involved in mood regulation, focus, and stress reduction. Over time, this can support emotional resilience, reduce symptoms of anxiety, and improve overall mental wellbeing.
