Highlights
Outing Highlights
Private, intimate West Coast retreat
The Sauna & Wellness Space is offered only through private bookings for groups of 2–6, so once booked the entire site is reserved exclusively for your party—an intimate setting built for deep relaxation and renewal.
Hot, cold, rest—and repeat
Move through the thermal sequence at your own rhythm: soak in the soothing heat and steam of the outdoor sauna, follow with an invigorating plunge into the cold tub, and use the outdoor shower, change room or wellness dome to rest and reset between rounds.
Fireside and simple comforts
Seating areas with a fire bowl and a self-guided dome for meditation or gentle yoga complement the thermal features; the site also provides a change room, bathroom and complimentary beverages to round out the restorative visit.

Expect a deliberately slow, sensory rhythm: heat and steam in the large outdoor sauna, a sharp wake in the cold plunge tub, then a drawn-out pause by the fire bowl or inside the quiet dome with a cup of complimentary tea. The 90-minute booking is yours alone, so your group of two to six can set the tempo—heat, cool, rest, repeat—without interruption.
