Hot and cold therapy, also known as contrast therapy, involves alternating between hot and cold treatments to promote healing and recovery. 

Incorporating hot and cold therapy into your self-care routine can be a great way to support your overall well-being: Activate the parasympathetic nervous system, boost cardiovascular health, support sports performance, muscle recovery, improve cognitive function and mental health.

1. Sauna first, start with 15-30 minutes.
2. Cold plunge, aim to stay in for at least 30 seconds for first-timers (if you can!). Work towards 1-3 minutes at your own pace for optimal results. 
3. Dry off and rest, stay hydrated. 
4. Repeat as many times as you like, alternating between hot and cold.

Tips:

• Do box breathing before and/or during your cold plunge: Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds. Repeat.
• While in the cold plunge, keep your arms and legs out of the tub first (it’ll be more comfortable for first-timers!). Put your arms and legs in the tub when you’re ready to fully submerge.

Hideaway offers both semi-private and private bathhouse experience to maintain an intimate atmosphere, with options that allow for both solo escape and shared relaxation.

Our semi-private bathhouse features 4 individual pods in a shared space. In each pod, you’ll have your own infrared sauna (1-2 pax) and cold plunge, and you can also bring max 1 guest to your pod. Shower facilities are available.

Our fully private suite features your own infrared sauna (2-3 pax), cold plunge, and private shower.

Infrared saunas heat the body directly rather than the air, so the temperature may not feel as intense upon entry; it gradually increases with you inside the sauna. In contrast, traditional saunas heat the air first, often creating higher humidity, which can make the heat feel more immediate and intense upon entry. 

It’s important to note that a hotter sauna doesn’t necessarily mean better health benefits, as both infrared and traditional saunas deliver maximum results at different optimal temperatures, with differences in comfort levels. 

Infrared saunas offer optimal benefits with a gentler, more comfortable heat in the range of 45-60°C. Hideaway’s bathhouse is equipped with all infrared saunas.

Choose between the semi-private or private options depending on your privacy preference.

Book a pod/suite based on your preferred cold plunge temperature:

• Semi-private bathhouse cold plunge: 8°C or 10°C

Semi-private bathhouse: For $20 each visit, you may bring max 1 guest to your pod. 

Private bathhouse: For $20 each visit, you may bring up to 3 guests to your suite.
