Infrared Sauna

Personal infrared sauna pods operating at 45–60°C, heating the body directly for a deeply penetrating heat experience. Paired with cold plunge for contrast therapy in a Japanese-inspired bathhouse setting.

Hideaway's infrared saunas differ from traditional Finnish-style saunas by using infrared light to heat the body directly rather than warming the surrounding air. This produces a more moderate ambient temperature (45–60°C) while still generating deep tissue heat, making sessions more tolerable for extended durations without the intense heat load of conventional saunas. Each semi-private pod at Hideaway is equipped with its own individual infrared sauna cabin, ensuring guests have exclusive use of their sauna for the full 60-minute session — no queue, no sharing. The private suite offers a dedicated infrared sauna alongside a personal cold plunge and private shower, suitable for couples or small groups seeking full seclusion. Contrast therapy — alternating between the infrared sauna and the cold plunge — is the core protocol at Hideaway, with the bathhouse layout designed to make the hot-to-cold transition seamless. Research supports contrast therapy's benefits for recovery, mood regulation, immune function, and metabolic rate. The ambient design of the space — dark timber, soft lighting, Japanese textile wall features — creates a contemplative environment suited to breathwork and mindfulness practices between contrast cycles. Sessions include access to the tea lounge for post-protocol recovery.
