Pro move: Do the ritual slowly — 30–45 minutes is ideal. Hydrate before and after.

Step-by-Step

  1. Warm Lagoon Soak
    Settle your breathing, float near the edge, and let your heart rate relax.
  2. Cold Plunge
    A short dip ($10–60$ seconds) triggers a healthy stress response.
    • Benefits: Vasoconstriction, mental clarity, reduced inflammation.
    • Tip: Exhale as you step in; keep shoulders under for a moment.
  3. Ocean-View Sauna
    Floor-to-ceiling glass with sea panoramas — heat promotes circulation.
    • Sit at mid-level for balanced heat; towel under legs for comfort.
  4. Cold Mist Room
    A gentle reset that preps your skin for exfoliation; breathe slowly.
  5. Sky Body Scrub
    Apply evenly with small circular motions; avoid face and sensitive areas.
    • Focus: Elbows, knees, shins — rinse lightly before steam.
  6. Steam Room
    Heat + humidity activate the scrub; pores open for deep cleanse.
    • 5–8 minutes is plenty; exit if lightheaded.
  7. Rinse + Relax
    A warm shower finishes the cycle; return to the lagoon to savor the afterglow.

Safety & Listen to Your Body

  • Skip or shorten the cold plunge if pregnant, hypertensive, or advised by your physician.
  • Stay hydrated; limit alcohol before heat and cold exposure.
  • If dizzy, sit and cool down; staff are trained to assist.

What You’ll Feel

  • Calm focus, warm limbs, bright skin, and a pleasant post-sauna glow.
  • Most guests report improved sleep the night after.

Tip: Pair your ritual with a quiet corner in the lagoon afterward — near rock walls for shelter.
