Back-to-back consecutive sessions cannot be booked. Booking goes live on Saturdays at 5 PM.

No, the pool deck is a phone-free space to ensure that the privacy of all guests is respected and to help you be fully present for your time in this oasis. Your phone will also thank you, as most devices don’t love wet or hot spaces.

Swimwear is recommended and athletic apparel is also suitable – whatever you’re comfortable swimming and relaxing in! Towels, robes and slippers are provided. No outdoor footwear is permitted. No nudity is permitted.

No food or glassware is permitted at the pool deck. Drinks are permitted - you can bring your own plastic or metal water bottle, or purchase a Flow Water from Tonic Bar. We do not recommend bringing metal water bottles into the sauna, as they will get hot!

Hot and cold therapy is a three-step relaxation ritual. It’s recommended to start with 10-20 minutes in the hot tub or sauna as a source of heat. Step two involves immediately exposing your body to cold water. You can do this via the pool or regular shower for a lower intensity experience, or use the cold plunge shower button to experience a rainfall of 6 degree Celsius cold therapy. The cold plunge shower will run for 30 seconds, but you’re welcome to step out at any time. Step three is all about rest and relaxation. Unwind on the all-season patio for 10-15 minutes to allow your elevated heart rate to settle. We recommend some deep breaths and slow movements to maximize the physical and mental benefits of this relaxation circuit.

No, the Tonic Spa Lounge is reserved for guests who have booked a treatment at Tonic Spa only.

Our goal is to ensure that from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, every aspect of your visit is effortless and restorative.

Practice regularly. More frequent cold plunge and sauna use, on its own or within contrast therapy, is associated with greater benefit.

Be deliberate with your timing. How long you plunge will impact how you feel.

Focus on breath. Intentional breathing patterns will help you get the most out of your experience.

Stay hydrated. Make sure to replenish your water and electrolytes more frequently when sauna bathing.
