The Cove Sauna and Cold Plunge

Infrared saunas use far-infrared wavelengths to heat body tissue directly at lower ambient temperatures (45–60°C), unlike traditional Finnish saunas that heat the air to 80–100°C. Contrast therapy combines heat and cold. Check each venue's service list or contact them directly to confirm which type they offer.

Most infrared sauna studios offer casual single sessions, though packages are usually 20–30% cheaper per session. Confirm with the venue before booking — look for a "single session" or "casual visit" option on their website or booking page.

Amenity inclusions vary by venue. Higher-end studios typically include showers, towels, and sometimes a cool-down area or cold plunge. Budget studios may charge extra or require you to bring your own towel — check the venue page or call ahead.

Most cold plunge venues maintain water between 5–15°C (40–59°F). Serious cold exposure protocols typically target 10–12°C. Look for venues that publish their temperature or update it daily — this indicates proper maintenance and transparency.
