Heat and cold are the backbone of a Little Luxe stay. The cedar sauna and the Polar Dive cold plunge sit side by side on the wellness deck, and alternating them is the fastest way we know to change how you feel in an afternoon.
The order matters
Start hot. Ten to fifteen minutes in the sauna, until you are properly warm, not just comfortable. Then straight to the plunge.
How cold, how long
Thirty seconds to two minutes is plenty. You are not trying to win anything. Get out when your breath settles.
How many rounds
Three rounds of hot to cold is the sweet spot for most guests. Finish on cold if you want to feel sharp, finish on heat if you want to sleep.
Then stop
Water, the fire pit, and nothing else on the schedule. That is the protocol.
