FAQ

It's how you reserve your All-Access membership before we open. You pay $129 today, and it's applied directly to your first month. Your membership begins the day we open, and you keep the $129/mo rate for as long as you're a member. Only 50 Early Bird passes are offered at this price.

All 50 Founding Memberships are sold out. Thank you, Vashon! Early Bird is the next tier: All-Access for $129/mo, locked in for as long as you're a member (regularly $199/mo). When the Early Bird passes are gone, the rate steps up to $149, then $199/mo.

It's the ritual of moving between heat and cold: time in the sauna, a cold plunge, then rest, repeated a few rounds. People have been doing it for centuries to relax, recover, and feel more alive. We just think it's better with neighbors on the bench beside you.

We have three large LIT METHOD saunas, each set to its own temperature up to 220°F, so you can find the heat that's right for you. They're built with Thermo Aspen wood inside and aerospace-grade aluminum outside, with dual heat: medical-grade red light and a traditional HUUM stone heater in every one.

Absolutely. Our stainless steel, chemical-free plunges run at varying temperatures (as low as 37°F), so you can start gentle and find the cold that's right for your body. There's no wrong way to begin. Even a few seconds counts.

Our powerful UVC LED filtration system keeps every plunge clean with no harsh chemicals needed.

People turn to contrast therapy for faster muscle recovery, better circulation, less inflammation, a boosted mood, and a clearer head. Plus the simple joy of warming up with friends on a rainy island day.

Start with about 30 seconds and work up gradually. Most people settle in around 2–3 minutes. Listen to your body; there's no prize for staying in longest.

Two to four sessions a week is a great rhythm for most people, though some members love making it a daily ritual.

A red light therapy lounge with six private and shared spaces, a temperature-controlled Himalayan salt cave powered by a Halogenerator, and a VIP lounge for quiet recovery.

Your swimsuit, a towel and/or robe, a water bottle, and flip-flops or sandals. Forgot your towel? We'll have towels available for purchase. And since we're open in every season, a warm layer for between rounds is never a bad idea. Rain included.

Guests must be 18 or older.
