Infrared Sauna
Our private, infrared sauna will help you relax and detoxify your body, leaving your skin glowing and clean, and burning lots of calories as well!
Sauna benefits
Sauna sweating has been proven to help you relax and detoxify your body. It will leave your skin glowing and clean as the increased circulation draw’s your skin’s natural nutrients to the surface. The infrared radiant heat of a Clearlight® infrared sauna warms three times as deep as conventional saunas. Infrafred heat can help to relieve inflammation, stiffness and soreness by increasing blood circulation to relax your muscles.
It is also effective more specifically in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.
Regular use of a sauna imparts a similar boost on the cardiovascular system to running*. As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body is hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood and burning calories. A 30-minute session can burn somewhere between 250 calories or more.
Infrared sauna therapy can help keep blood pressure normal, lower cholesterol levels and reduce chronic pain.**
Our Sauna includes Chromatherapy, the science of using wavelengths of colour light to affect your body and mind for improved health and happiness. There are 15 LED lights in an array of 6 colours, green, red, yellow, turquoise and violet. Each different colour can have a positive effect on your mind and body. It can help you relax so your body can heal and rejuvenate.

Makeup, hair and tanning products
Please never enter the pool wearing makeup or any products capable of colouring or tainting the pool water, including non-permanent or recently applied hair colouring or tints, or tanning products. It’s best to arrive without makeup on, rather than try to clean it off in the floatation suite. This is important as any of these products can contaminate the water, requiring the pool to be closed, drained, cleaned and refilled: an expensive, time-consuming process that can cost up to £1,000!
Alcohol or drugs
You should never use the floatation pool under the influence of alcohol or drugs with a sedative effect.
