The Barrel Sauna and Cold Plunge lets you experience contrast therapy, moving at your own rhythm. Start with the outdoor twin showers with the most breathtaking landscape views of the mountain ranges and beyond, then step into the cedar wood fire barrel sauna for some deep breathing techniques, cool off in the whisky barrel cold plunge baths, and rest on the wooden sun loungers on the outdoor relaxation deck. After your private sauna, you will feel pampered with this refreshing and rejuvenating treatment — your skin will feel smoother and firmer after just one treatment. One hour, $120 per couple. Served with refreshments. A limited hot tub option is available.
