Immersed in Nature, Built for Connection

Wellspace Sauna Club is the go-to spot for those who crave more than just a night out. We've created a new kind of social scene - healthy, high-vibe, and hangover-free. Drop in for 3 rounds of 75min community sauna and cold therapy, and take a moment to connect with yourself, with others and with nature.

Sweat in our traditional wood-fired barrel sauna, plunge into the icy cold waters, then relax around the fire for some wholesome fireside chats. Wellspace is building real community with real people through powerful shared experiences, providing a warm and welcoming space for deeper conversations, stronger connections.

With epic natural landscapes, vibey atmosphere and an authentic crew, we attract high-vibe, open minded and fun loving legends who want to feel good, look good and live well.

We invite you and your people to join the club, met new people, reconnect with friends and feel alive!- no membership required.

How does contrast hydrotherapy work?

Contrast hydrotherapy combines the invigorating effects of hot and cold elements to enhance your wellbeing. Embrace the warmth of our wood-fired sauna, followed by a refreshing plunge into icy cold waters.
