Experience the Wellness Lounge Difference
What is on offer?
Opened in 2022 as Cardiff's first Contrast Therapy Lounge, The Wellness Lounge offers a fully private, luxury setting designed to help you unwind and recover. With therapies like full-spectrum sauna, cold plunge, pressotherapy, and oxygen treatments, we provide an exclusive experience focused on your wellness. Enjoy complimentary electrolyte drinks, warm teas, sweets, and fresh towels, ensuring every session is both effective and indulgent.
Our Recovery Lounge offers a carefully curated selection of therapies designed to support both physical recovery and mental relaxation:
-
Full-Spectrum Sauna & Cold Plunge: This contrast therapy alternates between heat and cold to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance muscle recovery, leaving you feeling revitalised.
-
Pressotherapy: A specialised compression treatment that promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces muscle soreness, and aids detoxification, ideal for those seeking relief from fatigue or tension.
-
Red Light Therapy: This light-based therapy penetrates deep into the skin to promote healing, improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and support cellular repair.
All of these are included in your room hire, you simply hire the room for as long as you need, and you can also choose an option to bring a friend for a small additional charge.

Questions?
What shall I bring?
Simply bring your swimwear—everything else is taken care of. We provide towels, robes, and crocs for your comfort, as well as water, electrolytes, hair clips, deodorant, books, and more, so you can fully relax and enjoy your experience.
How long shall I plan?
We recommend planning for the time you’ll spend on each therapy, plus a little extra for changing and relaxing. Here’s a general guide:
-
Traditional Sauna: Around 20 minutes
-
Infrared Sauna: Approximately 40 minutes
-
Red Light Therapy: 10 minutes
-
Pressotherapy: 15-30 minutes
-
Cold Plunge: 1-10 minutes, depending on your experience and comfort with the temperature
Feel free to customise the duration of each therapy to suit your needs, and enjoy the flexibility to take things at your own pace.
If you are bringing a friend the pressotherapy and red light is for one person at a time so could be a bottleneck so you may want to include more time for that.
What temperature is the bath?
We tailor the temperature based on your experience level, which you can indicate on our intake form. As a guide:
-
Beginner: Around 9.5-10°C
-
Intermediate: Approximately 7°C
-
Advanced: Between 3-5°C
This customisation allows you to ease into the experience or challenge yourself as you progress.
Can I bring a friend or partner?
Yes, absolutely! When booking, simply select the "Bring a Friend" option. The lounge is ideally suited for 1-2 people due to its intimate size, but we can accommodate up to 3 guests upon request.
Do I share the lounge with other people?
When you book the Recovery Lounge, the entire space is reserved exclusively for you—no sharing, even with a single booking.
The only interruptions will be our friendly hosts, here to guide your experience, manage timings, and support you through your cold plunge session
