About this experience
Victoria’s first open-air sauna village invites guests to unwind in a tranquil setting designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. With three distinct saunas and a refreshing cold plunge, sessions extend to a soothing 1 hour and 45 minutes, allowing ample time for ritualistic sauna experiences. Daily guided Aufguss rituals enhance the experience, infusing the air with essential oils while rhythmic movements amplify the heat and scent. This sacred space fosters community connection, making it an ideal retreat for solo travelers or groups seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Itinerary and highlights
Heat. Cold. Rest. Repeat until you've forgotten what day it is.
Over 105 minutes, guests move through your Nordic heat-and-cold ritual at their own pace. You'll cycle between the sauna - warming the body deeply - and the cold plunge, held at a bracing 6–7°C, then settle into quiet rest space to let everything come back down. Most guests repeat that cycle several times across the session: heat, cold, rest, again.
Come in the evening and you'll take part in your daily Aufguss, included with entry — a guided sauna ceremony where steam and scent are worked through the room in a slow, deliberate ritual of heat done properly.
Towel service, electrolyte water, and tea are all provided. Nothing to pack, nothing to think about — just arrive in your swimwear and follow the rhythm.
It's the kind of thing your body asks for after a day of wandering Victoria on foot — or the bike tour, or the whale watching. You did the moving. Now do the stillness.
