Plunge into cold water that awakens every nerve. Rest in our tea lounge while your body integrates both extremes.

A Nordic spa is a thermal experience based on the heat-cold-rest cycle practised for centuries across Scandinavia and Northern Europe. You alternate between hot sauna, cold water immersion, and relaxation periods. This contrast therapy may improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote recovery (Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025).
AetherHaus draws from German Aufguss and Russian Banya traditions, not just Finnish sauna culture. We use a Himalayan salt sauna, offer communal cold plunge pools, and maintain a phone-free environment with no timers or clocks. Our approach emphasizes sensation-based practice over prescribed protocols.
Sessions are 90 minutes. We do not prescribe how long to stay in the sauna or cold plunge. Your body will tell you when it is time to move between heat, cold, and rest.
No prior experience is needed. Our guides support first-timers and experienced practitioners alike. We offer multiple temperature options in our cold plunge pools and help you find your own rhythm. es that combine free flow with intentional structure. Depending on the session, you may move through a guided Aufguss ritual, Yin Yoga, or Sound Journey. Each offering is designed to help your body reset and your mind unwind
Bring a swimsuit and reusable water bottle. We provide towels, robes, shower amenities, and lockers. Leave phones and devices behind to fully settle into the experience.
Cold plunge is safe for most people when approached gradually. Our Wim Hof-trained instructors guide you through the process. Start with brief immersions and listen to your body's signals. Those with cardiovascular conditions should consult a healthcare provider before cold water immersion.
