Bare in Body,
Rich in Spirit.
An Austin Oasis
Imagine a refuge where the aroma of cedarwood fills the space, and the melodies of steam and water craft a backdrop of peace. A curated coed, nude bathhouse experience—celebrating vulnerability and unity, where the heat of the sauna encourages inner contemplation and the cold water reawakens. An experience truly different and profoundly serene.
Welcome to the Bathhouse
As you arrive and push past the heavy doors you enter an enclave. A place to escape, reset, recover and when you need it find introspection.
You are greeted by one of our welcoming staff that will help check you in and offer advice for first time visitors.
After locking away all of your electronics and other belongings you are welcome to begin by showering and making your way towards one of our traditional saunas. We pride ourselves on keeping each sauna clean and hygienic.
Offering another opportunity to rinse off the sweat; large curved stained-glass windows provide a special backdrop around the central lounge and cold plunge pool.
You are invited to repeat this cycle many times. Contrast therapy has many health benefits but more importantly you will find your mind begin to let go with each subsequent iteration of this routine.
At our bathhouse we also offer turkish steam baths, foot baths, sunbeds and lounge where you can pick up a book or order a refreshing snack and beverage between rounds.
The Sauna Experience
The heat of the sauna is the foundation of the bathhouse experience. We offer four experiences:
The Nordic
Traditional nordic saunas built with cedar-wood that heat up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Here the air is dry and hot and you can start by sitting on the lower shelf and then move up one step at a time when the sweating starts. Sit as long as is comfortable, usually 5-15 minutes, but it is individual.
In this space we invite for quite contemplation. Please abstain from speaking if strangers are present.
If space is available a venik treatment is possible upon request.
Singing Dunes
Salt and Desert sauna. Sit back, close your eyes and listen to the soft singing of the sandy expanses. Here, a warm desert wind sweeps over body and mind to the tune of the music - the special "huu sound" - that the dunes spread over miles of emptiness. Singing Dunes offers ionized salt therapy, which is mentally beneficial for, for example, anxiety and insomnia, and the positive effect of desert singing has been known since ancient times.
Tip: Try humming along to the song, listen inwardly, get closer to yourself.
Hamam, a Turkish Bath
Lie down on a göbektaşı (belly stone) where marble kiss the warm steam, The hamam, a centuries-old sanctuary, invites you to embark on a sensory journey unlike any other. Illuminated by lanterns and mosaics you may either bath in the steam or participate in the traditional cleaning ritual by booking one of our expert attendants — ready to guide you through a therapeutic rite. Surrender to their skilled touch as they exfoliate and massage, rejuvenating your skin and awakening your spirit.
Conclude your hamam journey with a refreshing splash of cool water, reviving your senses and marking the perfect end to an age-old ritual. Leave feeling invigorated, balanced, and deeply connected to a rich tapestry of history.
Aromatherapy
Our final sauna is a Herb and Crystal Sauna. Enjoy the meditative music, the embracing warmth, the crystals and the scents of fresh thyme, rosemary and mint that are placed on the unit and diffused into the air via the steam. The atmosphere and aromas enhance your mood, no matter which one you're in, so this is a good sauna to end with when you've had time to unwind. Find balance and presence in the process and take part in a velvety experience that has become a favorite for many of our guests.
“In the sanctuary of the bathhouse, we confront both the heat of challenge and the cold of adversity, reminding ourselves that it is not external temperatures that unsettle us, but our internal judgments of them.”
