Below is our visitor guide to Luxe Bathhouse: how the facilities work, what a typical session looks like, what it costs, how to get there and which saunas are nearby if you want to compare options.

The traditional sauna at Luxe Bathhouse is the stove-and-stones kind, which heats the air of the whole room. It feels hotter and more enveloping than infrared, so it suits people who enjoy a strong sweat and a proper cool-down between rounds. If you are new to it, sit lower down, where the air is cooler, and build up gradually.

Luxe Bathhouse also has a steam room. Steam rooms run much cooler than saunas, often around 40–50°C, but at close to 100% humidity, so the heat feels heavy and wraps around you. Many people like to alternate between dry sauna and steam, or use the steam room as a gentler warm-up.

Expect Luxe Bathhouse to run on booked sessions, often 60 to 120 minutes, with towels and lockers either included or available to hire, so check when you book. Once inside, there is no set order: most people warm up in the sauna or steam, cool off in the plunge, then rest or soak in the warm water before repeating. Bathhouses attract everyone from first-timers to daily regulars, so follow the room's lead on noise, keep the benches dry with a towel, and give each space its time rather than rushing between them.

Listed prices at Luxe Bathhouse start from about $55 (Treatments from $55). That is close to the typical starting price of around $55 across the Melbourne saunas we list with published prices. Popular times, such as early mornings, evenings and weekends, fill up first, so book online where possible. Prices and session times change, so confirm the current rates on the Luxe Bathhouse website before you go.

• Heat rises, so the top bench of a traditional sauna is noticeably hotter than the bottom one. Choose your level accordingly.
• Rinse off before the steam room and keep steam sessions shorter than sauna rounds.
• Drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and leave the heat straight away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
• Check what Luxe Bathhouse provides, such as towels, robes, lockers and toiletries, so you know what to pack.
