Below is our visitor guide to Excelsius Wellness: 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 Excelsius Wellness 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.

There is a cold plunge at Excelsius Wellness for the cool-down part of the cycle. Plunge pools are usually kept somewhere around 8–15°C, which is cold enough to feel invigorating but more approachable than an ice bath. Lower yourself in slowly, breathe calmly, and get out when you are ready; even 30 seconds makes a difference.

Expect a practical, results-focused space at Excelsius Wellness. Recovery studios are popular with runners, gym-goers and anyone working on stress or sleep habits, and staff can usually suggest a hot–cold routine if you are new. Showers, towels and lockers are typically provided. Bring a water bottle, and leave enough time to warm up naturally after your final cold round.
