This guide explains what to expect at TANK Riviera, from the facilities and session format to prices, getting there and similar venues close by, so you can decide whether it suits you before you book.

TANK Riviera has a traditional sauna: a timber room heated by a stove and stones rather than infrared panels. Temperatures in traditional saunas usually sit between 70 and 90°C, and the heat surrounds you rather than warming you from one direction. Short rounds of around 10 minutes, followed by a cool-down, are the usual way to use it.

TANK Riviera pairs its heat with a cold plunge. Moving from sauna to cold water is the core of contrast therapy, and most people find a plunge in the 8–15°C range bracing but manageable. Step in rather than jumping, keep your breathing slow, and follow it with a few minutes of rest before your next round.

A visit to TANK Riviera works like most modern bathhouses: you book a timed session, check in, change into swimwear and then move freely between the heat, the cold and the warm pools at your own pace. A good rhythm is a sauna round of 10–15 minutes, a short cold plunge, then a few minutes resting or soaking before you go again. Bathhouses are social spaces, but most have quiet zones and expect phones to stay in the lockers. Allow time at the end to shower, rehydrate and cool down properly before you head off.

• Heat rises, so the top bench of a traditional sauna is noticeably hotter than the bottom one. Choose your level accordingly.
• Enter the cold plunge feet-first and slowly, and get out whenever you need to. There is no target time.
• Drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and leave the heat straight away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
• Check what TANK Riviera provides, such as towels, robes, lockers and toiletries, so you know what to pack.
