The cedar barrel sauna on the rooftop terrace facing the jungle canopy

Wellness · Hot & Cold Contrast Therapy · Tulum

Heat. Cold. Breathe. Repeat.

A cedar barrel sauna and an ice bath on the rooftop, jungle on every side, and ten suites so your whole group can do the ritual together — then sleep like they haven't in years.

The ritual

The contrast ritual, on the rooftop

1

Heat

Up to 15 minutes in the cedar barrel sauna as the sun comes up over the canopy.

2

Cold

Up to 3 minutes in the ice bath. Breathe slow, stay calm, let the body do the rest.

3

Rest

Hammock, palapa shade, warm air. Then go again, or roll out a mat.

Guests use the sauna and ice bath at their own risk, 18+, never alone, never after alcohol — the house rules are posted on the rooftop and acknowledged at check-in.
