What people say.

I've tried cold plunge studios across Auckland. Nothing comes close to how this place is set up. Private, quiet, and exactly what I needed after a hard week. I've been going for a month and I honestly don't know how I managed without it.

Sarah M.

Booked in for infrared after a heavy month of training. Left feeling completely reset. Not just physically, mentally too. The space is unlike anything on the Kapiti Coast. I'll be back every week without question.

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. All sessions are by appointment only. You can book online or get in touch directly and we'll confirm your time and send everything you need ahead of your visit.

Yes, completely. Every session is reserved exclusively for you. No shared spaces, no strangers, no waiting around. The entire studio is yours for the duration of your booking.

Just yourself. Towels, robes, and everything you need are provided. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothing and arriving a few minutes early for your first visit.

Absolutely. Combo sessions are popular. Pairing cold plunge with infrared sauna, or red light therapy before a massage, works really well. We can help you put together the right combination when you book.

Some treatments are not suitable for certain conditions, including pregnancy, cardiovascular conditions, or active skin concerns. If you are unsure, please get in touch before booking and we will advise on the best options for you.

Sanctuary opens 1 October 2026 on the Kapiti Coast. Join the waitlist to be first to book and receive early access pricing before we go live.

Infrared Sauna

The science behind infrared sauna and why it works.

Infrared heat penetrates deeper than a traditional sauna. Here is what that means for your muscles, circulation, and recovery.

Cold Plunge

Cold plunge: what happens to your body in the first 30 seconds.

The shock, the breath, the clarity. Cold immersion is one of the most powerful tools for mental reset and physical recovery.

Recovery Routine

Why recovery is the part of your routine you keep skipping.

Most people train hard, eat well, and sleep badly. Recovery is the missing piece and it does not have to be complicated.
