Winter Sauna

Overview

Surry Hill's stunning fitness space Paramount Recreation Club is offering Sydneysiders a new way to stay warm this winter. The wellness centre has teamed up with Bondi health brand Nimbus and Co to bring you an infrared sauna on its rooftop — and it'll be open to the public for three full months.

The glass-walled sauna studio is located in the middle of a cacti garden and overlooks the city skyline. It features linen robes by In Bed, bespoke furnishings and greenery aplenty from the Plant Society. If you like to enjoy some tunes while you sweat it out, the sauna also includes built-in speakers, which you can pair your own devices to. Complimentary refreshments round out this luxe offering.

And the sauna experience isn't just about perspiration, either, with this infrared version having additional detoxifying benefits. Supposedly, it has been found to improve skin and immune system health, increase metabolism, help de-stress, aid in better sleep and relieve pain.

Even if you're sceptical of these benefits, it's certainly a fun way to warm up during the chillier winter days. A solo hour session in the sauna will set you back $60, $80 if you take a friend and $90 if you bring two.

The Winter Sauna is open from Monday–Friday, 7am–8pm and Saturday–Sunday, 7am–2.30pm.
