A Hot Place To ChillDesert Heat Infrared Sauna in New Buffalo
Our Desert Heat sauna is a full-spectrum infrared sauna. It warms your body with near, mid, and far infrared at a lower air temperature than a traditional sauna, and a session is 25 minutes.
Many guests report it helps them relax and unwind, and some people find the warmth may help tight muscles feel looser.
What is a visit like?
- You change, grab a robe, and settle into the sauna. Sit and breathe; you will start to sweat as you warm up.
- There are several session settings to choose from, including a relaxation setting. Staff can help you pick one.
- Drink water before and after. Step out any time you feel too hot, dizzy, or unwell.
How long does it take?
25 minutes per session.
How much does it cost?
This is one of our core services. It is part of the Day Pass ($67): one visit with cold air, heat, light, and compression, about an hour. Visitors staying longer can choose the Week Pass ($99) or Month Pass ($200). Locals can choose Monthly All Access ($175 a month) or Longevity Paid in Full ($1,750 a year).

- Conditions that make you sensitive to heat, such as multiple sclerosis

Questions guests ask
How long should I stay in the infrared sauna?
A session here is 25 minutes. If you are new to heat, it is fine to step out early. Listen to your body.
What is the difference between infrared and a traditional sauna?
A traditional sauna heats the air around you. An infrared sauna warms your body more directly, so the air temperature is lower, which many people find more comfortable.
What should I bring?
Bring water. Robes are available at the studio so you can move between services easily.
Can I do the sauna and cryotherapy on the same visit?
Yes. Many guests pair heat with cold air, red light, and compression in a visit of about an hour. Dry off completely before cryotherapy.

- Whole Body Cryotherapy
