First Time in a Sauna? Everything You Need to Know

⏱️ Reading time: 2–3 minutes

Trying a sauna for the first time? Don't worry—it's much simpler than you might think.

Whether you're looking to relax, unwind after a day of exploring Rarotonga or simply try something new, a sauna session is all about listening to your body and enjoying the experience.

How Long Should You Stay?

If it's your first visit, aim for around 10–15 minutes in the sauna. You can always step outside to cool down before returning for another round if you feel comfortable.

There's no pressure to stay for a specific amount of time—everyone is different.

What Should You Bring?

Bring your swimwear, a towel and a bottle of water to stay hydrated. Everything else is provided, so you can simply relax and enjoy your session.

Should You Try the Cold Plunge?

Many guests like to finish their sauna with a refreshing cold plunge, but it's completely optional. If you decide to give it a try, enter the water slowly and focus on your breathing.

Even a short dip can be enough to experience the contrast between hot and cold.

Relax and Enjoy

At REguvenate, every sauna session is private, so there's no need to feel rushed or self-conscious. Take your time, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and experience the session at your own pace.

Whether you spend most of your time in the warmth of the sauna or decide to challenge yourself with a cold plunge, the goal is simple: leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.
