Contrast therapy, head-to-toe massage and neuroaesthetic interior design form the cornerstones of Hideaway’s holistic ethos. The Singapore-based spa opened up a new bathhouse space late last year (2024) containing infrared saunas by Clearlight and custom-built cold plunge tubs.
While the infrared technology penetrates deeper than conventional saunas to promote cellular repair and detoxification, the cold plunges (which can be set to a brave 4°C, moderate 8°C, or gentler 10°C) offer their own science-backed benefits, from reducing inflammation to boosting immunity. When used in conjunction, the shifts in temperature are said to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, said to improve sleep and reduce anxiety.
