Hot & Cold Plunge Pools

A powerful reset for body and mind

At Fleurieu Wellness, our hot magnesium soak and ice plunge pools offer a powerful way to restore balance, build resilience, and awaken your body’s natural healing systems. Through contrast therapy (alternating between warm and cold immersion) your body experiences a therapeutic reset that enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and deeply relaxes both body and mind.

Why choose plunge pools at Fleurieu Wellness?

This isn’t just a dip. It’s a ritual for renewal. Our pools are designed as part of a holistic healing environment, combining the grounding energy of magnesium-rich warmth with the invigorating clarity of cold immersion. Together, they help you move stagnant energy, release stress, and revitalise your system from the inside out.

Unlike home ice baths or gym recovery tubs, this experience is fully supported in a tranquil wellness setting. You’ll have time to unwind, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your body free from distraction.

Benefits you can expect:

• Boosted circulation and lymphatic flow: supporting detoxification and faster recovery
• Reduced inflammation and muscle tension: easing pain, stiffness, and soreness
• Improved mood and mental clarity: thanks to the natural endorphin rush from cold immersion
• Stronger immunity and stress resilience: by gently training your nervous system to adapt and stay calm under pressure
• Deep relaxation and better sleep: from the soothing warmth of soaking in magnesium rich water

What to expect

You’ll begin with a hot magnesium soak to warm and relax your muscles, calm your mind, and open your circulation. From there, you’ll transition into the ice plunge pool, where the cool water awakens your senses and activates your body’s repair systems.

You’re guided to move between the pools at your own pace, tuning in to what your body needs. Many guests describe it as meditative, a blend of challenge and surrender that leaves them feeling clear and deeply rebalanced.

Sessions typically last around 30 minutes. We provide everything you need towels, water, shower facilities, and a calm, supportive environment.

Pair with other therapies

For even greater results, combine your plunge experience with other detox and recovery therapies:

• Infrared Sauna: Warm your body deeply before your plunge to amplify circulation and muscle recovery.
• PEMF Therapy: Support your cells’ natural energy and reduce inflammation post-contrast therapy.
• Brainwave Entrainment: Drop into deep relaxation and integrate your body’s healing response.
