IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
The Salt Pool is exactly that: a small, warm pool run on a saltwater system instead of traditional chlorine. The scale is small enough to hold a conversation with whoever else is in the water.
Like the Lounge, the room is an integrated audiovisual environment. Lighting, projection, and sound shift across the course of a day. The water is the constant; the room around it isn’t.
It’s the warm counterpart to the cold plunge, and a different mode of gathering than the Lounge — conversation in water, with the environment doing its work around you.
What the Salt Pool is built around, in plain terms.
This service may be a fit, if you’re looking for:
This isn’t a spa pool, a lap pool, or a hot tub. It isn’t a float tank — meaning it isn’t built for sensory deprivation, and the social design is the point, not an accident. It isn’t medicalized, and it isn’t making claims about what the salt water does for your skin, your magnesium levels, or anything else. It’s a small warm pool, designed thoughtfully, in a space designed thoughtfully around it.
The pool is kept at a warm but not hot temperature — typically 92-98°F, warmer than a swimming pool, cooler than a hot tub. We use salt-based sanitation rather than chlorine, which is gentler on skin, less aggressive on eyes, and produces a softer feel in the water. It still requires careful filtration and treatment; “salt water” doesn’t mean “untreated.”
Scale and intent. Most hot tubs and spa pools are either too hot to stay in for long or designed for recovery between activities. The Salt Pool is sized smaller, kept cooler, and built around the assumption that you’ll be in it long enough to actually have a conversation. The water is also salt-based rather than chemically heavy, which makes longer stays more comfortable.
Yes. Some people use the salt pool as part of a contrast cycle — though the warm-pool/cold-plunge contrast is gentler than sauna/cold-plunge because the temperature differential is smaller. Others use it as a wind-down after sauna and cold, or as the primary space for the visit. There’s no required sequence.
Day passes are available for guests, and most members can bring guests during regular hours subject to capacity. Specifics depend on your membership level — the membership page covers the details.
Bring a swimsuit and a towel. Showers are required before entering. Hydrate before and after — warm-water immersion is more dehydrating than people often realize. Most people benefit from clearing some time afterward rather than going straight into something demanding.
