Oria Best ofBest for recoveryReclab
Wembley · Spa & Recovery
Built for hot-and-cold rather than heat alone: a Finnish sauna and steam room next to cold plunge pools and a magnesium hot plunge, so a contrast circuit is the default here. Casual dips are available as well as memberships, and red light and compression boots are on the menu for afterwards.

What we considered
We considered the type of sauna, whether sessions are private or shared, session length, whether an ice bath or cold plunge is available, showers and towels, price, and how clearly the venue publishes its hours and booking.

Make time for a sauna
Find a session that fits your budget and the time you have.
Pick by your situation
- Choose Ember Bath House if you want the full circuit of sauna, steam, hot bath and ice bath.
- Choose Reclab if hot-and-cold contrast is the point.
- Choose Melt Sauna & Cold Plunge if you want the cheapest session, especially early morning.
- Choose Bodyscape Yoga & Wellness Spa if you'd rather an infrared room than a Finnish one.
Before you go
A traditional sauna heats the air, usually to 70–90°C. An infrared sauna heats you directly at a lower air temperature, around 45–60°C, so it feels gentler for the same session length.
Most Perth venues book sessions of 30 to 60 minutes. Contrast sessions alternate a few minutes of cold with time in the heat.
Nearly always, and private rooms especially. Each listing links to the venue’s own booking page.
