Twelve venues across Perth, most of them within sight of water — Scarborough Beach, City Beach, Cottesloe, Port Beach and Point Walter among them, alongside indoor rooms in West Leederville, East Perth, Burswood, Nedlands and Karrinyup shopping centre. Sessions run a flat sixty minutes on the hour and are communal rather than private, with venue capacities between seven and twenty. Cold water varies by site: ice pools, ice baths, ice showers, a magnesium pool, and at the beach venues the ocean itself. Booking is through the studio's own app.

Contrast therapy in Perth — listings
Float tanks on Edward Street, backed by infrared sauna, red-light and contrast therapy. An hour in the dark and the salt is the quietest sixty minutes available in the inner city, and the intro three-pack brings a float under sixty dollars while you decide whether it's your thing.
Ice baths, traditional and infrared saunas and contrast sessions in private one-hour bookings for singles or pairs. Prices are stated plainly: $45 a session, $80 for two, a five-pack at $200, or a $50 weekly membership covering up to three visits. Group sessions run too.
Perth's first fully dedicated recovery centre: cold plunge pools alongside a magnesium-enriched hot plunge for contrast work, a Finnish sauna, steam room, red light therapy, compression boots and IV drips. Memberships run in two tiers with casual dips available, and professional teams train through here.
One of Perth's most fully-equipped recovery centres, open 6am to 10pm on weekdays: cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, infrared sauna, contrast therapy, an LED light bed, compression, dry flotation, IV therapy and more, with a booking app and group and corporate sessions.
A Scarborough studio pairing small-group reformer Pilates — six reformers, never more — with a proper recovery wing: full-spectrum infrared sauna, commercial ice baths and structured contrast therapy. A $59 two-week unlimited intro pass covers the Pilates side.
A sauna and ice bath on Worthington Road, booked for exclusive use — you get the facility to yourself for the session rather than sharing it. Hot and cold are taken in contrast or on their own, and groups can book together. Open from 7am on weekdays, earlier finish on Fridays, and closed Sundays.
Full-spectrum infrared sauna, an Odin ice bath running Nordic-cycle contrast sessions, IV vitamin infusions and quiet private recovery rooms, operated by licensed health professionals for Perth's northern corridor. Staffed Tuesday, Thursday to Sunday 9.30am–2.30pm, with out-of-hours bookings by arrangement.
Contrast therapy in a suburban Beldon setup: an infrared sauna and an ice bath, taken singly or alternated. Sessions are appointment-only and the space runs long hours — from 5am to 9pm — which makes it one of the few places in the northern suburbs you can do this before work. Thirty minutes in the sauna starts at $25, and the room can be booked for a group or hired outright.

How spa & recovery is taught in Perth
Recovery rooms sell time rather than treatments, and the price on the board is usually for the slot, not the thing you do in it.
The sessions differ more than the marketing suggests. A sauna is a long warm sit you can talk through; an ice bath is two or three minutes and you will not want to talk. Contrast therapy alternates the two and takes about an hour with the changing. Float tanks are an hour on your own in dark salt water, which some people find restful and others find far too quiet. Infrared saunas run cooler than traditional ones and feel less punishing, and sound baths belong here too — you lie down, someone plays bowls and gongs, and nothing is required of you.
On practicalities: most studios sell memberships that only make sense if you go weekly, and casual rates are the honest way to find out whether you will. Bring or hire a towel, allow twenty minutes on top of the session for changing and showering, and book contrast in the middle of the day if you would rather not drive home cold.

Featured in Spa & Recovery — paid placement
Whole-body cryotherapy in a state-of-the-art electric chamber — three minutes at minus ninety-five degrees — plus O2 AirPod oxygen therapy and infrared sauna in Currambine. Packages pair cryotherapy and sauna visits, with guest passes included in the larger bundles.
Sound baths in the hills above Armadale — fortnightly Sunday sonic immersions plus sunset, full-moon and cacao-ceremony sessions, with mats, bolsters and blankets provided. The bush setting is half the experience, and a three-event pass suits people who want it as a regular reset rather than a one-off.
One of Perth's longest-standing yoga studios, running morning vinyasa, hatha, beginners, therapy yoga, restorative yin and mum-and-bubs classes from Petra Street. Occasional sound bath evenings round out a timetable built for regulars rather than drop-in tourists.
