The best break of your day

Absolutely. RECESS is designed for solo visitors and groups alike. Many people come alone for recovery, personal reflection, and find an inspiring anchor in the shared space.

Contrast therapy is generally safe for healthy adults. However, if you are pregnant or have medical/cardiac conditions, consult your healthcare professional before participating.

Access to RECESS is permitted from age 16 when accompanied by an adult. Visitors aged 18 and over may come on their own.

RECESS is a social thermal station, designed as an active experience rather than a passive place to unwind. Heat, cold, and rest follow a structured circuit meant to stimulate the body and settle the mind. The experience is shaped by atmosphere, breath, and connection with yourself and others. More than a spa, RECESS is a modern ritual rooted in the science of thermal contrast.

Both options are available. You can book a guided session or explore the thermal circuit at your own pace with a freeflow session.

75 minutes.

There is no completely silent zone at RECESS.

That said, some sessions are designed to offer a calmer, more introspective atmosphere. The Calm Freeflow, for example, is ideal if you are looking for more silence and space to settle. Relax sessions are also quieter, without being completely silent.

RECESS remains a social, lively and connected space. Most of our sessions invite exchange and conversation, always with respect for the energy of the moment.

It depends on the experience you want to have.

Freeflow — Perfect for a gentle first discovery. You explore the circuit at your own pace, independently, getting acquainted with thermotherapy according to your energy. A guide will still be on-site to support you as needed.

Relax — A guided, enveloping and accessible session. Ideal if you want to be supported without it being too intense.

Recharge — A more dynamic and energising guided experience. We raise the pace, play with contrasts and come out revitalised.

Physical Recovery — Designed for athletes and active bodies. A guided session focused on muscle recovery and regeneration.

Whatever you choose, our team is always there to guide you and answer your questions.

• Always sit on a towel in the sauna (from buttocks to feet).
• Always rinse off before entering the ice bath.
• Respectful conversation is encouraged in the sauna, rest area and changing rooms. Note that this is a flirt-free space.
• Changing must be done in privacy. Full nudity is not permitted.

In a guided session, simply follow your guide. Breathe, listen to your body and be present.

In Freeflow, here is what we recommend:

1. Start with 15 to 20 minutes in the sauna to wake up the body and calm the mind.
2. Rinse off in the shower (required).
3. Follow with an ice bath (30 seconds is enough, or 1 to 3 minutes depending on your comfort) to activate your system.

4. Finish with 10 to 15 minutes in the rest area. Let your body warm up naturally while you relax and reconnect.

5. Repeat as needed while staying attuned to your body.

A large sauna (~50 seats), a cold plunge area, spacious showers, a relaxation lounge, a filtered tea and water station, and a mixed changing room with secure lockers and private changing cabins.
