Infrared saunas in Melbourne, Australia
Comma
Comma's Cremorne bath house is communal and unisex but deliberately tiny: only four people are welcomed into the space per session. The Like the Finns Do package moves between a magnesium hot tub, a traditional Finnish sauna and a cold pail shower, while The Way of Light adds exclusive access to an infrared sauna. Swimwear stays on throughout. Sessions run about $75 to $90, and treatments are offered alongside.
Gravity Float & Wellness
Gravity on High Street in Northcote calls itself Victoria's first and largest float centre, with over ten years behind it and more than 75,000 sessions logged. Alongside the float tanks it runs a private far-infrared sauna room held between 38°C and 58°C, and contrast therapy that alternates a traditional sauna with an ice bath in guided intervals. Massage, red light and PEMF therapy sit alongside, and it is a registered NDIS provider.
My Recovery Lounge
A private wellness studio on Bay Street in Port Melbourne running 60-minute sauna and ice bath sessions. The traditional sauna pours water over heated stones and runs between 70°C and 90°C, and two ice baths are kept at 2 to 3°C for the experienced and 8 to 12°C for beginners. An infrared sauna, an outdoor bamboo-framed shower, myotherapy and remedial massage sit alongside, and the saunas take groups of up to ten.
Nimbus Co Fitzroy North
Nimbus Co's Fitzroy North studio on Nicholson Street offers infrared and traditional sauna sessions with ice baths in private rooms, booked by the slot rather than as open bathhouse entry. It runs Monday to Friday from 9am to 9pm and 9am to 8pm at weekends, and sessions across the Melbourne studios cost roughly $55 to $79.
Soak Bathhouse South Yarra
Soak sits behind Chapel Street in the Alfasi development in South Yarra, designed by Carr Architects. Bathers move between two mineral pools at 34°C and 38°C, dry cedar saunas, a steam room scented with essential oils and a cold plunge held at 12.5°C, all set among leafy planting. It opens from 6:30am daily. Bathing packages start at $39.95, and a private infrared sauna for up to two people is $49.95.
Sona Rooms
A small recovery studio on the ground floor of a Clifton Street building in Prahran, Sona Rooms runs an infrared sauna alongside a contrast therapy room that combines a traditional sauna with a cold plunge. Red light therapy and an oxygen AirPod round out the menu. Casual infrared sessions start at $30 and contrast therapy from $36 on a weekday concession.
Sóma Bathhouse
Sóma in Essendon builds its visit around what it calls the holy trio of sauna, plunge and soak. The communal space holds a four-person infrared sauna, two cold plunges and a hot mineral spa set to 39°C, while the private rooms each have their own shower, a two-person sauna and a cold plunge. It is a bathers-on bathhouse, and the introductory offer at $95 covers one communal and one private session.
