Hailing from Sydney, Capybara Bathing at Tras Street is the Australian brand’s first international outpost, having set up just in March 2026. Inspired by the onsen-loving capybara, it leans into slow, communal soaking rather than the quick-dip approach most other spots on this list go for.

A 90-minute session cycles you through a full hot-cold circuit: a Turkish hammam-inspired steam room (45-50°C), a cedar-lined hot stone sauna cranked up to 90-95°C, a cold plunge (6-10°C), and a mineral thermal bath (38-40°C) to warm back up. It’s phone-free past the changing rooms too, so consider this your excuse for a proper digital detox, solo, or with a friend to rotate hot-cold rounds with.

---

Are ice baths safe for beginners?

---

Yes, as long as sessions are guided and you follow recommended time limits. Start short and always listen to your body.

---

How cold are the ice baths usually?

---

Most range between 3°C and 10°C, depending on the facility and session type.

---

How long should I stay in an ice bath?

---

Beginners usually start with 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Many sessions cap immersion at 3 to 5 minutes.

---

What should I bring to an ice bath session?

---

You could bring your own swimwear, towel, and toiletries. However, most of the bathhouses provide clothing, towels, and amenities.

---

Who should avoid ice baths?

---

People with heart conditions, circulation issues, or who are pregnant should consult a doctor before trying cold plunges.

---

Cold plunge vs ice bath – what’s the difference?

---

Cold plunges and ice baths are both cold water immersion (CWI) therapies, but ice baths are generally colder and more intense, using added ice for extreme temperatures of around 3°C-6°C. Cold plunges use dedicated tubs with built-in chillers to maintain milder, more controlled temperatures of 5°C-15°C for longer durations, making plunges more convenient and accessible for consistent wellness. Ice baths are generally more for intense, brief recovery.

---

What is contrast therapy?

---

Contrast therapy is the practice of alternating between hot and cold exposure to trigger rapid changes in blood flow through the body, and it’s usually done by moving between a sauna or hot bath and an ice bath or cold plunge. The heat causes blood vessels to dilate, pulling blood toward the skin’s surface, while the cold that follows causes them to constrict sharply, pushing blood back toward the body’s core.

This repeated “pumping” action is thought to flush metabolic waste out of muscle tissue faster than heat or cold alone, which is why it’s popular among athletes for post-workout recovery. A typical session involves several rounds of a few minutes in heat followed by a shorter burst in cold, though exact timing and temperatures vary a lot by venue and individual tolerance.
