While there’s no formal ice bath, many visitors alternate between the hot spring and shaded rest areas to simulate contrast therapy.
It’s open daily from 7am to 7pm, and best visited early morning to avoid crowds. Come here if you’re curious about thermal therapy but not ready to commit to paid sessions just yet.
Yes, as long as sessions are guided and you follow recommended time limits. Start short and always listen to your body.
Most range between 3°C and 10°C, depending on the facility and session type.
Beginners usually start with 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Many sessions cap immersion at 3 to 5 minutes.
You could bring your own swimwear, towel, and toiletries. However, most of the bathhouses provide clothing, towels, and amenities.
People with heart conditions, circulation issues, or who are pregnant should consult a doctor before trying cold plunges.
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.
Whether you’re dipping a toe in for curiosity or going all-in for recovery gains, Singapore now has an ice bath option for every comfort level and budget. Just remember, the first step into cold water is always the hardest.
