Booking & Sessions
What happens during a Revivo session?
Every session includes access to our traditional wood-fired sauna, refreshing cold plunges and time to relax and unwind. Our community sessions are designed to be a social, welcoming experience where you can move between the heat and cold at your own pace
Do I need to book in advance?
We always recommend booking in advance, especially for weekends, festivals and special events, as sessions regularly sell out.
If space is available, walk-ins may be accepted.
Can I book a private session?
Yes. We offer private sessions for groups, as well as private hire for events, retreats and special occasions.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Many of our guests visit on their own. Our community sessions are relaxed, friendly and welcoming whether you're coming solo or with friends.
