What’s new at Southport’s hottest (& coldest) bathhouse

Come for the health gains. Stay for the whole-body recharge; head to toe – inside to out. Seriously, you feel like a new human walking out of a session at Vikasati.

Can you tell we’ve been there a few times since they opened late last year?

Never been? No stress!

We’re here to give you the low-down on this health-focused bathhouse in Southport, get you up to date on what’s new and convince you why you needed to book your first session yesterday.

Sore from the gym? Feeling fatigued? Burnt out from work? Stressed, because-well-life? That’s okay!

After all, you’re only $46 away from sweet salvation: a 90-minute Sanctuary Session at Vikasati. It’s the ultimate ‘Do-Not-Disturb’ mode, where you soak, plunge and sweat till you’re fresh out of care, baby. You’ll have also strengthened your immune system, accelerated your recovery and reduced inflammation. Whoever said multi-tasking isn’t a thing hasn’t been to Vikasati. POV: you’re about to hit unwind hard.

Step inside this bathhouse which is naturally basking in natural sunlight and built in the open air.

The healing has already begun, and we haven’t even gotten started. The energy is always on point in this place – filled with folks feeling euphoric post-ice plunge and totally zen after a soak in the hot magnesium pool.

It’s a ‘create-your-own-adventure’, so whether you’re there to get down to business (full recovery mode) or for a chilled soak with friends post-work, they’ve got you.

You’ll find luxury recovery facilities, including an ice bath (5°), a hot magnesium pool (37°), a cold magnesium pool (14°) and the Gold Coast’s largest traditional sauna (subtle flex). Enclosed by a warm-toned stone wall, the space feels like a private quiet oasis within the city.

Looking for a new style of happy hour? Get around Vikasati’s all-new Sauna Social nights!

Here to please the health-conscious community, Sauna Social offers a chance to get the gang together, meet like-minded people, and enjoy an immersive evening of sauna, ice, live music and guided experiences.

It’s all the Friday night fun without the Saturday hangover! Gotta love that!

Keen for a more targeted recovery session? Say less! Vikasati has a recovery strategy (find it in print on the bathhouse wall) for whether you want to recover, detox, relax or get energised.

If you’ve just hit the gym hard, their recovery protocol is for you. Looking for a full-body detox? Cycle between the sauna and hot pool for 2-4 cycles. And to leave the place more energised than the battery bunny himself, finish on either the cold pool or ice bath.

Vikasati is the ultimate destination for recovery and relaxation. It’s firmly secured on our dopamine menu, that’s for sure. Keen to add Vikasati to your weekly wellness routine? Join the club! The Vikasati Club, that is. For just $29 a week, it’s a no-brainer.
