Advanced multi-sensory wellness therapies in one dedicated space.

Your experience begins with a warm welcome from our Guest Services team, who will take you to each room and set you up with the services in each room. Some rooms require Guest Services to get you started; other rooms require some guidance on how to perform the services yourself.

From there, you can enjoy your wellness journey at your own pace, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience with minimal staff interaction.

Some wellness therapies like the Mental Fitness Loungers allow you to choose specific programs to target a specific desired therapeutic intention, from sleep improvement to deep relaxation, to focus or mental acuity.

Our new multi-sensory therapies empower you to personalize your own wellness journey, tailored to your mood, intention, and goals.

Yes, Resonance therapies can be booked as a la carte services or therapeutic circuits with or without Elmwood Spa services.

The cold plunge is set to +10C, and the Hydrotherapy Flotation cabin is set to just above skin temperature, at 35C.

We provide robe, towels, and flip flops included in the price of your service. Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hairdryers, and curling irons are available in the change rooms on the 2nd floor. Please remember to bring your hairbrush, cosmetics, and any other personal toiletries you may need.

Once you change, you can proceed to Resonance on the Lower Level to experience our sensory wellness therapies.

If you are enjoying multiple treatments in Resonance (both wet and dry), you may want to bring a spare swimsuit or underwear to change into. Our current swimsuit guidelines do not permit wearing underwear (in the water features) for hygiene reasons.

If you have a treatment after flotation or contrast therapies, please bring a change of (under) clothing or swimwear, so that you can continue your experience dry.

• Hydrotherapy Flotation and Contrast Therapies:
  • Appropriate swimwear such as swim trunks, under clothing, swimsuit, or bikini.
• Biohacking Treatment [Advanced Treatment Bed with Full-Body Celluma Red Light Therapy]:
  • Appropriate swimwear such as swim trunks or bikini, or undergarments [bra, underwear] are strongly recommended. For best results from Red Light Therapy, minimal or two-piece swimwear is ideal, as the treatment is most effective when the skin is exposed to the light.
  • For your comfort and privacy, you will be required to remove your robe and settle under a sheet on the treatment bed before our Guest Services Representative returns to the room. When you’re ready, the Celluma LED blanket will be placed over your body while gently removing the sheet for the treatment.
  • During any traditional spa services like the Jade Stone Foot Massage with Biohacking Treatment, a sheet will be draped over your body as per a traditional massage or body treatment.

Please note: If you do not wish to get your hair wet, it is strongly recommended to bring a tight-fitting shower or swimming cap for Hydrotherapy Flotation due to the high saltwater concentration.

All guests must check in at reception on the main floor and will be guided to the 2nd floor change rooms, where they can shower and change into their robes.
