Heat. Ice. Repeat. Fire & Ice is the hot-cold ritual that athletes, sea swimmers and Wim Hof fans swear by, and at PURE you do it in your own private wellness room at Union Square in Aberdeen or Lothian Road in Edinburgh.

Step out of a glowing infrared sauna. Lower yourself into a plunge as cold as 3°C. Feel every nerve wake up, then sink back into the warmth. You walk out buzzing, clear-headed and lighter than you walked in.

Start with a 10-minute Cold Water Therapy session for £15, or go all in with a full hour of Fire & Ice Contrast Therapy for £40.

What a cold plunge feels like

You lower yourself in up to your shoulders. The cold hits. You gasp, your breath quickens, and then, within a minute, it settles. Breathe out slowly and something shifts. Your head clears. Your skin tingles. You feel completely, sharply awake.

Stay in for one minute or build up to ten. You choose. Then climb out into the warm glow that follows, the part everyone comes back for.

Where to go and prices

Treatments of 60 minutes or longer include 60 minutes of spa and wellness facilities. Facilities vary by spa, so visit our spa page for details. Both spas open seven days a week and late.
