Hydrotherapy Elements

Take a moment, look around, immerse yourself. Alyeska Nordic Spa is designed to evoke peace and rejuvenation, from the setting to the elements.

Hot. Cold. Rest. Repeat

Hydrotherapy Circuit

On each visit to the spa, our advice would be to follow the hydrotherapy circuit for three to four times, using a combination of the hot and cold pools to truly experience the full benefits of hydrotherapy. Hot, cold, rest, repeat is our mantra, borne of the ancient Nordic wisdom behind the invigorating wellness benefits.

Hot

15-20 min

The initial hot stage reduces blood pressure while stimulating blood flow to the skin and muscles. Experience this in our hot pools, steam rooms and sauna facilities.

Hot Pools

The hot pools are the place to raise your body temperature and heart beat a notch. Relax as the steam surrounds you and retreat into the hot component of your hydrotherapy circuit.

Wooden Tubs

Heat up your hydrotherapy session in a more private setting in our wooden tubs. A direct throwback to Nordic tradition, you will be immersed in nature in ultimate serenity.

Forest Sauna

Follow the path through the dense Alaskan wilderness towards our forest sauna. Never has sweating out the toxins had such an inspirational setting.

Barrel Sauna

Discover our cozy barrel sauna along the forest loop, where cedar-scented dry heat creates the perfect space for a grounding sweat.

Halotherapy Signature Sauna

Bask in the warmth of our Halotherapy Signature Sauna and soak in the benefits of the Himalayan salt wall.

Cabin Sauna

When you're fully immersed in the wellness cycle, there’s no room for distractions. Just peace, quiet, and the intense dry heat of our traditional sauna.

Rainforest Steam Rooms

Breathe in the essential oil infused steam of our spacious steam cabin. For a invigorating refresh, you will also find a cold plunge bucket to douse your body.

Cold

As long as you can last

The cold stage stimulates blood pressure, forcing the production of more white blood cells– your body’s natural healing agent. Flushed of toxins, your muscles relax and you feel rejuvenated.

Small Cold Plunge

The cold yin to the hot yang of the warmer pools, steam and sauna cabins: this is not something you will want to miss. Brave it, count to ten, breathe deeply and feel the all-body tingling sensation and clarity of mind.

Large Cold Plunge

The cold yin to the hot yang of the warmer pools, steam, and sauna cabins: this is not something you will want to miss. Stand beneath the invigorating cascade of the waterfall, or simply immerse yourself. Brave it, count to ten, breathe deeply, and feel the all-body tingling sensation and clarity of mind.

Rest

Enjoy as you see fit

After each hot and cold cycle we invite you to rest and relax, allowing your body to stabilize.

REPAIR BODY + MIND

Hydrotherapy Benefits

Heat therapy promotes blood flow, allowing oxidation of muscles and improved healing time.

The cold stage of the hydrotherapy cycle eliminates toxins by promoting the increased production of white blood cells, your body’s natural healing agent.

Heath therapy reduces muscle soreness by increasing oxygen transport during hydro immersion.

Dating back as far as 4500BC and later promoted by Roman physicians, the hydrotherapy cycle has long been noted for its calming, stress reduction benefits.

As the health of your circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems improves, your ability to rest and achieve more peaceful sleep improves.

The improvement of blood flow promotes the release of endorphins, your body’s happiness hormones. You leave the Nordic spa feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and happier!

The cold cycle helps reduce inflammation of the muscles, while the hot cycle combined with water pressure, eases inflammation of the joints.

When the cold cycle activates increased production of white blood cells, your immune system improves. White blood cells help your body fight infections and other diseases.
