Baask is a private sauna and ice bath house in Waihī Beach, created by sisters Claudia and Samantha. Four private rooms offer a choice between traditional and infrared sauna, paired with a cold plunge to finish, in a considered space designed for total, unhurried escape.

Step into the dry, enveloping heat of the traditional sauna to support circulation, ease muscle tension, and slow the mind down, or settle into the gentler, deeper warmth of infrared for recovery and restorative sleep. Finish with the ice bath for an invigorating contrast that restores energy after time in the heat. Every room comes stocked with chilled filtered water, plush towels, and premium shower amenities, plus a house-made salt scrub and a complimentary tea to linger over once you’re done. Top up your visit with a wellness shot, electrolyte sachet, or magnesium blend for a little extra.

Quiet mornings, catch-ups with a friend, post-work resets – however you like to unwind. Sandy feet always welcome. This is where you slow down and leave a little lighter.
