Refuge provides the ultimate relaxation experience through the use of our Refuge Thermal Cycle: heat up, cool down, relax and explore. The serene and silent 2-acre property features a Himalayan salt wall cedar sauna, two eucalyptus steam rooms, Nordic cold plunge pools, hot pools with cascading thermal waterfalls, and breathtaking views of the Santa Lucia Mountains.
Repeated use of the Refuge Thermal Cycle soothes aches and pains, increases metabolism, and boosts the immune system. The Refuge Experience is to be enjoyed in silence.
