Far infrared light safely penetrates your tissues, joints, and muscles down to the cellular level. It helps remove heavy metals and other environmental toxins while increasing feel-good serotonin levels. Unlike regular saunas, far infrared saunas maintain a comfortable air temperature using radiant heat like the sun, but without any harmful ultraviolet rays. No more than 15-30 minutes at a time is needed.
The saunas are located in the men’s and women’s locker rooms. Use of the steam room and saunas is included with the booking of any treatment. Spa passes are available for those not having a treatment and are by appointment only. If you’re interested in reserving these amenities, please contact the spa for more information.
“It’s such an amazing and spiritual location–I came back feeling rejuvenated and recharged… It was so very special knowing the place belongs to the Dalai Lama! I loved our room. My favorite things were that there was no TV in the room, the beds were so comfortable, and it was so quiet and relaxing there with the windows opened. The grounds were amazing…”

“The experience I’ve had as a volunteer here at Menla has been a unique one. I had recently experienced the loss of a number of friends, and of my father, before coming up for a retreat, and then coming back as a volunteer. Not only was the work I did up in these gorgeous mountains an amazingly cathartic experience, but the support I received from the community that exists here was unlike anything I had previously experienced.”

“Menla is one of my favorite retreat centers in the world. The natural beauty, the wonderful staff and great accommodations always make the experience of leading a retreat effortless and graceful. The blessings of HH Dalai Lama and many other Great Beings who have been there usher us into our own True Nature with joy and ease.”
