Partial disclaimer to start: I went to Kos for the first time in May. Which may change some of the aspect of this experience versus the winter cold plunge season.
I have long thought of coming here but I have a community pass during the colder months at a place in Massachusetts that I go to so reached this during my tour of other plunge sauna locations after my usual closes down.
The water temp was currently in the 60's so not a full cold plunge.
It is convenient being only a half hour drive from where I live. The parking are is shared with the marina and Lago by Druthers which on a warm weekend day did make it hard to find parking as the lot was almost full when I arrived in the afternoon.
The sauna boat space is beautifully and thoughtfully designed for the space considerations with a reception area that doubles as storage for session participants, a roof top deck, small changing area, sauna space and the back deck/cold plunge area.
The staff were very friendly and walked me through all I needed to know including the oil they use in the sauna to check for any sensitivity.
The sauna session was a great experience, the wood burning heater stayed pretty consistent in temperature across the space. The view and the gently rocking was soothing but this may change depending on weather and motor boat activity as the summer season progresses.
I found the water to be cool and refreshing and easy to tolerate at its warmer temperatures.
Given the time of year, there was alot of activity around boats, kayaks, paddle boards, and lagos outdoor seating area overlooks its current location. I did leave, hearing from the staff that for the summer they are planning on moving the sauna out to the end of the dock into deeper waters and giving some distance to the water entry points.
As an accessibility note, to get into the water you do have to use a ladder to get in and out of the water which I found the ladder to be a bit shorter in the water than I would like, maybe one more step rung would be enough to fix this. You do need upper and lower body strength to get yourself up on the ladder
I do plan to go back again and give this another try after they move out and probably in the colder season when the lake activity goes down a bit read more
