Immerse. Plunge. Restore.
Shelter is a floating wellness sanctuary, offering a dry sauna experience that floats on Okanagan Lake in Penticton, BC. It combines the calming experience of traditional sauna heat with the natural beauty of the surrounding water and mountain views, providing a unique way to relax, rejuvenate, and connect with nature.
Shelter is a place to gather, slow down, and find peace in the elements through the rhythm of heat, cold, and stillness..
Stillness by design
Our floating sauna offers panoramic views of Okanagan Lake and a serene atmosphere designed to inspire deep relaxation and mindfulness. Cycle between the warmth of the sauna, the invigorating chill of a cold plunge in the lake, and a moment of stillness in our restorative rest area, allowing your body to reset and your mind to settle.
Step 1: Heat
Settle into the warmth of red cedar walls and feel tension melt away. Stay for 10–15 minutes or until you feel deeply heated.
Step 2: Cold
Take a refreshing plunge in Okanagan Lake to stimulate circulation and boost endorphins. Stay submerged for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on your comfort.
Step 3: Rest
Float, breathe, and reset in stillness. Take a few minutes to rest and enjoy the stillness before beginning the cycle again.
Step 4: Repeat
Repeat for deeper calm, focus, and rejuvenation. The more you flow through the cycle, the more you’ll feel the transformation.
