What infrared sauna at Branford River Spa actually involves
Full-spectrum infrared heats the body directly rather than roasting the air around it, so you reach a deep sweat at a far more tolerable cabin temperature than a traditional Finnish sauna. Near, mid, and far infrared each penetrate to different depths, covering skin, circulation, and deeper muscle tissue in a single session.
Our cabin also runs halotherapy — pharmaceutical-grade dry salt aerosol dispersed into the air while you sit. It is the same principle as a salt cave, layered onto the sauna session at no extra charge.
Booking from Groton: what to expect
A private cabin to yourself, towels, water, and control of your own session. Thirty minutes is the standard slot; most guests come out flushed, loose, and noticeably calmer, then shower or head straight into a massage.
Getting here from Groton is straightforward — 48 miles away, 55-minute drive west on I-95. Service members book deep-tissue and compression recovery back to back so one westbound trip covers the whole reset. Guests travel in from Groton Long Point, Mystic, and Poquonnock Bridge, and if you know the Submarine Force Museum, Bluff Point State Park, and Avery Point you are only minutes from our door at 249 East Main Street.
Best for: Post-workout recovery, winter aches, congestion and sinus season, circulation, skin clarity, and anyone who wants heat therapy without the harshness of a traditional sauna.
