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 Higganum: 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 Higganum is straightforward — 25 miles away, 35-minute drive south via Route 81 and I-95. Route 81 south to I-95 is the calmest route; combine services in one visit to make the shoreline trip count. Guests travel in from Higganum Center, Candlewood Hill, and Hidden Lake, and if you know Higganum Green, Higganum Reservoir, and Seven Falls State Park 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.
