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 Newington: 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 Newington is straightforward — 35 miles away, 43-minute drive south via Route 9 and I-91. Route 9 south to I-91 and I-95 is usually fastest; package appointments make one shoreline drive cover the whole day. Guests travel in from Newington Center, Elm Hill, and the Berlin Turnpike corridor, and if you know Mill Pond Park, the Lucy Robbins Welles Library, and Newington Junction 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.
