Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will anyone see me naked? (Popular Question)
No — nobody will ever see you naked. We have created this space with deep respect for privacy and boundaries. If you ever need a moment to undress or move freely, simply use the code word “toilet.” Everyone, including our team, will respectfully turn away. Nobody here wants or needs to see you naked — your comfort and sense of safety always come first.
How long is each bathing session?
The length of each bath depends on the package you choose. Some programs include two daily sessions — one in the morning and one in the evening — each lasting 60 to 120 minutes. Other, more intensive options invite you to stay in the water for six or even twelve hours in total, allowing a deep, continuous cleansing and regeneration process. Every option is designed to support your rhythm, your goals, and your body’s natural pace of detox and relaxation.
Can I bathe during my period?
Yes — absolutely. In fact, alkaline bathing can gently support your body’s natural detox and acid release that happens during your menstrual cycle. Many women experience the baths as balancing and relieving during this time. You are always welcome — your body knows what it needs.
Can I adjust the water ph / temperature myself?
Yes, you can comfortably adjust water temperature and alkalinity as desired.
What should I bring with me?
Only personal items like comfortable clothing, two big towels, and an open mind—we take care of the rest!
Your phone will be turened off during the day.
Are meals/drinks included?
Yes — everything is included. You’ll enjoy freshly pressed juices and lovingly prepared alkaline meals, served right by the pool so you can nourish yourself while staying in the water. This way, you make the most of your bathing time and keep your detox process flowing naturally.

How Alkaline Bathing Works – Your Experience with Us
At our sanctuary on Koh Phangan, alkaline bathing is a guided, holistic experience designed to facilitate deep cellular detoxification, regeneration, and overall rejuvenation. Please note, while we offer supportive guidance and a nurturing environment, we make no medical claims or promises of healing.
Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Practice
Inspired by historical figures such as John the Baptist, who utilized long alkaline baths for profound physical and emotional renewal, our practice revives and refines this ancient tradition. Our professional team ensures each bath session is held in a sacred, respectful, and safe environment.
The Importance of Detoxification: Understanding Acidosis
Our approach highlights that many health concerns arise from acidosis—an imbalance in the body’s natural acid-base regulation. Stress, negative thoughts, diet, and lack of movement contribute significantly to this acidic buildup, often causing fatigue, pain, and inflammation. Our alkaline baths help neutralize and eliminate these accumulated acids through your skin gently and naturally.
Your Guided Bathing Experience
Preparation and Welcome: Your experience begins with an energetic cleansing ritual using sage, creating a serene and comfortable atmosphere.
Immersion in Alkaline Waters: You’ll enter pools maintained at a gentle alkaline pH (approximately 9.5 – you decide yourself) and a temperature slightly below body temperature, optimized for effective detoxification.
Gradual, Effective Detox: Over your extended bathing session (up to 12 hours), your body gradually releases stored acids—initially through the skin, then from deeper tissues and bones. Repeated baths enhance these detoxifying effects progressively.
Compassionate Support: Emotional or physical releases can arise. Our experienced team is always available to provide emotional support and guidance during your experience.
Special Attention for Women’s Health
Our baths offer women targeted support during menopause and other life transitions when the body’s natural detoxification capacities diminish. Regular alkaline baths, complemented by additional wellness practices like sauna sessions, help manage discomfort, fluid retention, and overall wellness.
Supporting Pregnancy through Alkaline Bathing
We provide gentle bathing sessions specifically to the needs of pregnant women (or you can actually do them at home yourself). Regular alkaline baths help reduce stress-induced acidity, support overall health, and gently ease common pregnancy-related discomforts.

Our guests have experienced remarkable improvements—from accelerated recovery after injuries to substantial relief from chronic ailments such as arthritis.
