Uppliva Sauna & Steam

Uppliva Sauna & Steam offers a Nordic-style spa experience in Hintonburg, featuring an authentic Hot-Cold-Rest sauna circuit. This circuit includes access to a cedar sauna with löyly, a eucalyptus steam room, a cold plunge pool, refreshing rain showers, and a modern relaxation space. Guests can choose from 2.5-hour and 1-hour visits, and complement their experience with massage, facial, or body treatments. Reviewers praise the spa's cleanliness, friendly staff, and relaxing atmosphere. While some find the prices a bit steep, many appreciate the spa's unique charm. However, the space is not fully accessible, with steps to enter and down to the plunge pool. The cold plunge is described as a cool chlorinated whirlpool. Parking can be an issue, with street parking limitations. Some guests found the staff slightly awkward and the relaxation area could use improvements with more comfortable lounge chairs and a warmer temperature. The reuse of blankets and the frigid stairwell were also noted. With some tweaks, Uppliva has potential to feel more luxurious and worth the price.
