Frequently Asked Questions
Before visiting, we kindly ask that you read our house VALUES AND AGREEMENTS.
What are the expectations for mexico?
We want to provide our members and guests with a heads-up about occasional infrastructural challenges that might affect our amenities and business operations. In Mexico, it's not uncommon for unexpected power outages or water disruptions to occur, impacting facilities like our sauna and cold plunge. We want to assure all our valued members and guests that while we'll work tirelessly to resolve any issues promptly, some factors are beyond our control. We deeply appreciate your patience, understanding, and grace during these moments. Together, we can navigate through any challenges and continue to foster a vibrant and supportive community here at Alchemize House. Thank you!
What do I need to bring?
A towel (or towel rental is available upon arrival for $100 pesos.) Please try to help us reduce water waste and bring your own towel. It makes a big difference! ♻️🌏
Wear comfortable clothing, a bathing suit and water bottle (no glass please!). If you wish to co-work with us during our Day Pass hours, bring your laptop & headphones. Onsite we provide a yoga mat, drinkable water, and Wi-Fi.
What amenities do you offer?
We offer a large multi-person sauna + cold plunge, pool, community co-working and lounge spaces. We have non-gendered changing stalls and bathrooms available, as well as one outdoor shower.
How do I use the amenities?
Rotate between the hot + cold modalities, chill by the pool, or just relax in one of our lounge areas. If you are new to Alchemize House, try a guided class or workshop and allow our facilitators to guide you through the experience.
FOR BEGINNNERS:
Sauna for 5-15 minutes
Cold plunge for 1-5 minutes (max 11min)
Go back and forth between hot and cold for optimal benefits
*Please note there is no right or wrong way, just listen to your body, experiment and have fun! Start small, then increase!
Why do i have to check-in/sign up beforehand? (even as a member?)
Because of the high energy + expenses it costs to run the sauna and cold plunge, we don’t run them 24/7. When you check in before hand, it gives us time to turn on the amenities (so they can be ready to use when you arrive). It also helps us gather data about how many people are in our space, during what time of day. This data is very crucial for us to know our expenses! 📈 We appreciate you working with us to streamline this process. Remember you can bookmark the alchemizehouse.as.me on your phone or download the Acuity app (for easier access!) Thank you for your cooperation!

What is your sauna + ice bath etiquette?
Saunas are traditionally communal spaces for health and healing. We're here to connect beyond ourselves and to build community. Whether alone or with friends, our space aims to foster connections in a disconnected world.
While conversation is welcome, please be mindful and respectful of others' experiences. If someone is meditating, for example, kindly give them the space to go inward with respect and courtesy.
Our sauna is a space for individuals of all genders, welcoming men, women, and non-binary individuals. We emphasize the importance of creating a safe and inclusive environment. Please be appropriate in your interactions and refrain from any form of sexual harassment or making forward advancements. This space is meant to be a haven for everyone, where mutual respect is valued above all. Please fill out our Confidential Incident Report if any boundaries have been crossed.
Please store cell phones with your personal belongings in the cubbies by the front desk to respect others’ privacy. We recommend rinsing off in the shower before using the sauna. Please note that nudity is not permitted in the sauna.
