2. Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort
Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort just completed their brand new barrel sauna! Build up a great sweat while enjoying wintery views over the Atlantic ocean. In addition to their barrel sauna, Cabot Shores has an infrared sauna available for guests for just $35.00 a session (30 minutes). This infrared treatment helps filter out UV radiation and provides you with infrared heating, which raises your metabolism, causing you to sweat and release toxins, as well as muscle tension. You can book a session or two as an add-on package to your stay, or if you happen to be in the area, you can book one to treat yourself.
