Its experiences include a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber, tepidarium, salt room, cold plunge bath and cedar sauna offering spectacular views across the ranch.

“It’s rooted in nature and is inherently social in its sensibility: encouraging meaningful connections, relaxation, recovery, within the context of pleasure and celebration,” she added.
