“I started with a few drop-in sessions and was surprised by how peaceful and grounding the sauna felt. It quickly became something I looked forward to each week, so I upgraded to a monthly membership. The community has been such a bonus. It’s been a positive, fun, and focused journey on health. It’s become my favorite way to reset.”

sauna, Cold Plunge & Contrast Therapy in portland

Ebb & Ember is proud to be Portland's first floating sauna.

Opened in 2026 and docked at Elevated Tides Marina on the Columbia River, we offer traditional sauna heat with a few cold contrast therapy opportunities: whether it’s a river cold plunge, our Downpour bucket shower, or a cold shower on deck, the goal is an invigorating reset you won't find anywhere else in the city. Our new landing on the dock is made for lounging between rounds, built to connect you to the riverfront and to the community of people sharing it with you.
