Hosted by

Tideline Recovery House

A small, purpose-built recovery space a short walk from Ahangama's surf breaks — a chilled plunge pool, a wood-fired sauna, and guided breathwork between rounds. Built for surfers and anyone training hard who wants a structured contrast-therapy session rather than a spa treatment.

Frequently asked questions

1Is this safe if I've never done cold exposure before?+

Yes — every round is guided, and the coach checks in with beginners specifically. Let them know it's your first time.

2Are there health restrictions?+

Yes — this isn't recommended if you have a heart condition, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or are pregnant. Check with Tideline before booking if unsure.

3How cold is the plunge?+

Electronically chilled to a consistent temperature year-round — the exact number varies, but it's genuinely cold, not just cool water.
