Russian & Turkish Baths — Miami Beach

About

Russian & Turkish Baths has run its Miami Beach bathhouse in the lower lobby of the Castle Beach Club since 1994. The Russian room is heated by a rock-walled furnace, with buckets of ice water outside. There is also a Finnish sauna, a Turkish hammam, an ocean-water jacuzzi, a pool and the beach.

Good to know

• Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
• Hot tub on site: adds a warm-water option between the sauna and the cold plunge for a longer cycle.
• Pool on site: works alongside the sauna for swim-and-sauna sessions or a longer cool-down between rounds.
• Gym facilities on site: the sauna is part of a wider fitness or recovery offer rather than a standalone bathhouse.
• Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
• Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
• Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
• Restaurant on site, so long sessions are the design. Food is part of the visit rather than a stop on the way home.
• Bar on premises: drinks alongside (or after) the session, and the venue isn't dry like most outdoor sauna setups.
• Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
