Sauna & Cold Plunge in Holland Village
Sochill Bath Club is a walk-in recovery club at Raffles Holland V Mall, #02-01 — opposite Holland Village MRT. Finnish sauna, cold plunge, a magnesium hydrotherapy bath, a dunk shower and a recovery space, open 7am – 10pm daily. No booking needed.
What Sochill Bath Club is
If you've walked past Raffles Holland V Mall and wondered what's behind the glass on the second floor, that's Sochill — a walk-in recovery club built around contrast therapy. The idea is simple: recovery shouldn't need a booking, a personal trainer or a spa-day budget. You walk in anytime between 7am and 10pm, change, and move between stations at your own pace — alone if you want quiet, or with friends if you don't. There's no “right” way to do a session and no time limit once you're in.
Sochill sits right in the middle of Holland Village, genuinely walkable from the MRT rather than a special trip across the island — an easy stop before or after a workout, a work day, or a night out.
The Finnish sauna
Searching for a sauna in Holland Village usually turns up hotel spas with day-pass fees or gym saunas that need a membership you don't actually want. Sochill's sauna is a traditional Finnish design, heated by stone heaters to around 90°C — hotter and drier than the infrared saunas that have become common in Singapore gyms, and with a stronger research track record for the cardiovascular benefits people are usually chasing.
A typical first visit runs 8 to 12 minutes in the sauna, though there's no clock forcing you out — go by how your body feels. Most members pair it with a short cold plunge afterwards, since the contrast between heat and cold is where a lot of the circulation benefit comes from.
The cold plunge
Sochill runs two temperature options rather than one fixed setting: a milder 10°C to 12°C tub for people newer to cold exposure, and a colder 7°C to 9°C tub for members who've built up tolerance over time. Jumping straight into the coldest water available is the fastest way to make your first cold plunge miserable rather than useful — 30 to 60 seconds in the milder tub is plenty for a first visit, building up toward 1 to 3 minutes over a few weeks of regular visits.
The cold plunge sits right alongside the sauna, so contrast therapy — alternating hot and cold — is easy to do in a single visit rather than needing two separate facilities.
