ODOS

The Verdict

Melburnians, we’ve found the hottest wellness studio you need to rewind, relax and rejuvenate after a hard week (or 20-something years, if we’re being honest here). Armadale’s newest arrival—ODOS—is a specialised infrared sauna and oxygen therapy studio with treatments that sooth your body using the latest technology in wellness and health.

A type of mild but ultra effective oxygen therapy, AirPods are totally safe and the perfect way to disconnect from the world. Using mild pressure to increase the availability of oxygen in your blood within a comfy AF capsule (it’s essentially a better version of your bed)—AirPods can assist with fatigue, stress and boost skin health. In other words, it’s the goddamn dream.

Treatment takes a full hour and there’s two-way communication with the operator for the duration of your treatment, in case you need to hop out at any stage.

Double down on wellness (you’ll need it before your Saturday night out), and book in for an infrared sauna session. All sauna appointments are private (and creep free), while sizes range from domo-style solo pods that are essentially the comfiest heated electric blanket ever, to cabin saunas that fit up to three people. All saunas are heated with infrared, meaning there’s no steam or hot rocks, and your iPhone is totally welcome inside.

There are showers, luxury soaps and toiletries to enjoy after your appointment. Help yourself to tea and a selection of magazines as you marinade in post-treatment bliss.
