Best times and simple strategies for a perfect soak
Hot tubs are most restorative when you match the moment to your mood. Use these simple guidelines to curate your ideal sunset session.
Time it right
- Golden hour glide: Just before sunset often brings softer light and cooler temperatures—ideal for relaxation and photos.
- After-dark calm: Slip back in after dinner for starry-night serenity and quieter vibes.
Pair your day, then soak
- Active first, relax later: Explore the water with on-site snorkeling, paddle boarding, or watercraft rentals, then return to the hot tub to ease your muscles.
- Beach-and-back plan: Take the complimentary courtesy shuttle to Governor’s Beach (about 5 minutes) or Public Beach (about 8 minutes) between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and cap the day with a sunset soak on property.
Hydrate and reset
- Sip smart: Make use of filtered water stations around the resort to stay hydrated before and after your soak.
- Keep sessions moderate: Short, repeated dips with cool-down breaks tend to feel better than one long stay.
Transition with comfort
- Room-to-relax flow: After your soak, unwind in your renovated room or suite with a private balcony, plush bathrobes, and slippers.
Pair your soak with poolside sips and bites
Hot tub time pairs perfectly with easy refreshments before or after your dip. Here’s how to tailor the moment.
Vista Bar: your sunset wingman
Poolside and effortless, Vista Bar offers a menu of delicious options and refreshing cocktails—the ultimate summer spot. It’s a natural choice for light bites and a chilled drink before you settle into the hot tub or as a post-soak treat while you watch the mesmerizing sunset.
Anchor Bar & Lounge: crafted and creative
At Anchor Bar & Lounge, cocktails and mocktails are prepared with the freshest ingredients, including locally crafted gin and rum in signature recipes. Unwind with creative sips, fresh sushi and oysters from the raw bar, or even made-to-order crêpes as you ease into the evening.
Dinner next door
If your soak stirs your appetite, you’re steps from two distinct dining moods:
- Veranda: Alfresco lunch and dinner by the ocean with vintage-inspired décor and bohemian charm.
- Den: Start the day with à la carte breakfast (and a weekend breakfast buffet), then return at night for a globally inspired, locally sourced menu.
- Whitelime: For mornings after a starry soak, sip freshly brewed coffee and enjoy baked pastries and homemade crêpes in a sunny, open-air setting.
Hot tub etiquette and wellness made easy
Respectful, mindful soaking ensures everyone enjoys the space. These simple guidelines help you get the most from your sunset ritual.
Do
- Rinse first, rinse after: A quick shower helps keep water pristine and leaves you feeling refreshed post-soak.
- Hydrate often: Alternate warm soaks with cool water breaks. Filtered refill stations make it easy.
- Limit single sessions: Shorter intervals feel restorative and help your body regulate temperature.
- Be mindful of volume: Keep voices low so the ambience stays tranquil for all.
- Secure loose items: Safeguard jewelry and devices away from water splashes.
- Follow posted guidance: Observe any on-deck signage for the most up-to-date recommendations.
Don’t
- Skip hydration: Warm water can be dehydrating; keep water handy.
- Wear heavy lotions into the tub: Rinse first for comfort and water quality.
- Monopolize seating: Share space during peak sunset windows so everyone can enjoy.
