How Cliff House Maine extended a luxury spa visit
Hospitality · Luxury resort spa
Cliff House Maine is a luxury oceanfront resort on the southern Maine coast, with a spa serving resort guests and day visitors. Director of Spa, Wellness & Retail Julie Pankey added a three-person mPulse Conquer infrared sauna to the women's locker room, offered as part of a paid wellness service.
~150
sessions a month · 45 min average session · Minimal staff time per session
Staff orient guests, clean and reset the space between sessions. Guests favor the mPulse preset programs.
We wanted a wellness partner, not just a sauna. Sunlighten's commitment to innovation, education, and guest well-being made it the clear choice.
Which sauna fits your spa?
Every sauna below uses patented SoloCarbon® heaters with 95-99% emissivity and ultra-low EMF. Amplify™RED and mPulse® both add red light therapy: Amplify™RED surrounds users with red and near-infrared light throughout the cabin, and mPulse® delivers each wavelength separately. Each cabin is double-wall constructed and insulated, and 20-30% heavier than comparable models. Trusted by 200+ wellness experts, celebrities and professional athletes, Sunlighten's specialists will help you choose the right model for your space.

Light: Red light and near infrared integrated throughout the cabin, plus full-spectrum near, mid and far infrared

Sunlighten infrared sauna
| Heat source | Infrared radiant heaters emit wavelengths that heat the body directly |
| Temperature range* | 100-170°F |
| Installation | Cabins plug into a dedicated circuit; no special ventilation |
| Maintenance | Low; easy to clean between guests |
| Experience | Non-stifling heat can make for comfortable, enjoyable, stress-relieving sessions. |
| How heat works | The body absorbs infrared energy directly; the sauna's heat can also raise body temperature. |
Traditional sauna
| Heat source | A stove heats the air |
| Temperature range* | 160-200°F |
| Installation | Needs proper insulation and ventilation |
| Maintenance | Moderate; wood care and cleaning |
| Experience | The hotter, more intense air can feel stifling and uncomfortable, driving a hard, fast sweat and often shorter sessions. |
| How heat works | An electric or wood-fired heater heats the air, which transfers heat to the body and can raise body temperature. |
