MEND does the two things that matter and does them properly. There is a traditional Finnish sauna for dry heat and an infrared one for the slow burn, then a hot plunge and an ice bath to swing you between the extremes. Massage and bodywork sit alongside for the days you want hands involved. The design is pared back and earthy, what the founders call humble luxury, which in Margaret River reads as cedar, neutral tones and nothing shouting. It is the contrast bathing circuit stripped to its essentials. Hot. Cold. Repeat. Then a long drink of water and the drive home.
