welcome to fjord ice baths
We design and build premium ice baths, forged from the magic of nordic winter bathing and cold exposure therapy.
With a shared passion for design, engineering, health and performance, Danish-Australian brothers Daniel and Nicklas built Fjord as a way to bring the ritual and magic of Nordic winter bathing to the warmer parts of the world.
Located in the heart of Burleigh Heads, Australia, Fjord Ice baths are designed and manufactured by experts using the best materials, processes and standards.

why fjord?
Throughout history fjords have played an important role in the way humans have travelled, settled and expanded. Ever since the Viking Ages, the nordic fjords have been a place of nourishment, community and protection. A place where people have thrived together, mastered their surroundings and built settlements into villages, villages into towns.
Fjord Ice Baths is built on this natural philosophy, encapsulating the beauty, community and tranquillity of the nordic fjords. A sanctuary for your mind, body and soul.
