FAQ’s AIRE Ancient Baths New York · Upper East Side

What is AIRE and what is the AIRE Experience? What makes it different from a spa? 

AIRE Ancient Baths is a unique relaxation space for your body and mind to get rid of the stress of everyday life. The experience we offer you will allow you to feel a set of sensations with yourself or shared with whoever you want. 

The AIRE Experience includes our thermal tour in a unique environment where you can move freely. You will enjoy a journey of sensations as you walk through our baths at different temperatures, strolling through a unique architectural space in the city. Let yourself be guided by the candlelight and the aroma of orange blossom and complete your experience with a massage or ritual to achieve a state of total relaxation of body and mind.  

What experience should I get, what kind of massages do you offer?

The AIRE Experience is really complete when you add a massage or ritual to our iconic thermal tour. That is why we have designed a series of experiences that include mainly relaxing massages with specific products to bring you unique sensations. All our experiences can be completed with our selection of complements to create an even more perfect trip. You can decide according to your needs or tastes to take you to the purest state of relaxation. 

To avoid crowds, we have a limit of people on the thermal tour. We accept a certain number of clients each hour, and we only reserve a number of places for people who do not want massages. The massages can be performed during the whole duration of the experience, avoiding crowds in the thermal baths.

I am pregnant, can I come and enjoy an AIRE Experience?

Unfortunately, the AIRE Experiences aren't suitable for pregnant clients.

We hope you understand that our priority is to provide a relaxing experience for all who visit AIRE but the safety of our clients is of our utmost priority.

We would love to be able to pamper the soon-to-be mothers, however the high humidity of our space can impact the blood flow and heart rate of the guest which could be potentially harmful. In addition, our therapists do not receive any specific training and our facilities are unprepared to accomodate pregnant clients and it’s specific necessities.

Please be assured that we have consulted with a team of experts regarding this matter and have made the decision that there is a risk associated.

According to expert sources consulted, people who have given birth should not go in the water (bathing, swimming...) until 6 weeks postpartum. We therefore recommend you wait until you are ready. We look forward to welcoming you back to AIRE after this time for a unique and relaxing experience. Do not hesitate to contact us at nyues@beaire.com with the subject "Post Pregnant AIRE Experience" and we will make sure you have your moment of relaxation with a special benefit.

Can I give an AIRE Experience as a gift? 

You definitely can! Sharing AIRE means sharing a unique sensation. With our AIRE Gift Box you can give the AIRE Experience to whomever you want. The shipping costs and delivery time might change depending on the recipient’s address. The physical Gift Box has a design created for the recipient to discover your experience step by step. The digital version, on the other hand, is an immersive, interactive and customisable way to give AIRE as a gift.

What is the bath area like? Will there be other people in the baths with me? 

The bathing area is a large co-ed space, with different zones and massage areas. We regulate the capacity of the experiences in shifts, to guarantee your privacy and tranquility during them, but they will not be private so you will coincide with other clients.    

We limit the number of people who can enter our center and we alternate clients between bathing and massage time in order to have as few people as possible.

Depending on the experience: 1 hour and a half for experiences without massage and 2 or 3 hours for experiences with massages and rituals.
