The Rise

Elevate your vacation to another level with a visit to a serene retreat where comfort and clarity effortlessly combine

WHERE IS IT? The Rise is ensconced in that alluring black building on Sunset Boulevard, just off Broadway.

WHY SHOULD I GO? Coming to the beach in Cape May is a pretty decent way to catch a break from the everyday stressors of life — it’s been happening here since pre-Victorian times. But at The Rise, an exciting new sauna and hydrotherapy retreat, they take your wellbeing to a new level.

The various therapies at The Rise are all rooted in water, harnessing its temperature, buoyancy, pressure and hydration to help you heal and relax.

Owners Ean Oesterle and Jon Fusco, who moved to West Cape May from Brooklyn, have created a magical space where you can relax in meditative serenity or strengthen your bonds and destress through social connection.

There are five beautifully designed spaces offering Contrast Therapy, Float Therapy, Hydrotherapy and IV Vitamin Infusion. The common denominator? You come out feeling like you’ve got a new lease on life.

After your session, leave some extra time to linger, relax and connect... courtesy of a complimentary cup of tea in the serene lounge or on the outdoor patio.

Your beach getaway just received a major relaxation upgrade.
