Golden Hour Tanning

A cozy little sanctuary bringing sunshine to St. Joe—year-round.

Golden Hour was created to give the St. Joseph community a thoughtful, intentional place to experience the benefits of UV exposure—hello, Vitamin D and better moods—without the endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in most traditional tanning environments. They see themselves as the myth-busters of tanning: the problem isn’t the sun, it’s the toxins. Their goal is to offer a safer, cleaner, more mindful approach that helps people feel good from the inside out.

But Golden Hour is far more than a tanning studio. Their wellness services turn the space into a true retreat. Guests can enjoy infrared sauna sessions, ionic foot baths, Celluma light therapy, red-light and near-infrared treatments, and Flowpresso—a restorative blend of compression, warmth, and gentle pressure designed to support detoxification, circulation, and deep relaxation. These offerings create a calm, holistic environment where anyone can unwind, recharge, and reconnect with their well-being.

The team behind Golden Hour is small, warm, and deeply community-rooted. They’ve intentionally built a cozy studio where college students, moms, athletes, and longtime locals all feel welcome. It’s the kind of place where the energy is kind, the atmosphere is grounding, and people genuinely feel cared for.

Golden Hour also believes wellness should be accessible, which is why they offer ongoing student discounts—reduced pricing all year round. And for winter? They’re rolling out their New Year Winter Glow Bundle, which includes three sauna sessions, three red-light sessions, and three tans for just $99 through December 31. Golden Hour Tanning
