The Saltwater Sauna

A Nordic bathing experience that combines ancient wisdom with progressive wellness through heat exposure, cold immersion, & connection.

Connecting you with nature, reap the benefits of contrast therapy from the comfort of our luxury beach-side saunas. Relax and enjoy the 'löyly' and reap the benefits of nature and heat, as you recharge in an authentic Finnish, wood-fired sauna. Located on Sandbanks Beach, our sauna seats 8 people, with stunning views to the sea through a panoramic window. The sauna includes a small built-in changing area, and boasts warm LED downlighting, welsh grown Douglas fir floorboards, quality ventilation, and British sheep's wool insulation.

Join us for golden sunsets and sunrises, crisp autumn and winter mornings, moody skies, and stormy weather-fronts, all from the comfort of our luxury beach-side sauna.

Chefs are the heart of the hospitality industry, but they’re also some of the most overworked, overstretched and overlooked when it comes to mental health.

We welcomed the chefs from at The Saltwater Sauna for a moment away from the pressure: a reset through contrast therapy, cold water and connection. A reminder of how powerful it can be to simply stop.

This December, we’re supporting The Burnt Chef Project and their mission to improve mental health in hospitality.

For eight years in a row, Finland has been named the happiest country in the world by the World Happiness Report, and as the birthplace of the sauna (with almost 90% of Finns indulging at least once a week!), maybe there's something to it? 🔥🧖🏻‍♀️
