A Nordic Bathing Experience
Blending ancient practices with modern wellness, this experience unites heat therapy, cold immersion, and connection to create a perfect harmony of tradition and innovation.
Discover ultimate relaxation at our Nordic wood-fired sea sauna and plunge bath, located in the picturesque setting of Croyde Bay. Your journey begins with the sauna’s soothing warmth, followed by an invigorating plunge into cold water—a rejuvenating ritual designed to enhance your well-being.
While basking in the sauna’s heat, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. The rhythmic sound of waves and the gentle sea breeze combine to form a serene natural symphony.
Embrace the striking contrast between the sauna’s enveloping warmth and the revitalizing chill of the cold plunge tub. This dynamic interaction invites you to find peace and balance through a unique connection to the elements of earth, fire, and water.

Redefine social experiences – where warmth meets connection, and chill sparks camaraderie.
A sanctuary where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and empowered. Here, every curve, line, and unique trait is a cause for celebration.
Embracing all backgrounds, identities, and stories, we create a space where everyone is not only welcomed, but truly seen, heard, and valued.
