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.

Sauna essentials
When preparing for your sea sauna experience, it’s essential to bring along a few key items to ensure comfort and convenience. Wear your swimwear on arrival, bring two towels, and a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the session. Consider bringing a robe or cosy outerwear for the moments between the sauna and the plunge bath. Flip-flops or slip-on shoes are handy for moving around the space, and if you have sensitive skin, a natural moisturiser can be a nice addition post-session. With these essentials in hand, you’ll be ready to fully enjoy the rejuvenating blend of heat, cold, and coastal serenity.
