We regret that children under the age of 16 are not permitted to use the sauna under our insurance policy.
As our sauna is located in a public space, swimwear is compulsory for all our experiences – nudity is not permitted in or around the sauna. We ask that every customer sits on a towel at all times in the sauna.
For health and safety reasons, please refrain from bringing your own products and oils for the session as these cannot be used in our saunas. Essential oils that haven’t been approved for in-sauna use may react to the heat and release toxins, ignite on the stove, or create slippery surfaces inside the sauna.
Alcohol is not permitted in the sauna. Sea Sauna Croyde operators reserve the right to refuse admission to intoxicated persons.
If you’re feeling unwell and/or have tested positive for Covid, please get in touch via email. If closed due to Covid restrictions, a full refund or credit will be given at any time. If we have to cancel a booking, you will be notified by email and helped to find an alternative time slot / refunded/credited.
Sufficient sauna ventilation is one of the most integral aspects of an authentic Finnish sauna. A constant source of fresh air ensures the hot air is well circulated and used air is removed before it becomes stagnant. Our sauna and changing room are also cleaned between each group for everyone’s health & safety.

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.
