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.
