A little bit of helpful information, please contact us if you have any other questions.
-
Wear whatever helps you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Swimwear or minimal clothing works best
Jewellery should always be removed as metal heats quickly and can burn skin
Sitting on a towel improves comfort and hygiene
There’s no “correct” way to dress comfort comes first.
-
Hydration is essential.
Drink water before your session
Drink between rounds
Have water nearby at all times
You’ll want:
One towel for sitting or lying on
One towel for drying off afterwards
There will be drinking water available and you can rent towels from us.
-
Less is more.
Typical sauna rounds last 10–15 minutes
Take breaks of at least 5 minutes between rounds
Most people enjoy 2–4 rounds
Always rest and rehydrate after your final round before moving on
There’s no prize for staying in longer, the benefits come from listening to your body, not pushing through discomfort.
-
Our sauna is properly heated before use so the warmth comes from all around, not just the stove.
For the best overall sauna experience, we aim to keep temperatures within the 80–90°C range, adjusting as needed for comfort and safety.
A well-heated sauna feels enveloping rather than harsh. If it doesn’t feel right, let us know. We’d rather adjust things than rush the experience.
-
For safety reasons, guests must be 16 years or older to use the sauna independently. Young people aged 12–15 are welcome when accompanied by a responsible adult, and we don’t recommend sauna use for children under 12 due to the intensity of the heat.
-
Think of sauna use a bit like exercise.
Avoid heavy meals just before your session
Equally, don’t arrive completely empty …feeling faint isn’t the goal
A light meal an hour or two beforehand usually works well
If you wouldn’t go for a hard run after eating something, it’s probably not ideal before sauna either.
-
To keep everyone safe and comfortable, we have a strict zero-alcohol policy. No alcohol is served or permitted in or around the sauna at any time. Alcohol can affect your body’s ability to regulate heat and increase the risk of dehydration, dizziness, or injury, so we ask all guests to enjoy their sauna experience alcohol-free.
Sauna Safety
For most people sauna bathing is enjoyable, well tolerated and safe when done sensibly. That said, heat exposure isn’t suitable for everyone.
Please do not take part if you:
Are pregnant, particularly in higher-risk pregnancies
Have serious or unstable heart conditions
Have recently had a heart attack
Have significant circulation problems or severe spinal injuries
Have been advised by a medical professional to avoid heat or cold exposure
Post Sauna Care
“Good sauna followed by good sleep is one of the most powerful combinations for feeling genuinely restored.”
We like to think of post-sauna recovery in four gentle stages.
Stage 1: Slow the Body Down - When you leave the sauna, your body needs time to shift out of “heat mode” and settle back into balance. This takes time, at least 15 minutes. This is your moment to sit or lie down, breathe, let the sweating stop and drink water.
Stage 2: Change & Get Comfortable
Stage 3: Eat & Replenish - After you’ve cooled and changed, simple, nourishing food is ideal. Think comforting rather than heavy.
Stage 4: Rest & Sleep - After sauna, many people find their body is primed for deep, restorative sleep.
