Book Your Sauna
If you come here often, you’ll notice some changes to our booking system. We hope these will make your booking experience easier and quicker. You can now book private sessions yourself from the calendar and see where we will be in a simple, colour-coded calendar.
If you experience any problems, please be in touch as we work through the transition!
Before you book:
We like to keep things simple — there’s no shelter or changing facilities at the sauna. It’s all part of the easy, outdoor experience, so come prepared for the elements and embrace the wild!
We have space for up to 8 people in the sauna at one time. If you have a larger group, you can book back-to-back sessions so everyone gets a turn to warm up.
Our most popular spot - tucked above the beach on Sandbraes Road - gives sauna-goers uninterrupted views across Whiting Bay to the mainland and a wonderfully private feel. From the sauna, a set of rustic steps leads down to a small pebbly strip, then on to a wide stretch of sand and the sea—a beautiful place to sauna at any tide.
Top tip: pack beach shoes to nip over the pebbles in comfort!
Whiting Bay
When we’re at Kildonan, the sauna sits just above the beach at Seal Shore Campsite, with sweeping views to Pladda and, in the distance, Ailsa Craig—a dramatic backdrop if ever there was one. Access to the beach (and your sea dip) is via a few large boulders that act as natural steps. Because it’s so tide-dependent, a sauna session at Kildonan is a rare treat!
Kildonan
Lamlash
When we’re at Lamlash, you’ll find the sauna on the grassy verge above the beach, right outside the COAST Discovery Centre. It’s a front-row seat to the view of Holy Isle, and just a short stroll - or a brisk dash! - to the water for your cool-off.
This site is more open and less secluded than our Whiting Bay spot, giving it a lively, airy atmosphere. Another tide dependant site, and a special treat in the evening as the sunsets.
Private Sauna Session / Hire
While a lot of our sauna sessions are social ones, sometimes it’s nice to just be surrounded by people you know.
Our private sessions are for up to 8 people (including any children) for 1 hour, for £100 and are held at one of our regular sites - dependant on schedule. We can accommodate up to 10 people per session, but charge an additional £10 per extra person, to a maximum price of £120.
You can now arrange a private session through our booking system, but we’re happy to help if you have a larger group or different needs.
