A shower comes first — an essential ritual to cleanse before entering the sauna and respect the shared space. Choose from hot or cold showers, or embrace the cold bucket shower between sauna rounds for a refreshing reset.
Refill your water bottle, bring your towel to sit on, and prepare to step into the heat together.

sea dip.
From heat to cold — a practice used for generations across Nordic cultures. Step into the sea to cool the body, sharpen the senses, and connect with nature.
Boscombe's sandy shoreline offers easy, gradual entry, framed by the beauty of the Dorset coastline. Dip fully, paddle gently, or simply breathe by the water’s edge.

lounge.
In Nordic sauna culture, pausing between rounds is part of the ritual. Slow down, let the heat settle, and take your time before returning.
The lounge is where that happens. Help yourself to a herbal tea from our curated selection, drawn fresh from the instant hot tap and included in every session, then sit, talk, and catch up before going back in.
