Scottish Saunas By the sea

Wood-fired saunas on the shoreline at Elie, St Andrews and Cellardyke with wild swimming and sea dips right on the doorstep.

Scotland's Original Sauna-by-the-Sea Experience

We're sauna operators, not just a sauna business. It started with one wood-fired sauna on the dunes at Elie Harbour in June 2022, designed by our founder Judith Dunlop following a lifetime immersed in the outdoor swimming tradition of East Fife and outdoor swimming around the world. That original sauna quickly became known nationally as one of the best places for sauna and wild swimming in Scotland - and it's grown from there. Today we run wood-fired saunas by the sea at three spots on the Fife coast, each offering the same outdoor sauna experience Scotland's coastline does best - proper heat, cold water close by, and people who know what they're doing. Whether it's a sea dip sauna session after a swim or sauna yoga with a view, this is sauna by the sea, done properly.

"Sauna with beautiful setting and amazing view over Elie beach. Great, comfortable and super-relaxing. Invigorating, too, with a very short walk to a dip in the sea. Highly recommend it! Well done Judith."

"Absolutely perfect sauna experience, great size space, gorgeous view and incredible staff! The tide was out but still enjoyed a dip in the sea. Already planning our next visit."
