We’re incredibly proud to be featured in ’s guide to the UK’s Best Beach Saunas.

From sunrise sessions at Sandbanks and coastal adventures at Lulworth Cove, to sunset swims at Avon Beach and communal sauna rituals at Boscombe, each of our locations offers a unique way to experience sauna by the sea.

What unites them is a shared belief in the power of hot, cold, rest and connection - all set against some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the country.

A huge thank you to our community for being part of the journey. ❤️‍🔥

We’re thrilled to announce that The Saltwater Sauna has been awarded “Best Design” for our Boscombe SAUNA HOUSE at the 2026 Sauna Summit Awards! 🏆✨

A HUGE thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for us. To be recognised by the UK sauna community for a design we poured so much thought, care and passion into means the world to us 🙏🏻❤️‍🔥

From the very beginning, our vision for Boscombe SAUNA HOUSE was to create more than just a sauna. We wanted to craft a complete sauna journey — carefully considering every detail, from the flow of the venue and guest experience to the materials, textures, and design influences throughout the space. Inspired by Finnish design principles and natural materials, it’s incredibly special to have that vision recognised with a Best Design award.

A huge thank you to the talented teams at , and J Towler Construction for helping bring that vision to life. It’s been a privilege to collaborate with such skilled people who cared as deeply about every detail as we did.

We’re also incredibly proud that this marks our third consecutive year winning at the Sauna Summit Awards — a reflection of the passion, dedication and hard work of our whole team across all our sites.

Congratulations to all the other winners, and thank you to everyone who continues to support the growing sauna movement in the UK. What a community to be part of ❤️
