Overview
Come and spend an hour in our wood-fired horse box sauna on the beach at Robin Hood’s Bay. Warm up, listen to the waves and take a break outside whenever you fancy. If conditions are right, you can dip in the sea before heading back into the heat. It’s a simple way to slow down, feel good and enjoy this beautiful stretch of coast. We aim to be here every Saturday, tides permitting. Sea dips are optional and at your own discretion. Please take care on the rocky shore.
Highlights
Physical Health
Sauna warmth can help ease muscle tension and stiffness, giving you time to relax and recover after exercise. Regular sauna bathing has also been linked with better cardiovascular health and lower rates of stroke and dementia.
Mental Health
Step out of the noise and into the warmth. A sauna session can help you slow down, ease stress and lift your mood. Many people also find that the deep relaxation helps them sleep better afterwards.
Community
There’s something lovely about sharing the sauna with other people. Conversations start, stories are swapped and laughter comes easily. You can join in or simply enjoy the company. Many friendships have begun in the warmth of our sauna.

Wild Horse Box Sauna
🕒 We start with a gentle 10-15 minutes in the sauna, gradually increasing the heat. As your core temperature rises and you begin to sweat, we take a refreshing break to cool off. 🌬️💦
After cooling for a few minutes, we dive back into the sauna. 🔄 Then we repeat 🌡️💪
Your safety and comfort are our priority, as our experienced team carefully monitors the heat. ❄️😌
In just one hour, you'll experience three invigorating sauna rounds, interspersed with two or three revitalizing breaks. ♨️✨
Cold plunger
To cool down, you have two options: Either relax outside the sauna or take a invigorating cold water plunge. 💦🏊♂️
If you choose the plunge, we recommend a gradual approach to help your body adjust. Start by wading into the water gently, allowing your body to acclimate. Once up to your waist, take a deep breath through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth, and gently submerge your body, sitting on the floor. Remember, there's no need to go beyond your depth for the full plunge experience. 🌊🌬️
However, please note that entering the water is at your own risk. ⚠️💧

Trip Tips
Bring a bottle of water
You will sweat a lot and so bring some water... with maybe a crunch of sea salt in for hydration.
Wear swimming cozzie underneath
To save time when you get here just wear your cozzie underneath.
Be gentle and don't go out of your depth
If you do decide to have a dip , please be gentle on yourself, go in slowly and incrementally. Then when you are up to your waist slowly submerge. There is no need to go out of your depth. You go in the sea at your own risk.
Wrap Up Warm It is Winter!
Bring plenty of baggy clothes to get back into once you are finished. Maybe a changing robe for modesty!
Head torch or torch
If you are attending a session before or after dark it might be helpful for you to bring a head torch or torch. We do have lights, but it is best to have your own personal torch if you have one!
Big tidal range
We can only get on the beach below mid tide. Which is why our times are not consistent week in week out.
Rocky shore
In places the shore is rocky so please be careful you may wish to use wetsuit boots or similar.
FAQs
What Should I Do in a Sauna?
We recommend simply doing the sauna what traditional sauna-ers have long done: nothing. Just sit there. Let your mind go. Do some reflecting while your thinking is still sharp; meditate when your mind starts going blank. Just be.
We will have a guided meditation and breathwork if the feeling is right.
It is also Ok to chat- this is your session and gift to yourself.
What Should I Do After I Sauna?
During your sauna session, you’ll lose a lot of water through your sweat — up to four cups during a twenty-minute session! Be sure to rehydrate with plenty of water afterward. Supplement with electrolytes as needed.
We would also recommend to just go easy on yourself. You will be in a state of high vibration and relaxation. You want to be in that state as long as possible so stay away from stressful or negative situations, people or media.
What Should I Bring?
Bottle of water. Towl. Bag for putting clothes in while you are in the sauna. Dress in something loose and comfy with bathing costume underneath. We are just in bathing costume in the sauna then in and out of the sea (if you wish). Afterwards it's a case of getting back into your clothes again a bit wet, so consider a dressing gown/towel/ dry robe for modesty.
I do not want to go in the sea
That is absolutely fine there is no pressure at all to go in the sea! You can stay in the sauna as long as is comfortable and just take breaks out in the air.
