The Sand’s Sauna
Find your calm by the sea
Slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with the elements in our sauna and spa garden, overlooking the beautiful Cornish coastline.
Warmth, water, sea air and uninterrupted views come together to create a peaceful space to restore body and mind. Sink into the soothing heat of our panoramic sauna, awaken your senses with an ice bath, cold plunge or bucket soak, then simply pause and take in the sea view.
Our sauna comfortably seats six and is heated by an electric stone heater to create the perfect balance of warmth and humidity. We provide botanical oils to enhance your experience, so you can switch off and emerge feeling refreshed and recharged.
For a magical experience, welcome the day with a sunrise session, available on request.
Gather friends or family and enjoy the space entirely to yourselves with a private sauna session, celebrate a special day with a sauna party or join one of our relaxed communal sessions.
Come as you are. Breathe in the salty air, embrace the warmth and leave feeling a little lighter.

what are the Health benefits of using a sauna?
-
As the body is exposed to the heat of a sauna and steam, it produces white blood cells more rapidly, which in turn helps to fight illnesses and helps to kill viruses. In addition, saunas can relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of sinus congestion from colds or allergies.
-
Saunas relax muscles and soothe aches/pains in both muscles and joints. As the body temperature rises in the heat of the sauna, blood vessels dilate allowing for increased blood circulation in the body which causes the stiff muscles to relax. The joints react in a similar way to muscles. The joints in your body may become inflamed from over stimulation or over use. The relaxing and penetrating heat from the sauna will cause the joints to relax. After a few short minutes the inflammation will be reduced, easing pain and stiffness.
-
Steam has long been used as a way to naturally improve skin tone thanks to the steam opening up pores and allowing sweat to remove dead skin cells and bacteria. This is a process that occurs naturally within your body anyway, but the heat of the sauna speeds up this process and gives your body a deep cleanse. Cleansing of the pores has been shown to improve the capillary circulation, while giving the skin a softer-looking quality.
-
Sweating helps flush the toxins and impurities from your body. But, for most people, our everyday activities don’t generate enough sweat to seriously purge out these unhealthy substances. Sweating also helps flush out heavy metals such as lead, zinc, copper, nickel and mercury that can be absorbed through foods or environmental factors. Detoxification clears out the lymphatic system and helps your body burn fat more effectively, gives you more energy for exercise and can speed up weight loss.
-
Saunas are a simple yet effective mechanism to enhance the quality of sleep. It is recommended for people suffering from insomnia. It is estimated that a brief spell of 15-20 minutes spent in a sauna room is almost equal to 1-2 hours of a brisk walk or workout. Using a sauna affects the autonomic nervous system to put you in the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state, which helps you unwind and get a great night’s rest.
