RECHARGE & REFRESHRelax,

Combine that with golden sandy beaches, bright blue skies, warming wood fired heat and life affirming sea dips to really send your senses wild. Enter Saunas by the Sea, an ingenious, eco start up with wellness at its core set up by Steve French, Henry Millar and Luke Culkin, three local guys who have seen the benefits of recovery and wellbeing themselves in their day to day life.

These cool blackened timber pods provide a convenient mobile sauna service, front and centre on two of North Cornwall’s best surf spots - Harlyn, near Padstow or Baby Bay at New Polzeath. Arguably the best located saunas around, the views are the stuff of dreams and a mesmerising distraction while you recharge your mind and body, sit for a moment, breathe and relax.

Book 50 minute solo seats or a group booking for the whole pod easily online 24/7. Authentically eco, and handcrafted from sustainable timber, the saunas tread lightly on the surrounding landscape with no trace remaining where they once stood. Each sauna is hand built locally and uses a high quality Estonia wood fired stove that ensures your comfort and safety and includes a small private changing space and a shower if a dip in the sea is a step too far. The saunas are available to rent all year round as well as for events and weekends and there is also the option to buy or long term rent smaller saunas for the garden. www.saunasbythesea.co.uk

If you haven’t tried it, do. Nothing beats that tingling feeling, the cold rush, followed by the intense warmth and deep relaxation during the session. The ideal accompaniment to cold water swimming, it looks like north Cornwall is fast developing its own sauna culture and a little birdie tells us that there is another site on the horizon. We can’t wait!
