Scandinavian sauna
overlooking Criccieth Beach

Come and experience our Scandinavian style wood-fired sauna, where you can immerse yourself in blissful heat while enjoying a panoramic view of Cardigan bay.

Located a stone’s throw from the sea just above Criccieth’s eastern beach, the view from the sauna takes in the Rhinogydd mountain range of Southern Eryri, the medieval castles of Harlech and Criccieth, and the beautiful coastline and sea in between.

Come to relax, socialise, and reap the health benefits of sauna in a technology-free, calming space while connecting with the natural beauty of the Welsh coast.

Private or Communal

At Criccieth Sauna your session can either be Private, for you and your party of up to 8 people, or you can book a place in a Communal Session with other members of the public.

For your comfort, we limit the number in a communal session to 6, to allow everyone a little more space.

Sauna sessions are available in 50 or 80 minute blocks, including time for changing.

We are regularly open from Friday to Monday every week; please see our bookings page for available sessions.

If you would like to arrange a bespoke sauna experience or private hire outside of our normal opening hours, please contact us.

why use a Sauna?

Sauna health benefits

Cardiovascular health

Sauna use is widely recognised to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as releasing endorphins that make us feel happy!

Promotes relaxation

Cortisol, the stress hormone, is reduced when using the sauna – helping to alleviate stress and anxiety, and improve your mood.

Respiratory tract health

Sauna use may promote respiratory tract health by helping to humidify the airways and reduce airway inflammation. This can help reduce your chances of catching a cold or other respiratory infection.

Helps to ease pain

The increase in body temperature in a sauna helps to relax muscles and improve circulation, which reduces pain sensations.

Reduce inflammation

Especially in conjunction with cold water, sauna use can reduce inflammation, which can help with conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches & back pain.

Social & fun

Social activities can promote mental wellbeing and most importantly sauna use can be great fun

Not convinced? We aren’t medical professionals, but the people who wrote this paper entitled Cardiovascular and Other Health Benefits of Sauna Bathing: A Review of the Evidence certainly are. Then there’s What to Know About Saunas and Your Health from WebMD, and Let’s talk sauna and mental wellbeing from the British Sauna Society. And of course there’s plenty of other information on the Internet for you to search for.

Why book a Sauna experience?

We might be biased, but we think saunas are brilliant!  The sauna provides a retreat where you can relax and restore mind, body and soul, whatever the weather.  And there is no risk of inclement weather spoiling your experience – in fact the feeling of being cocooned in the warmth of the sauna is even better when it is cold, wet and windy outside.  Take a look at our bookings page to find a session that best suits your need.
