Sauna Etiquette

  • Enter and leave quickly and quietly – minimise heat loss and keep it relaxing.
  • Respect the dress code – Remember we’re in England! Unless a private booking, please ensure swimwear is worn.
  • Use a towel – For hygiene please use a towel to sit or lie down on. It will also be more comfortable, acting as a buffer between your skin and the hot wood.
  • Ask before pouring water on the rocks – When you pour water on the sauna’s heated rocks, it creates apowerful burst of hot and soothing steam. It feels amazing. But some people don’t like it.
  • So before you pour water on the sauna rocks, ask everyone in the sauna if that’s okay. You need unanimous consent for this one.
  • Don’t Listen to music – this is a relaxing experience. No one wants to listen to your phone or what’scoming through your headphones.
  • Leave all electronics outside – Apart from steam not doing electronics any good. As above, this is a relaxing experience!
  • Make room for others – We have designed our sauna to be roomy and never overbook it. Sitting downtakes priority over laying down. So make room for others.
  • Don’t exercise in the sauna – Saunas are for relaxing. Leave your yoga or press ups outside!
  • No grooming – Hair or even nails. Just relax. Groom yourself outside.
