Your private sauna experience

Our Saunas

Refresh with our private sauna experience in a stone-heated sauna with views over magically lit ponds and small waterfalls. Designed for up to four people in your group, these traditional saunas are made with fragrant Japanese hinoki wood and use volcanic rocks from Finland. Our nearby cedar cold plunge tubs allow you to embrace the benefits of contrast therapy, creating an invigorating experience.

Your private sauna experience will include a 40-minute sauna (plus 10 mins to change), as well as complimentary cold plunge tubs and cold shower, chilled drinking water and access to our Shinny Dip foot hot tubs. Towels, swimwear, and robes are all available for hire at reception.

How it works

Your private sauna experience at Secret Spot is 40 minutes long, with an individual changing area located inside your sauna. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, and remember that swimwear or appropriate clothing must be worn at all times. Crafted from aromatic Japanese hinoki wood, our saunas start from approximately 70°C and can comfortably fit up to four members of your group. Inside, you’ll enjoy a traditional sauna experience with heated volcanic rocks and a bucket of water, allowing you to control the level of steam. 

Chilled drinking water is provided, and you’ll have access to nearby 12°C cold plunge tubs and a cold outdoor shower. For the best results and to experience the full benefits of contrast therapy, we recommend alternating between the sauna and cold plunge throughout your session.

Contrast therapy

Throughout your private sauna experience, refresh with our ‘Brass Monkeys’ cold plunge tubs. Sitting at a chilly 12°C, these plunge tubs are a great way to cool down during your sauna. Contrast therapy (exposure to hot/cold environments) is known to improve blood circulation, ease muscle tension, and reduce fatigue.

These cedar plunge tubs are located at the entrance to the Sauna Corner and are complimentary with your sauna experience.
