Forbes of Kingennie – Social Wild Scottish Sauna
Set within the beautiful grounds of Forbes of Kingennie Country Resort, this Wild Scottish Sauna offers a deeply restorative 1-hour, fire-heated sauna experience overlooking open water and wild landscape. Designed as a social sauna session, this experience invites you to slow down, warm fully, and reconnect — whether you’re visiting as part of a wider stay at the resort or simply carving out time to reset. The sauna is gently heated using traditional methods, allowing warmth to build evenly and comfortably, with space to sit, breathe and unwind. After warming, guests are encouraged to cool off in the fresh Scottish air, with the option of cold-water immersion in the nearby loch — a natural contrast that leaves you feeling grounded, refreshed and deeply relaxed. This is a welcoming, unhurried sauna experience suitable for individuals, couples or small groups who value quality, calm and connection to place.
