Set directly on the shoreline at West Sands, St Andrews, this wood-fired sauna offers a beautifully simple way to slow down, warm up, and reconnect with nature. Designed as a social sauna session, this is a shared experience where individuals, couples, and small groups come together to relax in a calm, welcoming setting. Whether you’re a regular sauna-goer or trying it for the first time, sessions are unhurried and inclusive. Inside, the heat is traditional and deeply restorative. Outside, panoramic views across West Sands and the North Sea create the perfect contrast — inviting you to cool off naturally, breathe deeply, and reset. For those comfortable with cold-water immersion, the sea offers an invigorating dip after your sauna session.
