Hot Winter News…
Although our beachside sauna sessions have now come to a close for the season, the demand for Sauna Hetta’s return to The Barn has been incredible. With so many of you asking for winter sessions, we’re delighted to introduce a series of Festive Fire events at The Barn on The Bay throughout December and January.
This year, we’re extending the experience. Rather than our usual one-hour format, guests can now enjoy two-hour sessions, giving you more time to sink into the heat, cool off, and truly unwind. We’re also opening up Calico Barn as a dedicated chill-out space, where you can relax between rounds and make the most of the warmth and atmosphere.
To elevate the ritual further, we’ve added two cold-plunge baths to the setup, along with an outdoor cold shower for those who prefer a brisk rinse. Outside the sauna you’ll find a fire pit for gathering and toasting marshmallows, and throughout your visit you can help yourself to complimentary hot drinks and snacks. Calico Barn’s bar will also be open for post-sauna drinks (alcohol must only be consumed after your heat and cold cycles).
Because Calico Barn is such a beautiful, welcoming space, non-sauna guests are welcome to join you as well (up to two per sauna user) for a small additional fee.
What’s included:
• Two-hour extended sauna sessions
• New cold-plunge baths
• Outdoor cold shower
• Hot drinks and snacks included
• Fire pit with marshmallows
• Bar open for post-sauna drinks
Join us this winter for a deeper, slower and more restorative Sauna Hetta experience at The Barn on The Bay.

FAQs
-
Each sauna session lasts for 45 minutes with time to get changed before and after, providing ample time for relaxation and rejuvenation. We also run 2 and 3 hour sessions by arrangement.
-
We recommend regular swimwear for wearing in the sauna and flip flops or crocs for outside. You’ll need to bring a towel for wrapping up in and a towel to sit on in the sauna. Removeable jewellery such as pendant necklaces should not be worn in the sauna and you should be careful with metallic objects on swimwear.
-
At our winter location there is access to the loos at The Barn on The Bay. As they are used by cafe visitors you must wear a cover up (towelling robe or similar) and shoes when using them and we ask you to dry off before going in to prevent slipping hazards.
There are 2 shower rooms available for after your sauna.
