About Our Sauna
Nestled next to Ness Slip in Stromness on Orkney Island, overlooking the scenic Stromness Harbour, a charmingly repurposed horse trailer awaits, offering a truly calm, relaxing and distinctive Sauna experience.
We've lovingly transformed an old horse trailer into a mobile sanctuary, researched and designed to echo the time-honoured traditions of Finnish Saunas.
Step inside and you'll be enveloped by the rich warmth of Redwood, crafted to achieve optimal air circulation which is key to achieving löyly. This Finnish term means the “Spirit of Life” which is best described as the invigorating steam that rises when water meets the heated stones on our authentic Harvia wood-burning sauna stove, which itself rests upon a genuine Orkney beach stone.
Our prime location at Ness Slip in Stromness also offers a bracing opportunity for the truly adventurous: embrace the invigorating contrast of hot and cold therapy with a refreshing dip in the sea. This practice is renowned for its numerous health benefits.
Whether you choose to brave the icy waters or simply bask in the sauna's comforting heat, we're sure you'll find the experience both relaxing and rejuvenating, whilst taking in the picturesque scenery of Stromness Harbour as the boats glide by - a truly unique way to unwind.
