Wellness isn’t just for spas anymore. Across the UK, more people are creating their very own sauna retreats at home. Whether it’s a classic traditional sauna or a modern infrared sauna, both offer relaxation, comfort, and powerful health benefits.
👉 Imagine stepping into soothing heat after a long day—without leaving your home.
A traditional sauna (sometimes called a Finnish sauna) uses heated stones to raise air temperatures up to 80–100 °C. Add water to the stones, and you’ll get a refreshing burst of steam that makes the heat feel even more intense.
Authentic spa-style heat with centuries of tradition
Encourages deep sweating for detox and skin cleansing
Improves circulation and supports heart health ❤️
Relieves stress and promotes better sleep 😴
A sociable experience to share with family and friends
Do you enjoy the ritual of pouring water over hot stones? 🌊🔥 A traditional sauna might be your perfect match.
Instead of heating the air, an infrared sauna warms your body directly using invisible light waves. The result is a more gentle heat (around 38–65 °C) that many people find easier to enjoy for longer sessions.
Softer, more comfortable warmth 🌡️
Excellent for muscle recovery, stiffness, and joint relief 💪
Boosts circulation and promotes glowing skin ✨
Energy-efficient and cheaper to run ⚡
Compact, modern, and easy to install at home 🏠
Would you prefer a gentler heat you can enjoy for 30+ minutes? ⏱️ An infrared sauna makes that possible.
