Sauna Etiquette

To ensure everyone has the best experience, we ask that all guests follow our sauna etiquette. Please bring a towel to sit on during your sauna session. It's important for hygiene and comfort—plus, it's part of the sauna culture! We kindly remind guests to be mindful of others by keeping noise to a minimum, as the sauna is a place to relax and unwind. Please also avoid pouring excessive water on the sauna stones, as it will affect the temperature and comfort of others. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping create a peaceful and enjoyable environment for all. Thank you!

Consider using the cold showers and plunge pools instead of sea swimming if your are in doubt and never swim during a weather warning!
