How it works
The operator publishes a wood-fired sauna in a converted horsebox, built in summer 2025, on Bigbury beach, with Burgh Island on one side and Bantham on the other. It opens all year Friday to Sunday, with extra hours in the holidays, and may move or close for high tides or storms. Sessions last 50 minutes and must be booked online; the sauna runs at 70-90°C. Swimwear or a towel wrap is asked for. The operator has also opened a sauna at Hope Cove.
Shared 50-minute sessions booked online.
