Luxury cottages with saunas
Step from a bracing ocean dip into the enveloping warmth of a private sauna as you take in views of rugged coastlines or rolling countryside. Our collection of luxury cottages with saunas offers spaces designed for deep relaxation, where the ancient ritual of heat therapy allows you to pause, breathe, and recharge.
Believed to date back over 2,000 years, the Finnish tradition of sauna bathing is a ritual of heat and renewal – one that soothes tired muscles, detoxifies the body, and alleviates stress. The contrast between the dry warmth of a sauna and the bracing boost of a cold plunge, whether in the sea or an outdoor pool, is said to stimulate circulation, boost the immune system, and promote a holistic sense of well-being. In a world that moves at an ever-faster pace, the simple act of stepping into the heat, slowing your breath, and allowing warmth to seep in your muscles offers a rare moment of tranquillity.
Our collection of homestays with saunas spans the UK, placing wellness at its core, from contemporary coastal hideaways to off-grid woodland hideouts. Among the treetops of the Scottish Borders, a design-led home in Melrose pairs a sleek sauna with a hot tub and mini gym. Meanwhile, in Hampshire, nestled between the New Forest and the coastal town of Lymington, a luxury cabin boasts a handcrafted sauna and outdoor bathtub. Whether you're seeking a romantic bolthole for two or a secluded escape for a larger gathering, these sanctuaries are designed for slow living and ultimate relaxation.
