The Secret Sauna

COMING SUMMER 2026 - THE SECRET SAUNA, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BALANCED HORIZON

Step from a wood-fired sauna directly into the North Sea. The Secret Sauna sits on Seacliff Beach, a private sandy bay on the East Lothian coast, sheltered by red sandstone cliffs and looking out across the Forth toward the Bass Rock, Tantallon Castle, and Fidra. The sauna is operated by Balanced Horizon, the Scottish environmental charity delivering source-to-sea restoration across Scotland's marine, coastal, and terrestrial landscapes, with BYRE Wellness as operating partner.

Sessions follow the same simple pattern as our other locations. Fifty-five minutes of heat in a clean, considered wood-fired sauna, with cold exposure straight off the beach and quiet time outside between rounds. Open sessions are bookable as individual seats - join a small group, meet other coastal regulars, and make the heat-and-cold ritual a regular rhythm.

All proceeds at The Secret Sauna support Balanced Horizon's work restoring Scotland's coastal habitats. When you book a sauna here, you are helping fund the Forth Marine Hatchery, the Scottish Coastal Clean Up, and the Muir to Forth project. Wellness in the place, by the people, for the place.
