I believe all saunas can be healing sanctuaries. The heat lifts your spirits mentally and emotionally as well as being incredibly nourishing for your soul.
Sauna bathing has been celebrated for centuries as one of the most powerful ways to restore body, mind, and spirit. The heat itself brings deep relaxation, supports detoxification, boosts circulation, relieves stress, and leaves you glowing from the inside out. But here at The Little Heat Retreat, the benefits go far beyond the sauna alone — because the magic really happens in the experience.
Whether you’re gathering with friends for a birthday, marking a milestone, or celebrating a hen party, sauna is becoming the new way to socialise. Forget the pub, as we’re remembering how to connect without alcohol, without noise, and without distractions. Instead, we come together in the gentle embrace of heat, nature, and ritual. When we sweat side by side, something opens up: we drop our masks, show up as our authentic selves, and conversations naturally run deeper.
At The Little Heat Retreat, your sauna experience can be elevated with sound healing or therapeutic massage, amplifying the heat’s healing effects through vibration and touch. Imagine sinking into a sound healing journey with Tibetan singing bowls reverberating through your body after sauna or having a soothing massage that melts away tension. These pairings bring balance on every level: physical, emotional, and energetic.
Sauna is not only a tonic for your nervous system, but also for your skin. Heat boosts circulation, flushes toxins, and leaves your complexion radiant. Paired with one of our organic clay face masks or exfoliating body scrubs, the sauna becomes a spa-like ritual that smooths, softens, and nourishes your skin while you relax.
Sauna alone is healing, but sauna together is magical. Gathering in the warmth, supported by fire, water, and air, we connect in a way modern life rarely allows. This is a return to ancient rhythms, where community and ritual were part of daily life. Here, laughter, sharing, and deep conversation flow as freely as the steam.
There is so much more to sauna than simply reducing stress. At The Little Heat Retreat, every element, from the fire pit and garden, to sound, touch, and skincare, has been carefully woven together to create an experience that is as nourishing for your soul as it is for your body.

The heat and sweating associated with sauna help improve skin health by opening up pores, increasing blood flow, and promoting a brighter and healthier complexion.
