The UK's sauna scene has arrived quickly and with force. A wave of barrel, floating, and outdoor saunas has landed on coastlines, canals, and lido circuits from Cornwall to the Cairngorms, sitting alongside bathhouse traditions that never quite went away. Most venues are bookable by the session, cold plunges are close to standard, and the bar for löyly keeps climbing year on year.
