About
Clach Mara is a hand-built, mobile wood-fired sauna that travels to coastal locations along Scotland's North Coast. Sessions accommodate 6–8 people and feature ocean views, wood-fired heat, and cold water immersion in the sea or from a bucket. Bookings are available for both communal and private groups year-round.
Good to know
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Mobile operator: the sauna travels, so the location is part of the booking. Check the current site before you arrive.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
- Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
