About

A lochside spa at Taymouth Marina, with a wood-fired sauna, steam room and heated outdoor pool. The cold plunge pool is fed from Loch Tay. The same operator runs HotBoat, Scotland's first floating sauna, which cruises the loch from the jetty out front.

Good to know

  • Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
  • Hot tub on site: adds a warm-water option between the sauna and the cold plunge for a longer cycle.
  • Direct lake access: most visitors plunge straight into the water between sauna rounds.
  • Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
  • Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
  • Bar on premises: drinks alongside (or after) the session, and the venue isn't dry like most outdoor sauna setups.
  • Restaurant on site, so long sessions are the design. Food is part of the visit rather than a stop on the way home.
  • Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
  • Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
