About
Orka Sauna sits on Station Road at Burghead, on the Moray Firth. The stove is a Narvi Stony, handmade in Finland, and the cold side of the cycle is the North Sea. Book a public session or take the whole sauna privately.
Good to know
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
