About
A trio of mobile wood-fired saunas that rotate between beaches and bays across Lewis, Harris, Berneray and North Uist. Each has an ocean view; one called Mara is most often parked at Bayble Beach east of Stornoway.
Good to know
- 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.
- 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.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
- 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.
