About this sauna
Set beside the tidal pool at Cellardyke in the East Neuk of Fife, this seaside sauna offers a quiet, off-grid escape by the water. Positioned to face directly out to sea, its large glass window frames open views across the coastline towards the Isle of May.
Housed in a converted horse trailer and lined with light-toned alder, the sauna is simple and considered in its design. Inside, the focus is on heat, light, and the shifting conditions outside, from calm summer evenings to darker winter sessions lit by the stove.
Located next to one of the area’s most iconic tidal pools, the experience naturally centres around moving between sauna and cold water, with time to slow down and reset by the sea.
