About this sauna
Set on a grassy bank beside the beach in Lower Largo, Largo Castaway Sauna is a wood-fired coastal sauna just a short walk from the shoreline.
It is quiet and tucked away, with small groups and a simple setup that keeps the focus on the sauna, the sea, and the surroundings.
Right beside the beach, it’s the kind of place where you can fully switch off and just be by the sea.
This is where I tried my first wild sauna, and it couldn’t have been a better place to start.
