About this sauna

Largo Castaway Sauna is set on a grassy bank beside the beach in Lower Largo, it is a wood-fired coastal sauna positioned just above the shoreline with open views across the sea.

The sauna has a quiet, tucked-away feel, with small-group sessions and a simple outdoor setup beside the beach.

Positioned only a short walk from the water, the setting feels calmer and less busy than some of the larger seaside sauna locations nearby.

This is where I tried my first wild sauna, and it couldn’t have been a better place to start.

Before you go

If you’re new to wild saunas, these quick answers might help

Do you have to go in the water?

No — you can enjoy the sauna on its own.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes — you can move between the sauna, the water and breaks outside at your own pace.

From my visit

How close is the sauna to the sea?

The beach is only a short walk from the sauna, although the distance to the water changes with the tide. At higher tide it’s very close by, while lower tide means more of a walk across the sand for sea dips.

Are there any other cold water options?

Yes — there’s a cold bath beside the sauna, along with watering cans for cooling down between rounds.

Is this a good sauna to try for the first time?

Yes — the quieter setting, easy beach access and relaxed atmosphere make it feel approachable, even if you’re new to sauna and sea swimming.
