About this sauna
Rvival Sauna sits on the shore of Loch Voil, at the western end of the loch within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. It’s part of the Monachyle Mhor estate, a 2,000-acre working farm with direct access to the water. The sauna itself has a large window looking straight out over Loch Voil, with the hills of Balquhidder glen rising beyond it.
Loch Doine sits just to the west, connected to Loch Voil by a short channel, and both are visible from parts of the estate.
