About this sauna
Located at Lost Shore Surf Resort, Spear Sauna is a wood-fired sauna overlooking the surf cove within Europe’s largest inland surf resort.
The sauna has a more social atmosphere than many smaller standalone saunas, with surfers, swimmers and resort guests often nearby throughout the day.
Waterfall buckets are available for cooling down between rounds, while the wider resort setting gives the whole experience a more modern feel than some off-grid coastal saunas.
