about the sauna haus
The Sauna Haus was founded in 2020 by Sarah Higgins. As one of the first saunas to pop-up along the South West Coast, the 'Seaside Sauna Haus' brought with it a small sauna revolution in the town of Bridport and surrounding areas. A revolution that would spread across the nation in years to come.
In 2026, we were very fortunate to be able to open a second location at Coppet Hill near Broadoak, surrounded by green, and a different kind of landscape.
Both saunas continue to bring people from all walks of life together and celebrate this gentle but meaningful practice, with wellbeing and community at the heart.
what to expect
It's best to arrive 10 minutes before your sauna is due to begin. You can arrive in your bathing suit, change outside, or inside in our small changing room. The temperature of the sauna varies depending on the day, but we don't like to keep our sauna burning too hot- it's usually around 70°C. Bring a towel into the sauna to sit on and choose a spot- the higher bench is hotter. Listen to your body and leave the sauna when you feel it's time, without feeling pressured to stay longer than your comfortable with. You're encouraged to step outside for a breath of fresh air and to rehydrate whenever needed. Buckets of cold water are available for cooling down and you can also take a refreshing dip in the sea, lie in the tide, on the pebbles, or simply enjoy the cooler air outside. Take your time and move at your own pace, and remember not to overdo it. Balance is key for the best experience and to ensure you feel revitalised!
