Sharing the sauna

guideetiquette

A shared sauna works best when everyone gives a little attention to the people around them.

Wear swimwear and sit on a towel. Leave footwear outside the sauna, and use sandals when moving around the outdoor areas.

Let the host manage the stones, water and oils. Keep phones outside the sauna and respect other guests’ privacy.

Shower before using the shared plunge, and enter slowly. Give others room to use the facilities.

Keep conversation considerate and follow your host’s guidance during the rounds. If you feel unwell or need help, tell a member of staff.

For the full requirements, read our safety information and house rules.
