There was something truly extraordinary about the 2025 Summer Solstice… so much so that we’re already planning for 2026!
St Andrews Seaside Sauna
The custom-designed St Andrews Seaside Sauna looks out across the stunning St Andrews Bay, providing a unique coastal experience whatever the time of year or weather. This serene retreat offers uninterrupted sea views — a peaceful space to pause, reflect and unwind.
Crafted with light-toned alder wood, the interior glows with warmth and calm. In summer, the sauna becomes a bright and uplifting space, enhancing the long, golden hours of a Scottish summer’s day.
