A small group of sauna lovers with roots in Scandinavia and the UK, writing plain, source-checked guides to saunas in the UK.
We grew up with saunas in Scandinavia and the UK and care about doing them properly: good heat, good timber, cold water after. Every guide is written from named sources, checked against the data on this site and reviewed before it goes live. We never accept payment to change what we recommend. Corrections and tips: hello@zauna.co.uk.
