Betwixmas plans sorted: relax, reconnect & reflect with a festive sauna

This Betwixmas (that wonderfully hazy stretch between Christmas and New Year when no one quite knows what day it is), step away from the sofa and make time for yourself. Swap the festive slump for soothing sauna heat, fresh sea air and the invigorating rush of cold water at a Sussex sauna.

Why visit a Sussex Sauna?

With benefits including reducing stress, enhancing muscle relaxation, and encouraging some dedicated time to slow down (either by yourself, or with a loved one), a sauna session during the Christmas holidays is the perfect antidote to one of the busiest times of the year. 

From cosy, soul-soothing heat and sweeping sea and nature views to the invigorating thrill of a cold plunge, a trip to one of the Luna Saunas in Sussex offer a refreshing alternative to another afternoon curled up watching re-runs of Christmas specials.

Here are four Sussex saunas that will be open throughout Christmas, ready to rescue you from festive overwhelm.

Whether you’re local to Eastbourne or visiting the seaside for a blowy boxing day walk, Luna Hut in Eastbourne (perched on the town’s grand Victorian seafront) provides the perfect escape. Sink into the cosy heat of the wood-fired sauna, then brave an icy plunge or a cold water shower. Warm up in the beach hut changing rooms, then enjoy the relaxed beachfront chill-out zone for quiet chats, deep exhales or that dreamy post-sauna glow.
