Penarth is about to welcome a brand new wellness experience on the water, as Sauna Flô prepares to launch South Wales’ first ever floating sauna. Set within Penarth Marina, this new addition will bring heat, cold, calm and community together in one very scenic spot.
Sauna Flô will offer a traditional wood fired sauna paired with ice baths, giving guests the full contrast therapy experience right on the water. For anyone trying to boost circulation, lift their mood or simply reset after a long week, it’s a simple but powerful combination. Visitors will also have access to Penarth Marina’s showers and changing rooms, making it easy to dip in and out during a session.
But the vision for Sauna Flô goes further than wellness. The team want it to become a space where people can meet, unwind and connect. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, the floating sauna aims to create a warm and relaxed community feel, somewhere to take time out and enjoy something a bit different on the coast.
They’ll also be working with partners to host special sessions throughout the year. Expect women’s health events, wellbeing workshops and community led activities that focus on connection as much as relaxation. The space will also be available for private hire, making it ideal for small groups, celebrations or anyone looking for a more bespoke wellness outing.
With the views, the heat, the cold plunge and the calm of Penarth Marina, Sauna Flô is shaping up to be a standout new addition to the local wellbeing scene. More details, including opening dates and booking info, are expected soon.
