We’re in the midst of a sauna boom in the UK. According to the British Sauna Society, the number of public saunas in Britain doubled from 45 to 90 between 2023 to 2024, with over 200 predicted to pop up by the end of 2025. With touted benefits including better circulation, deeper sleep and banishing stress, it’s good news that we’re all finally doing as the Finnish do. Of course, there are plenty of wonderful hotels with saunas to book wherever you please, but if sweating it out alongside strangers in the shared space isn’t for you, don’t fret. We’re seeing an increasing number of homestays on Airbnb with their own sauna cabins, so you can combine the perks of a sweat session with the privacy of a room for two. Below are our favourite Airbnbs with saunas in the UK to book now.
