Our sauna is open to anyone aged 16 and over. We recommend that individuals with underlying health conditions or those who are pregnant consult with their doctor before using the sauna. It's important to listen to your body, take regular breaks, and stay hydrated. Please note that alcohol is not permitted in the sauna, and we reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who appears intoxicated. You will need to read and sign our waiver form before booking a session.

Two Towels: Bring one small towel to sit on inside the sauna and another larger towel for drying off afterward. Water Bottle: Stay hydrated throughout your session by bringing a water bottle. Swimwear: It's recommended to wear swimwear upon arrival for a comfortable experience. Please note, nudity is not permitted in our saunas. Changing Robe: A changing robe will facilitate easy changing before and after your session, and enhance your sauna experience. Suitable Footwear: Flip flops or sandals are advisable for easy changing. Kindly leave all footwear outside or in the designated changing area. Minimal Belongings: Due to limited space, please bring only essential items for your session.

Due to limited space, we recommend bringing minimal personal belongings with you. Upon entering the sauna, there is a small area where you can leave bags and belongings. Please note that The Bayside Sauna takes no responsibility for any damage or loss to clients' property left in this area.

We provide a small changing room as you enter the sauna, which also includes an area for you to leave your belongings. To optimize your experience, we recommend arriving with your swimwear on and being prepared to change afterwards with a towel or robe for privacy. Adjacent to the sauna, there is a sheltered public hut that offers additional privacy if needed. Please note that all our experiences include time for changing. If you plan to use the changing room towards the end of your session, we kindly ask that you respect the next booking and complete your change within your allocated time slot.

To fully experience the benefits of hot-cold exposure, we recommend spending 10-15 minutes in the sauna, followed by a dip in the sea or a refreshing beach-side splash—and feel free to repeat this cycle as many times as you like during your session. For an authentic sauna experience, you can control the heat and intensity by gently pouring water onto the stove's rocks until reaching your desired level of heat. Please remember to pour the water gently and avoid dumping it directly onto the rocks to ensure a safe and enjoyable sauna experience.

You can book our sauna for private or communal experiences up to 4 weeks in advance. Time slots become available exactly at the designated time on the booking day. For example, if you want to reserve an 8am slot on a Sunday, it opens for booking exactly 4 weeks earlier at 8am on that Sunday. To book, visit our online system and select your desired experience to view available time slots on booking the calendar. If you have trouble selecting a time slot, it may be because: The date or time is not yet open for booking. The slot is reserved for a weekly communal sauna or an event. We are fully booked or closed on that specific date. For communal bookings, use the drop-down menu to select the number of participants. If only one spot is left, it will be clearly indicated. Our booking calendar adjusts in real-time based on daily reservations. This means time slots may shift depending on whether previous sessions were booked for 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. For example, if the 8am slot is booked for a 30-minute session, the next slot starts at 8:30am. If it's booked for a 60-minute session, the following slot begins at 9:00am. This flexibility ensures smooth scheduling for different session lengths.

Our cancellation policy is designed to accommodate changes in plans while ensuring fairness to all guests. Here are the details: Cancellation Period: You can cancel or reschedule your booking up to 48 hours before your scheduled session. Refunds: Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds or reschedule appointments with less than 48 hours notice. No Shows: If you do not attend your booked session without prior cancellation, no refund or rescheduling will be possible. How to Cancel/Reschedule: Please contact us at least 48 hours before your scheduled session if you need to cancel or reschedule.
