Dorset Sauna Monthly November 2025

Editor’s Introduction

As the dusk draws in a little earlier and the air carries the crisp salt of our coastline, November in Dorset invites us to slow down, warm up, and reconnect. Whether it’s the steam rising from a wood-fired sauna beneath the trees or the quiet hush of a full-moon sea dip on the Purbeck coast, there is a crafted alchemy here — of hearth and horizon, of body and stillness.

At Dorset Sauna, we lean into that atmosphere: bold in wellness, rooted in Dorset’s craftsmanship, and framed by the wild elegance of our shorelines and forests.

This month, we invite you to explore a curated collection of wellness happenings across the county — from forest saunas and open-water dips to yoga retreats and breath-work workshops. Then, discover our Venue Spotlight, a sanctuary that captures the warmth and calm of Dorset’s natural spirit.

Venue Spotlight — The Forest Sauna

Nestled deep in the hush of Wareham Forest, The Forest Sauna is a crafted sanctuary of fire, steam and elemental calm. Walk through amber-lit trees, breathe in the pine, and arrive at a wood-fired sauna clearing where the heat rises and the outside world melts away. A cold plunge and jungle shower await — a crisp contrast that renews both body and mind.

This is a hidden chapter of Dorset’s wellness story: rustic in its wood-smoke and forest floor, yet premium in its attention to detail. The team host private sauna sessions, “Sauna & Breakfast” mornings, and “Fire-Circle” evenings — all designed with that rare blend of luxury and wildness.

📍 Location: Wareham Forest, Dorset
🧖‍♀️ Services: Private sauna sessions, cold plunge, jungle shower, plant-based breakfast & supper options, group bookings
🌲 Feeling: Deep-forest twilight meets soft fire-light — a retreat from screens, schedules and the everyday.

Closing Note

As the leaves soften in colour and the evenings draw longer, now is the moment for stillness, warmth, and connection — with body, nature and community. We hope you’ll take your pick from this month’s events, and allow yourself a true pause: a fire-lit sauna, a crisp sea dip, a forest walk with purpose and presence.

Thank you for being part of the Dorset Sauna community. May your November be filled with steam, sea-salt, and the kind of calm that lingers long after you step out of the sauna.

Warmly,
The Dorset Sauna Team
— grounded in craft, coast & calm.
