SEA SCRUB SAUNA BRINGS BIGGEST SITE TO FOLKESTONE!
There’ s something about the British coast in winter that makes you feel properly alive. The wind off The Channel, salt in the air and that particular quality of light that only happens here in Kent. It’ s exactly the kind of weather that makes contrast therapy- the Nordic practice of moving between intense heat and bracing cold- feel less like wellness and more like coming home to yourself.
We’ ve been sitting on the news for months, but now we can finally say it: Folkestone is happening. This isn’ t just another site- this is Kent’ s largest beach spa, purpose-built from the ground up, with bespoke saunas being crafted in Scandinavia right now.
For years, our Margate, Whitstable and Macknade communities have been asking when we’ d bring this to Folkestone. Now a whole new stretch of coast gets to discover what they’ ve been experiencing- the full moon gatherings, the seasonal celebrations and the simple magic of wood-fired heat meeting cold water on a winter evening.
The Scandinavians have understood this for centuries. In Norway and Finland, sauna isn’ t a spa treatment, it’ s fundamental to how communities gather, how families connect and how individuals process the weight of their days. The heat opens you up. The cold brings you back. And the rhythm between them creates something you can’ t find anywhere else.
At our existing sites, we’ ve watched hundreds of people discover this. That first plunge into cold water after the sauna’ s heat isn’ t just exhilarating, it’ s a reset. Your nervous system wakes up, inflammation quietens down and mental chatter suddenly has nowhere to grip.
Folkestone will be all of this, amplified. Same wood-fired authenticity, same welcoming atmosphere, same belief that this experience shouldn’ t require a country club membership. Just bigger, bolder and ready to welcome more of you.
You don’ t need to wait, though. The saunas are fired up now, and frankly, January is one of the best times to start. See you soon!
