Beach front sauna hosting pop-up event in Eastbourne

Several companies running saunas in Brighton, Worthing and Shoreham have proved a success.

And now there will be a pop-up experience for one day in Eastbourne in partnership with Port Hotel in Royal Parade.

People looking for a bit of rest and relaxation are invited to the event on Sunday, November 6.

Zoya Jordan, spokeswoman for Samphire Sauna, said: “Working with Port feels like a very natural step for us as they are also extremely interested in forging a close link with the sea.

“It has been our intention since we first started planning our sauna more than two years ago to be positioned on the beach.

“There is just something very special about sitting in a wooden sauna cabin, with heat radiating from a wood-fired stove, and then when you're hot enough, running into the cold sea spray only a few metres away to cool off - it's completely elemental and exhilarating.

“We're delighted to be bringing the Samphire Sauna experience to both Port guests and to the wider Eastbourne community to one of our natural habitats - the glorious coast of East Sussex.”

The sauna event, which accommodates up to five people, costs £10 for 30 minutes and £18 for one hour.

People can also enjoy a post-sauna brunch at Port for an extra £16 per person.

The event will run from 10am to 3pm.

The heat and cold water therapy is said to help with repairing muscles, release lactic acid build up, as well as improve blood circulation in the body.

People attending should bring swimming gear, two towels, a water bottle and flip flops to get to and from the beach.

Children above seven are allowed to use the sauna but must be accompanied by one adult.
