“We're so delighted to have Clach Mara Sauna visit Staxigoe harbour, just outside Wick. The sauna and sea dip was the absolute perfect way to start the day. Excellent set up and super clean. Please come back again soon!”

“What a beautiful sauna experience 🩵 it was amazing! ✨️The sauna is beautifully built, nice and hot, lots of essential oils to use if we wanted to. The big window overlooking the beach was incredible ✨️🌊 sea dips, or cold water rinses, and the hot sauna was such a rejuvenating experience. I cannot wait to go again!”
— Leanne, Thurso
“We visited the sauna while on holidays on the North Coast of Scotland. Incredible experience looking over the ocean. The hot and cold transitions were perfect therapy after quite a bit of driving. We were lucky enough to share the sauna with a group of local ladies who gave us a bunch of great tips and plenty of laughs. Congrats to Caorann and his team for their foresight and enterprise setting the business up. Massive thumbs up 👍🏽”
