Farndon — What to Expect
An immersive Nordic sauna experience overlooking the Welsh hills
Suda Sauna is a wood-fired Nordic sauna experience located beside Aptitude Gym in Farndon, with sunset views across the Welsh mountains and surrounding countryside.
Community sessions are relaxed, social, and open to everyone — whether it’s your first sauna or part of your regular routine.
Expect heat, fresh air, good conversation, exceptional views and a chance to slow down and reconnect.
We host a mixture of:
mixed community sauna
silent sauna
female-only sauna
ambient sauna
disco sauna
guided rituals & experiences
Open Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Your Session
Each session lasts 75 minutes.
During your session you can move freely between:
The wood-fired sauna
The cold plunge tanks
The cold shower
The outdoor seating area to cool down and rest
Most people cycle between heat, cold, and fresh air several times during the session.
There’s no pressure to follow a strict routine — just listen to your body.
Facilities
Our new Farndon site includes access to:
changing rooms & lockers
warm showers
toilets
on-site parking
café access via Aptitude Gym
The sauna space itself is intentionally tucked away to create a more private and immersive experience.
What to Bring
To make the most of your session, we recommend bringing:
• A towel to sit on in the sauna
• Swimwear
• Flip flops or sandals
• A water bottle
• A second towel for drying off
Sauna Etiquette
To keep the space comfortable and welcoming for everyone:
always sit on a towel inside the sauna
rinse before entering cold plunges
be mindful of others sharing the space
take breaks whenever needed
listen to your body at all times
This is a relaxed community space built around respect, presence and shared experience.
First Time?
If it’s your first sauna, a simple approach works well:
Start with roughly 10-30 minutes in the sauna
Cool down outside or with a cold plunge (roughly 1-5 minutes)
Rest for a few minutes
Repeat a few times during your session
Everyone’s tolerance is different — go at your own pace.
Community Sauna
Alongside our regular sauna sessions, we’ll also be introducing more guided sauna experiences, including:
aufguss ceremonies
guided contrast therapy
breathwork sessions
scent and aroma rituals
seasonal wellness events
Our aim is to create a welcoming space where people can unwind, reconnect, and experience the benefits of sauna, cold water immersion and contrast therapy in a relaxed outdoor setting.
No alcohol or drug use is permitted anywhere on site. Anyone arriving intoxicated will be refused entry and politely asked to leave.
