About SaunaPass

SaunaPass is a UK directory for two things we love: a good sauna and a cold swim. We help you find them, see what they're actually like, and get out the door.

What you'll find

Saunas, banyas and bathhouses — from dedicated city sauna clubs to barrel saunas by the sea — alongside wild-swimming spots: lakes, rivers, tidal pools and designated bathing waters. Every sauna listing has its location and opening hours, and anyone who's been can add a community rating.

Where the data comes from

Venue details — address, opening hours, contact information — come mainly from each venue's own website and other public sources. We use Google Maps Platform to help find venues and check they still exist, but we don't store Google's content. Wild-swimming spots come from OpenStreetMap and the Environment Agency's designated bathing-water data, so the official spots are clearly marked.

A note on safety

Wild swimming carries real risks — cold-water shock, currents, tides and water quality. For swim spots we show official water-quality ratings, but they are not live and conditions change. Always check locally, never swim alone if you're unsure, and use your own judgement. SaunaPass is a discovery tool, not a guarantee of safety.
