Last week we opened the doors to Eir Sauna, and it’s been amazing to see so many of you already coming down to experience it. If you haven’t heard yet - we’re a wood-fired barrel sauna right on the edge of Loch Long in Arrochar, with some of the best views of the Arrochar Alps you’ll find anywhere.
So, what’s it all about?
The Hot & Cold Ritual
It’s simple, really. You warm up in the sauna, then cool off in the loch, our plunge bath, or under the cold drench bucket. The contrast is what makes it special - it wakes you up, resets your body, and honestly leaves you feeling incredible.
People use sauna and cold plunge for loads of reasons: recovery after training, better sleep, stress relief, or just for the buzz of it. Whatever the reason, you’ll leave feeling better than when you arrived.
Why Come to Eir Sauna?
We’ve kept it as natural and simple as possible - a hand-built barrel sauna, heated by a real fire, with that unmistakable wood scent in the air. Through the big circular window you can see straight across Loch Long and into the mountains. It’s an experience you can’t get in a regular gym sauna.
Each booking gives you:
1 hour in the sauna
Access to the cold plunge, loch dip, and drench bucket
A proper reset surrounded by the Highlands
