Welcome to Haar Sauna
We are currently situated at 60 degrees North on St. Ninians Beach in the stunning Shetland Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom.
​Our comfortable sauna can accommodate up to six people and features sauna-grade Alder timber benches for an authentic atmosphere. It's designed with locally sourced Scottish Redwood cladding on the interior and Aberdeenshire-grown Larch on the exterior, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings.
​The sauna stove is the nature-inspired HUUM wood-fired sauna stove from Estonia, which can reach temperatures of 70-90 degrees. Water meeting carefully selected Scottish granite rocks within the heater creates a unique sauna experience.
Embrace the outdoor sauna experience with open arms and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Scotland, and create guaranteed memories that will last a lifetime.
​Come join us and let Haar Sauna etch its deep heat sauna magic into your soul!
