Our Story

Motts Sauna wasn’t born from a business plan, but from a yearning for a deeper connection with nature and a holistic approach to well-being. Captivated by the transformative power of wild saunas experienced on travels, we envisioned creating a similar sanctuary closer to home. This dream took root in the stunning southeast Cornwall, where the beauty of nature and the invigorating embrace of the sea intertwined perfectly.

Handcrafted saunas became the heart of our vision. We believe in the quality and authenticity these structures offer, ensuring a truly immersive experience. Sustainability is also at the core of our values. We source local, eco-friendly materials for our saunas and operate with a deep respect for the surrounding environment.

Ultimately, Motts Sauna is more than just a place to sweat. It’s an invitation to reconnect with yourself and the natural world. It’s a chance to unwind, revitalise, and emerge feeling renewed, both physically and mentally. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey.

When you come to one of our saunas you are not coming to consume something. You are coming to have an experience. To slow down. To tune in. To connect.

This experience is about being not doing. Its simple and authentic and nourishing. Come ready to unlock your own personal health and well being experience and have fun. Whatever is happening in your life the sauna and surrounding nature will support you.

Our Commitment

At Motts Sauna, we are dedicated to providing exceptional experiences that prioritize your well-being and respect for the environment. Here are some key aspects of our commitment:

  • Unwavering Quality: We believe handcrafted saunas built with sustainable materials offer an unparalleled experience. Our commitment to quality extends to every aspect of your visit, from the meticulously maintained saunas to exceptional customer service.
  • Sustainable Practices: We are deeply committed to operating in an eco-friendly manner. We source local materials for our saunas whenever possible and prioritise practices that minimise our environmental impact.
  • Unforgettable Experiences: Our focus is on creating a transformative journey for every guest. We strive to provide a clean, comfortable, and safe environment where you can truly disconnect and reconnect with nature.

 

By prioritising quality, sustainability, and unforgettable experiences, we aim to make Motts Sauna a sanctuary for your well-being and a haven for nature lovers.

Sweat it forward:
Sharing the Power of Wellness

At Motts Sauna, we believe the transformative power of wild saunas should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve launched our “Sweat it Forward” initiative, a program that allows you to pay it forward and offer the gift of well-being to someone in need.

Each month, we dedicate a limited number of sauna sessions at a reduced rate of £8. Through Sweat it Forward, you can sponsor one of these sessions, making a sauna experience possible for someone who may not otherwise be able to afford it due to financial constraints. By participating, you’re not only contributing to your own well-being when you visit Motts Sauna, but also fostering community wellness and inclusivity.

We encourage you to consider “Sweat it Forward” if you’d like to extend the benefits of a wild sauna experience to someone else.

Jess and Jo run the most fantastic sauna experience, located in the tranquil Mount Edgcumbe estate nestled between the sea and a 500 acre nature reserve. It’s the best place to unwind, relax and do yoga, sea swimming and saunering. I highly recommend giving it a go!
A beautiful sauna experience in the stunning surroundings of mt edgecombe country park. Jess makes the experience welcoming, fun and friendly
I can't get enough, my weekly treat! Lovely hosts, beautiful woodland setting in Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, stunning Plymouth Sound views from sauna picture window and the sea just a few steps from the sauna deck - the perfect way to heat up and cool down 😊

Motts sauna is the perfect place to relax and take yourself out of the everyday bustle of a busy life, nestled in beautiful surroundings, a short walk and I’m in heaven, sauna and swimming are the perfect combo for me whether it be a cold blowy day or even a balmy summer day, this is a treat that doesn’t hurt your bank balance and definitely helps your soul ☺️
I grew up in Finland and the sauna culture is the one thing I have always missed so I absolutely love having this wood-fired little gem nearby in such a beautiful location! A hot sauna with cold dips in the sea in between is the perfect way to relax, recover and recharge - something I look forward to every week 🙂
