Wellfest downderry

Come and experience Motts wood fired sauna during Wellfest on the 13th and 14th of september. We would love to share the healing power of heat and cold with you. 

With rounds of steamy sauna and cold plunge in our tub or in the sea at Downderry beach, you will feel the stresses and strains of life melt away as you connect to yourself, your friends and nature. 
You can sign up for a half hour, one hour session. Or you could try one of our mini ritual sessions, where we will explore plants in the sauna, use scrubs and facemasks, and we will guide you to go deeper into the healing power of sauna. There are only 16 places for these for the whole weekend so book in soon to enjoy this special sauna experience.
 
We can’t wait to be back in Downderry for Wellfest to share what we love with you!

The Sauna

Our handcrafted wood-fired sauna comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests, offering ample space to relax and unwind. Inside, the natural wood walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while large windows allow you to soak in the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

The Experience

Embrace the invigorating wild sauna cycle. Begin by stepping into the wood-fired sauna, where temperatures typically reach a comfortable range of 70-90 degrees. Allow the heat to gently work its magic, releasing tension and promoting deep relaxation. Once fully warmed, take a refreshing plunge in the nearby sea. This invigorating contrast will leave you feeling rejuvenated and revitalised. Finally, retreat to our designated relaxation area, where you can unwind on comfortable chairs and soak in the serenity of nature.

What to expect

At Motts, we prioritise an experience that gets you straight to the heart of the wild sauna experience. While we don’t have dedicated changing facilities on-site, the natural beauty surrounding the sauna provides a unique and tranquil setting. We have hooks and boxes for your belongings (to be used at your discretion, although these will be safe as the sauna host is always around!) Please bring: swimwear, towel, plenty of drinking water and, if you plan to swim, we recommend plastic shoes as the beach is quite rocky.
