Octopus Sauna

Welcome to Octopus Sauna, a wood-fired sauna in St Leonards-on-Sea, created to bring people together through the simple joy of heat, cold water and good company. Based at The Compound on Bexhill Road, we're building a welcoming, community-led space where you can switch off from screens, slow down and feel good. Whether you're a regular sauna-goer or completely new to it, come on your own, bring a friend or meet someone new along the way. No experience needed, just come as you are. Our sauna sessions Choose from 60-minute and 90-minute open sauna sessions, giving you time to enjoy the heat, cool off in our cold plunge tubs or cold shower, and take things at your own pace. Our wood-fired sauna offers a traditional, natural sauna experience, with the option to move between hot and cold, rest and repeat as you feel comfortable. We’ll also be offering special experiences, including guided sauna rituals, leaf-whisking sessions and social sauna events, bringing a little extra atmosphere, connection and playfulness to the experience. A sauna for everyone Octopus Sauna is about more than getting hot. It's about creating an accessible, down-to-earth space where people can take a break from everyday life, look after themselves and connect with others. Whether you're coming to unwind after a busy week, recover after a sea swim, try something new or simply enjoy a bit of time to yourself, there's a place for you here. We're passionate about making sauna culture welcoming rather than intimidating, with community at the heart of what we do.
