Haar Sauna  Reviews 76

Brilliant experience, fantastic set up, enhanced by the location at Skeld marina in Shetland. The guy running it was very helpful and the sauna was so lovely inside with big scenic windows and a very clean ice bath outside. I would definitely recommend the Haar sauna to all.

HAAR SAUNA SHETLAND. Great to get a sauna on such a beautiful spot, going between the sauna and the sea was really good.
I will be back at some point.
Thank you for such a great experience.

The sauna is not warm enough in my opinion, maybe 50-55 degrees. The floor should be more tight. The wind blows through the floor. I think maybe the firewood is not dry enough. In this kind of small sauna it should easely become 70 degrees.When you throw water on the stones they cool down very easily. So...better firewood, tight floor. There should be a WC nearby. Anyhow , the place is spectaculare. The staff is kindly. I recommend the place. :

An excellent sauna! On a hiking holiday with three friends it was just me who signed up for the midday community sauna - to find four in total booked for the hour - two guys and two girls. Great to meet other visitors and local Shetlanders too. The sea was invigorating. Wonderful! Thank you very much!

Absolutely recommend it !
The owners were kind, welcoming and great to have a chat with ! The saunas are in great shape, the sea is just a few meters away. A perfect relaxation for anyone !

Friendly staff. The sauna was hot and the swim was in crystal clear water. Only slight negative, it's missing a window for the lovely view. A great experience 😀

We stayed with friends just up the road from Haar Sauna.We decided to book it on the day we were leaving to go back to Glasgow.
What a wonderful experience and we can't wait to go back.Louise gave us all the necessary information to make our experience safe and enjoyable.Louise is so friendly and helpful and is a great asset to the company.
We will be back very soon.

I attended the Summer Solstice Sunrise yoga . The session which consisted of yoga on the beach beneath the sun , sauna scented with Sage and frolicking in the waves was simply amazing . The welcome and care received from all the people involved in running the session and those participating was wonderful. I am here on holiday , went alone and came away having made friends and really hopeful I will be able to return again . Thank 🥰

Fab experience. Nothing was too much hassle. It’s my third time going and it won’t be my last!

My wife and I had an amazing Aufguss experience at Haar a week or so ago. The location of the sauna is absolutely stunning and doesn't detract from or despoil the natural beauty of the beach. There are two separate saunas which provide different experiences which makes it all the more interesting. One more like a traditional Finnish Sauna and one more like a Bania.

Callum was amazing at making the experience so special for all the people involved. We had previously attended multiple similar sessions in Norway, but none as good or as spiritual as this one. From providing guidance on breathing and posture, smelling different burning woods and essential oils, along with the use of natural herbs to infuse the water. In our case this use of natural bundles of herbs and also the use of peat on the skin was fun and made for a very immersive and spiritual experience.

Between sessions we bathed in the cool water of the sea on the Atlantic side which provided relief and was stimulating and energising. During the later sessions the Sun was setting providing an incredible backdrop which was an emotional end to the amazing experience. That evening we slept like babies and didn't get up until 10.45 AM !

Cant wait to get back to Haar on our return trip, and cannot recommend this experience enough to anyone travelling to Shetland. Make sure you book up some sessions and don't miss out on what was a major highlight for my wife and I.

@Haar, keep up the great work and look forward to visiting you again soon !

Fabulous experience. Highly recommend this place. Location just stunning, it’s a lot of fun and the advice & support excellent. A must do if visiting Shetland!

Beautiful sauna, in a stunning location, with caring & friendly assistance. A proper tick on my bucket list!!

Good company in the sauna and great weather. The sauna was very hot inside and great opportunity to relax!

Such a friendly atmosphere and a great giggle such a great business

We had a wonderful time splashing in the crystal clear waters of the St Ninians beach tombolo and then warming up and relaxing in the Haar Sauna.
Alex and his trusty canine friend Arthur were brilliant hosts!
Highly recommend!

Amazing hour at the Brae location, the ice bath was great for in between I won this in a competition and I’ll for sure be going back again thanks so much

The sauna is in the most beautiful location, next to the dunes on the edge of St. Ninian's beach. The combination with wild swimming was fantastic. The staff was very welcoming.

Super sauna! The magic of the sea at St Ninians and the dunk at Brae are both fantastic!
Friendliest staff! Such a treat to have access to 😊

Sauna on St Ninians Beach was a wonderful experience. The location has awesome veiws of waves rolling in both sides of the beach . Plenty sea birds dipping in for their catch and I was always on the watch for a seal or whale . The beach is kept so tidy and debris free it’s a pleasure to walk along . Sunrises and sunsets are a golden asset to the location .
The staff at Haar Sauna are so friendly and welcoming . I was very impressed by their health and safety brief before enjoying the experience. This made me feel safe using the sauna . It is a joyful experience which makes you feel relaxed and calm and also have a great sleep that night!

My husband and I had an unforgettable experience at the Haar sauna at St Ninians Isle. We visited on 29th December 2024 when we were in Shetland visiting family. We originally booked the 28th which ended up clashing with a family event. We contacted the customer service team 10 days prior who responded quickly and were able to move our booking.

It was cold and windy and to be honest when we walked down the road we were dreading it. We were welcomed by a cheery host. We were instantly inspired by others braving the crashing waves. We went in the sea first then rushed to the sauna to start our session. Very cosy. Plenty of room. There were 6 of us in the community session. We felt that the session was good value for money. We braved 3 cold dips in total with plenty of warming up time in the sauna in between. Very cosy. Highly recommend a visit to the sauna!!
