Rob and Josie da Bank, who started the Bestival festival, run this Slomo site on The Point at Bembridge, a beach at the mouth of the harbour looking across to Southsea. There’s one wood-fired sauna for up to seven on private hire and an ice bath, and the sea is there for a swim. It opened as a summer pop-up in 2025 and has stayed on. There are no changing rooms, so arrive ready.
