A wood-fired sauna on a wooded bank of the River Esk near Ruswarp, where you step off a deck into the river
Save this place
Whitby Wellbeing’s river sauna is tucked among tall trees on the Esk, about five minutes south of Whitby, and the exact spot comes with your booking. From the sauna you step onto a wooden deck and into the river, which is waist to shoulder deep here, and the team shows you the safe places to get in and out. Sessions run from Thursday to Sunday, with longer ones on Saturdays.
