Welcome to Haar Sauna
Our mission is to connect people with nature and enhance wellbeing through the power of deep heat.
​
We are situated at 60 degrees North on St. Ninians Beach in the stunning Shetland Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom. In addition, we are coming soon to Scapa Beach, Orkney Islands.
​
​Our original sauna can accommodate up to 6 people and features sauna-grade Alder timber benches for an authentic atmosphere. It's designed with locally sourced Scottish Redwood cladding on the interior and Aberdeenshire-grown Larch on the exterior, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings. ​The sauna stove is the nature-inspired HUUM wood-fired sauna stove from Estonia, which can reach temperatures of 70-90 degrees. Water meeting carefully selected Scottish granite rocks within the heater creates a unique sauna experience.
​
Haar Sauna 2.0 is designed to host up to 8 people, this sauna’s interior walls are lined with Thermal Aspen and the exterior is painted with Ocean Blue harmonising with the surrounding landscape. The sauna is equipped with a NARVI black 0 external fed stove, capable of reaching temperatures between 80-100 degrees Celsius. The aspen benches are higher than the stove, creating a unique and invigorating löyly sauna experience as water vaporises on contact with the stones.
Embrace the outdoor sauna experience with open arms and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Shetland and Orkney, and create guaranteed memories that will last a lifetime.

​Come join us and let Haar Sauna etch the power of deep heat magic, into your soul!
