Sea Scrub Sauna Folkestone

Sea Scrub Sauna Folkestone is a sauna and cold-plunge spot with a proper coastal feel, rather than a hidden-in-a-gym setup. Reviews mention the Scandinavian sauna, hot tub, plunge pools and even the chance of a sea dip, plus special sessions like the Full Moon Ceremony and private shepherd’s hut hire. What stands out most is the setting and the people running it. Reviewers loved the sea views, the spacious sauna, and staff who were knowledgeable, welcoming and good at helping first-timers feel at ease. The hour booking is described as plenty of time, and one family-style group even finished with hot chocolate by the fire, which sounds civilised enough. The snag is that this is not really aimed at younger children, and there’s no evidence from the reviews of baby facilities or anything toddler-friendly. Seating could be better, with one reviewer wishing for more loungers or chairs, and the on-site food/drink offering is only clearly mentioned as hot chocolate. Worth knowing: the jacuzzi was out of action for one visit, though guests were told in advance and offered a reschedule.
