Sea and Steam sauna Saundersfoot makes Sunday Times top 20
Sea and Steam mobile sauna in Saundersfoot has been listed in a list of the UK's 20 best wild saunas, published this weekend in the Sunday Times.
The Sunday Times highlights Sea and Steam as being 'one of the few saunas in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park to have a permanent site', and praises its 'large viewing window providing beautiful views of the sea' as well as its commitment to sustainability.

Sea and Steam supports local biodiversity projects in Saundersfoot Harbour. The sauna's lighting is solar powered and it uses locally sourced wood, with the ash being put to good use in the nearby community sensory garden.

By day, Bryony works with schools across Pembrokeshire taking children into the outdoors. Kerry is a mum of two, who has worked as a chef on super yachts and recognises that small details can make a big difference.
The pair met at a wellbeing event and the spark of an idea that became Sea and Steam was ignited.

'The sauna brings people together and seeing how much people enjoy and feel the benefits mentally and physically from the heat and blue therapy is massively rewarding.
Sea and Steam offers a 25 or 50 minute session for up to six people to try a sauna, soak up the heat, embrace the benefits, all while connecting with nature and enjoying the view.

'As locals living in the village and having swum in the sea here for years it's amazing to now have a sauna business here to complement that and to share this experience with so many other people.
'Little did we think our little sauna by the sea would have such lasting effects and end up in The Times.'
