Welcome...
Welcome to "Tuhka Talo" (translated ash house in Finnish), your go-to destination for an authentic wood-fired sauna experience in Hampshire.
Immerse yourself in the deeply restorative tradition of contrast therapy, where the soothing warmth of a sauna is paired with the invigorating chill of a cold-water plunge, to enhance your health and well-being.
​
We have two handcrafted traditional wood-fired saunas that are uniquely situated in serene, private natural settings. Whether you choose our "rustic" sauna next to crystal-clear lake waters at The Fallen Willow Sauna (voted BEST NEW SAUNA 2024 with the British Sauna Society), or the tranquil setting of The Woodland Sauna, a stunning site with a spacious luxurious sauna with invigorating cold water plunge baths x3, showers and woodland walks, Tuhka Talo offers a deeply rejuvenating experience for everyone.
​
Extensive research supports the many benefits of contrast therapy – alternating between hot and cold environments and our saunas provide the perfect setting to immerse yourself in this therapeutic practice, surrounded by nature’s beauty and tranquillity.
​
Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day, spend quality time with friends, or simply embrace a moment of peace, our sauna sessions cater to your individual needs.
​
We welcome you to experience our magical sauna spaces, release the stresses of the outside world, and allow the therapeutic nature of hot and cold to bring you into a state of well-being.
​
Open all year around, available for private or community bookings for those looking to unwind, enjoy nature and to feel great!
