When cold-water therapy is added to the mix, it feels like the ultimate wellness combo. The benefits are undeniable - whether it’s relieving stress, boosting immunity, or easing muscle tension, the hot and cold contrast gives you a rush of adrenaline that truly revitalises the body and mind.
To kickstart the year right and shake off the winter blues, I've been on the lookout for the best wellness experiences Scotland has to offer. The sauna culture has emerged as a standout trend. With similarities to Scandinavian traditions, Scotland’s climate seems to make it the perfect fit for embracing the sauna experience.
Spear Sauna, Lost Shore - Newbridge
Nestled within the new Lost Shore surf resort in Newbridge, Spear Sauna offers a Scandinavian-inspired wellness experience with a unique backdrop- a manmade surf haven. To complete the ultimate experience, the resort also boasts 'Canteen', a trendy street-style restaurant featuring local favourites like Civerinos. With its beautiful touches and something for everyone, it’s the perfect spot for the whole family. Whether you’re in the mood for a wellness sauna, keen to test the waves, or just craving some pizza, it’s the ideal winter day out.
