Woodland Sauna Experience in Glenbarrow
Barrow Sauna is a sanctuary in nature where guests reconnect with themselves and the land through the elemental power of heat, cold, and stillness.
Our Facilities
Wood-Fired Sauna
Our handcrafted sauna is heated the traditional way - with fire, stone, and steam. Whether you're new to sauna or a seasoned cold therapy fan, it's the perfect space to unwind and reconnect.
Ice Cold Plunge Pools
Slip into one of our purpose-built cold plunge pools for an instant mental and physical reset. The contrast between heat and cold boosts circulation, strengthens immunity, and sharpens focus.
Wood-Fired Hot Tub
Soak in the warmth of our outdoor hot tub, surrounded by fresh air and forest. It's the perfect way to relax your muscles and ease into recovery either solo or shared with friends.
Boosts Circulation and Detoxification
Hot sauna sessions increase blood flow, helping your body flush out toxins and promote healthier skin. Cold therapy then tightens pores and reduces inflammation, enhancing overall detox.
Speeds Up Muscle Recovery
Alternating between hot and cold therapy helps reduce muscle soreness and inflammation after workouts, speeding up recovery and improving flexibility.
Enhances Mental Clarity and Mood
Heat relaxes your body and mind, releasing tension, while cold therapy stimulates endorphin release, improving focus and reducing stress and anxiety.
Strengthens Immune Function
Regular exposure to heat and cold boosts your immune system by increasing white blood cell production and enhancing your body’s natural defenses.
Improves Sleep Quality
Hot sauna use promotes relaxation and a drop in core body temperature post-session, which supports deeper, more restful sleep, while cold therapy can reset your nervous system.
Promotes Healthy Weight Management
Heat sessions increase your heart rate and metabolism similar to moderate exercise, and cold exposure activates brown fat, helping burn calories and regulate body weight.
