We've Been Nominated – UK Pool & Spa Awards 2025

We’re proud to share some exciting news from the PortaSauna team — we’ve been nominated for Innovative Outdoor Living & Wellness Product of the Year at the UK Pool & Spa Awards 2025.

This is a big moment for us. When we launched PortaSauna at the start of 2024, we had a simple idea: make authentic sauna culture more accessible, wherever you are. Whether that’s in your garden, on the beach, or in the wild — we wanted to give people the freedom to sauna on their own terms.

Being recognised in this way, especially by an established industry awards body, is a proud milestone in our journey.

Why It Matters

The UK Pool & Spa Awards celebrate innovation, design, and excellence across the wellness and leisure sector. Our nomination came through our distributor Golden Coast, who have been a key part of bringing PortaSauna into 30+ retail stores nationwide. Their support, and the incredible feedback from our customers, made this nomination possible.

“To be shortlisted for an award like this in our first year is pretty surreal,” said Jordan, our founder. “We’ve poured everything into this — the design, the durability, the details. The goal was always to make something useful, beautiful, and good for your wellbeing. This nomination feels like a win already.”

Built for Outdoor Living

Our HEX and HEXXL models were designed from scratch for people who love the outdoors — cold water swimmers, athletes, adventurers, and anyone looking for a bit more peace and presence in daily life. With a 10-minute setup time, a 20-minute heat-up, and no need for planning permission, we’re seeing them pop up in gardens, glamping sites, wild swims, retreats, and even circus shows.

It’s not just individuals using PortaSauna. Businesses like Petersfield Open Air Pool, Whitmore Lakes, and community groups such as the Recovery Swimming Club have added our saunas to their offerings — creating new experiences and helping people reconnect with nature and with each other.
