Suggested Private Hire Flow

This can vary depending on the booking, location and hire length.

Delivery & Setup

The sauna and plunge are brought to your location and set up ready for use.

The team will position the sauna safely, prepare the equipment and explain how the experience works.

Heat Up

The wood-fired sauna is lit and brought up to temperature.

Once ready, you can begin your private contrast therapy session.

Sauna Round One

Step inside the PortaSauna KABIN and let the heat build.

Sit, breathe, relax and allow your body to settle into the warmth.

Plunge

After the sauna, step into the cold plunge for a refreshing contrast.

Cold water is optional and should always be taken at your own pace.

Rest

Take time outside the sauna to cool down, dry off, rehydrate and relax.

Repeat

Move between sauna, plunge and rest throughout your hire period.

This rhythm of heat, cold and recovery is the heart of the experience.

Full Weekend & Midweek Hire

The Secret Sauna Co. Glasgow offers both full weekend hire and midweek private hire.

Weekend Hire

Perfect for a complete wellness weekend at home or at a private venue.

Weekend hire gives you more time to enjoy the sauna and plunge properly, with no need to rush.

Midweek Hire

A great option for people looking for a midweek reset, private recovery session or small wellness gathering.

Midweek hire is also ideal for quieter bookings and flexible private use.

For availability, pricing and setup requirements, contact Alistair directly.

Trip Tips

Check Your Space

Before booking, make sure you have a suitable outdoor space for the sauna and plunge setup.

A flat, safe area with enough room around the sauna is ideal.

Bring Water

Sauna and cold plunge sessions can be dehydrating. Keep water nearby and drink throughout your hire.

Wear Swimwear

Wear swimwear for the sauna and plunge. A changing robe or loose clothing is also useful for moving between heat, cold and rest.

Bring Two Towels

Use one towel to sit on in the sauna and one towel for drying off after the plunge.

Have Warm Layers Ready

After cold plunge, warm layers make a big difference. Bring a robe, fleece, hoodie or oversized clothing.

Take the Cold Plunge Slowly

Cold water is optional. Enter slowly, breathe steadily and do not push yourself beyond what feels right.

Rest Between Rounds

The best contrast therapy experiences include time to pause. Move between sauna, plunge and rest at a pace that feels good for you.

Keep It Social or Keep It Quiet

Private hire gives you the choice. Use it as a social experience with friends and family, or as a quiet reset.
