The UK’s first public floating sauna has opened on Liverpool’s Princess Dock

The UK’s first-ever public floating sauna has opened in the heart of Liverpool at Princes Dock.

Wyld Sauna’s new space features a 30-person sauna, four ice baths, two cold waterfall showers, four heated outdoor showers equipped with salt rubs, changing rooms complete with ‘opulent finishes’, as well as direct access into the water at Princes Dock for a refreshing post-sauna dip.

Created by long-time friends and sauna enthusiasts, Jon Miller and Tom Berendsen, the unique experience promises to blend ‘the serenity of nature with the urban vibrancy of the city, offering a space for connection and relaxation.’

Jon has a background in architecture and a passion for saunas and cold water swimming, and designing and building Wyld Sauna has allowed him to blend his love for wellness with his design expertise.

Meanwhile, Tom has always made saunas a part of his daily life thanks to his Dutch heritage and father Henk, who instilled the love of saunas and its benefits within their family.

Wyld, which is an official member of the British Sauna Society, brings the traditional Nordic sauna experience to modern urban living, creating a communal environment that’s accessible to everyone.

Wyld Sauna will be situated on Princes Dock as part of Liverpool Waters and is open to all, from novices to long-time sauna enthusiasts.

Floating on water, Wyld Sauna offers breathtaking views of Liverpool’s skyline. Crafted from Thermal Alder, the sauna is also naturally antimicrobial, free from chemicals, and cool to the touch—ensuring both comfort and environmental friendliness.

Bookings open from Fri 8 Nov.
