Asked a lot
Answered from the venues' own pages, nothing else.
Where can I find a sauna with an ice bath or cold plunge in Brighton?
Fifteen places on our list: Coached, so.sauna, Saunadelic, Sauna + Stretch, Zone4 Hove, Recovery Room, Sauna in the Lanes, Luna Hut Sauna Café, YOYO Yard, Beach Box Spa, Luna Hut Sea Lanes, Stanmer Sauna Garden, Flame Sauna & Café, Saltdean Lido Sauna and Sauna Yard West Hove. Beach Box Spa has all three (plunge pool, chilled ice bath and the sea). The cheapest sauna session with a plunge or ice bath is YOYO Yard at £7 for 30 minutes.
Which Brighton venues have an ice bath?
Coached (Portslade), Zone4 Hove (Hove), Beach Box Spa (Kemptown & seafront) and Flame Sauna & Café (Rottingdean & Saltdean). Two of those are inside gyms; the rest are saunas.
How cold is the plunge at Brighton saunas?
Only Recovery Room publishes a figure: 5-8°C. Every other venue on this page leaves the water temperature out, so ask before you book if it matters.
Where can I sauna and then swim in the sea in Brighton?
Beach Box Spa and Luna Hut Sea Lanes, both on Madeira Drive. See the beach saunas page for session prices and what's nearby.
Is cryotherapy the same as a cold plunge?
No. Cryobright in Hove has a whole body cryotherapy chamber that reaches around -87°C for 3-5 minutes. That is dry cold, not an ice bath, so Cryobright isn't in the table.
Is there a cold plunge in Hove?
Yes: so.sauna, Saunadelic, Sauna + Stretch, Zone4 Hove (ice baths), Recovery Room and Sauna Yard West Hove. Our Hove page has them on a map.
