What it's like

Luna Hut Sea Lanes is a beachside sauna at 300 Madeira Drive, next to the Sea Lanes open-water swimming centre and the Luna Wave yoga studio, which is the venue's sister company. The venue says it offers "refreshing sea dips and comforting heat", and lists easy access to the sea as one of the facilities.

The sauna has Finnish-style interiors, an electric stove and room for 14 people. The venue describes it as suited to relaxed, sociable group sessions. No temperature is published.

Cold options are two plunge pools, included in the session price, alfresco cold showers behind the Sea Lanes pool building, and the sea. Three changing cubicles stand outside the sauna, with storage units for your belongings. Toilets are outside the Fika cafe.

You book in multiples of 30 minutes, and the venue suggests an hour if you want a relaxed visit. There are also three one-hour silent sessions a week, and a Monday morning Aufguss ritual. The site shares its spot with Fika cafe, the Bison beach bar and an outdoor gym, all separate businesses.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants a sea dip with their sauna and would rather pay by the half hour. Groups of friends, since private hire runs up to 14 (55 or 85 minutes) or 20 (55 minutes). People coming from a swim or yoga class next door. Concessions are available on single sessions for NHS staff, students, Blue Light workers, over-65s and anyone facing financial hardship.

Sessions

First time here

  1. Book on the venue's Periode page in 30 minute multiples. The venue recommends 60 minutes. A few 15 minute walk-in slots are offered when there's space, and these can't be pre-booked.
  2. Opening hours: Monday 7am to 7pm, Tuesday to Thursday 7am to 1pm, Friday and Saturday 7am to 9pm, Sunday 8am to 7pm.
  3. Find it at 300 Madeira Drive, BN2 1BX, on the seafront next to Sea Lanes. The nearest station is Brighton, and various buses run from the station to Madeira Drive. There are plenty of bike racks. Pay and Display parking runs along Madeira Drive, but works on the Madeira Terraces mean fewer bays than usual, especially at weekends and events.
  4. Bring swimwear (required in the sauna), two towels (one to sit on, one to dry off), flip-flops for the pebbles and a water bottle. Water is supplied.
  5. Arrive a few minutes early to change in the cubicles outside the sauna and put your things in the storage units.
  6. Use the plunge pools and sea during your booked time. The session fee covers the sauna and plunge pools.

Good to know

  • Children: you must be at least 12, and anyone aged 12 to 17 must be with a responsible adult (18+) at all times.
  • Cancel more than 24 hours ahead and you get a gift card code for your next booking. There are no cash refunds.
  • The venue's own pages disagree twice. The FAQ says "five 1-hour Silent Sessions each week" but lists three (Monday and Thursday 11am to 12pm, Friday 6 to 7pm). It also says there are three changing cubicles, while the private hire page says four covered changing rooms.
  • Private hire gives you exclusive use of one sauna, while other people may still use the plunge pools and changing area.
  • Memberships (Easy Breezy, Glow Getter, Heat Wave) give 5, 10 or 29 free sessions a month. The prices are behind a Periode login, so they aren't listed here.
  • Accessibility isn't published. The venue mentions accessible routes along the seafront east and west of Sea Lanes.
  • If you swim at Sea Lanes, members of the pool can use the pool's changing facilities.
