Every Friday night here in West Cork, a group of people gather at Dreenatra pier to enjoy a sauna, taking turns jumping into the cold, invigorating sea once it gets too hot. This ritual, now so popular across Ireland, has its roots in Finland, the home of sauna culture.

This beautifully photographed book captures that exact magic. It’s an escape in itself, whisking you away to:

The gentle heat of a traditional Finnish sauna.

A still, silent lake at midnight.

A hidden pond nestled amongst rolling fells.

It’s the perfect coffee table book for anyone who loves wild swimming and sauna, or simply dreams of escaping into the tranquillity of nature. A true celebration of a ritual that warms the body and soothes the soul.
