Handcrafted Outdoor Saunas, Built in Devon
Bring the Magic of Sauna Home
After years of running public beach and woodland saunas, we’ve learned what makes the perfect sauna experience - beautiful heat, solid craftsmanship, and a sense of peace.
Now, we’re building that same experience for your home, garden, or business.
Built by People Who Run Saunas Every Day
We don’t just build saunas we live them. From Mothecombe Beach to Dartington to Bantham, hundreds of people use our saunas each week. Every design decision we make, the bench layout, timber choices, the heater placement, comes from real-world experience.
Each sauna is handmade in Devon using high quality local timber and is a collaboration of your desires and our expertise to create your perfect sauna.

How it works?
-
Fill in our form or email directly on somewheresaunabuilds@gmail.com and we’ll book in a call to here more from you.
-
We begin with a conversation about your ideas, your requirements and the space where you’d like the sauna to live.
You don’t have to know exactly what you’re looking for - we can help you make sense of things.
-
To dive into the full design and quote process, we require a £150 design deposit.
This ensures we can dedicate the time to map out your exact specs. If you go ahead with the purchase, this deposit is fully deducted from your final build price.
-
Once the design is locked in, we’ll slot you into our build pipeline, coordinating the schedule around when you need the sauna on-site.
We handcraft your sauna in Devon, tailoring the build to your preferences including different cladding options, sauna shapes, and bench layouts.
-
Once the build is complete, we handle the transport and installation. We’ll run through a quick access checklist with you beforehand to make sure we can smoothly maneuver our vehicle and trailer onto your site.
-
We want to make sure you know how to get the absolute best out of your sauna.
Because these are high-quality builds designed to withstand the elements, we'll show you how to look after it so it lasts for a really long time.
“Working with Columb from Somewhere Sauna has been an incredible experience from start to finish.
He built me a beautiful outdoor wood-fired sauna using locally sourced Devon timber, and the craftsmanship is second to none. His communication, design ideas, and attention to every small detail were outstanding.
I use the sauna multiple times a week including for my workshops Breathe & Freeze.
Family gatherings and social meet ups are a lot more fun now we have this 8 man sauna to chat and catch up when friends or family visit — it’s become the heart of our home.
One of the best investments I’ve made in years.”
— Brett Harrington
“The sauna that we are lucky enough to own was custom built and installed by Columb Thompson.
The sauna is constructed entirely of locally sourced materials and is built to the highest level of craftsmanship .
The source of heating is a small woodburning stove. Combined with the exceptional level of insulation the heat that can be generated and maintained is extraordinary.
It is an absolute pleasure and a privilege to sit inside the sauna enjoying its matching tones of wood internally and the view outside whatever the weather or time of day.”
— Dai Jones
