Ty Sawna. The wood fired Sauna on the beach
A Morning at Ty Sawna — Gower’s Beautiful Wood Fired Beach Sauna
There are few places more magical than the beach on a quiet morning. Wide open sands, rolling waves, sea air and that unmistakable sense of calm that Gower does so well.
And tucked right on OxwichBay is one of our favourite experiences to recommend to guests staying at Jacob Cottage - Ty Sawna.
Set directly on the shoreline, this beautifully crafted wood-fired sauna has quickly become one of Gower’s most special wellness experiences, and for good reason.
Sauna, Sea & Slow Living
At its heart, Ty Sawna is all about simplicity.
You move between the warmth of the sauna and the cold waters of the bay, slowing down, warming up and reconnecting with nature in the process. The contrast between the heat of the wood-fired barrels and the fresh sea air feels both invigorating and deeply calming.
With panoramic windows looking straight out across the ocean, even sitting quietly inside feels incredibly restorative.
The experience captures everything we love about Gower - wild beauty, simplicity and the feeling of escaping everyday life for a while.
A Unique Gower Experience
Ty Sawna was one of Wales’ first beach saunas and has become hugely popular with locals and visitors alike.
Guests can choose from communal sessions, private bookings and guided rituals, with experiences often including breathwork, sea dipping and seasonal wellness events.
Whether you visit after a coastal walk, a surf session or simply as a slow morning treat, it’s one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave.
You can book your sauna session at Ty Sawna directly on their website tysawna.co.uk
Our Perfect Morning at Oxwich
If we were planning the perfect Jacob Cottage morning, it would look something like this:
Coffee and pastries from Little Valley Bakery before heading to the beach
A sea swim at Oxwich Bay
Warming up inside the sauna as waves roll in outside
A slow walk along the shoreline afterwards
Lunch overlooking the sea at the Michelin starred restaurant The Beach House.
Simple pleasures done beautifully.
Staying at Jacob Cottage
One of the best things about staying at Jacob Cottage is having experiences like this right on your doorstep.
After your sauna session, return to the cabin for cosy afternoons by the fire, outdoor cooking in the garden or a glass of wine beneath the trees.
Gower has a wonderful way of helping you slow down, and Ty Sawna is a perfect example of that.
