Al-Nara: A Wood-Fired Sauna Experience in Cornwall

Wood Fired Barrel Sauna & Cold Plunge

Nestled within the grounds of The Old Primary School in Ludgvan, near Penzance, Al-Nara is a private wood-fired sauna rooted in warmth, restoration and community connection.  


Al-Nara means 'she who is a flame' in Arabic - a name that honours the deep feminine power of the fire and the sacred lineage this space holds. Sitting on the Athena & Apollo Ley Line, linking sacred sites from the Middle East to Cornwall— this is a place of deep grounding and renewal.


Move between the heat of the sauna and the invigorating plunge pool, awakening your senses and restoring balance.  Whether you come alone or with friends, Al-Nara is a space to reconnect - to your body, to your breath. 

Step into the heat. Take the plunge. Let Al-Nara hold you.

Sauna FAQ's

We always recommend checking with a knowledgeable medical professional first before you expose your body to new stressors, such as heat and cold in alternation, especially if you have a health conditions such as fluctuations in blood pressure. 

For new sauna users, spending 10-15 minutes per round with cool-downs in between. A cool down can be stepping outside for fresh air and a small sip of water, or a cold plunge if you are seasoned wild water immerser. Consider 2-3 rounds with cold plunges in between to maximise health benefits.


Based on research from metabolic scientist Susanna Søberg, 11 minutes or more of cold exposure and 57 minutes or more of sauna bathing per week gives you the most benefits.
