I’ve found a new favourite way to end a day.
I booked the Deep session at SaunaHaüs on the Mouille Point promenade, and my top tip is to book the 7pm slot. You go into the heat while the sun is setting and step out into that soft evening glow over the Atlantic. If the timing’s right, you’ll also catch the moon rising over the water. It’s as dreamy as it sounds.
It’s the combination that gets you going. The sauna heat wraps around you, and the essential oils awaken your entire system, in a really good way. Then you step outside and the first thing you notice is the sound of the ocean, waves rolling in just metres away. Heat, scent, sea air, sunset and moonrise all come together, and suddenly the emails and constant calls feel very far away, even if just for a moment, and you remember to simply be and breathe!

By the time you’re done, you’re glowing, calm and properly hungry. So book dinner nearby and make an evening of it. We chose Cosco on Sea Point Main Road for a light bite, but that will be another review in itself!
✈️ Juicy top tip for travellers
If you’ve just landed and jet lag or simple travellers’ fatigue is messing with your body clock, book a session. You will sleep like a baby afterwards.
