elemental sauna and spa

A breathing space of fire, cold water and clear air.

Steps away from our spring-fed pond, the Elemental Spa brings together wood-fired saunas, Mendip spring water and real weather. It’s for people who like nature, heat and cold enough to test their edges a little – and come away feeling more awake to themselves and the world.

Testimonials

Oakhill Ponds is my happy place, perfect for connecting with nature and always leave feeling restored and energised. The sauna is beautiful and plunging in either the tub or pond makes me feel amazing...I think I might actually be addicted! Coming to Oakhill is always the highlight of my week.

What a find! This place is such a wonderful natural space to unwind from the busy world and connect with the good things. Such a reset and rest, I particularly love the contrast between the wood fired sauna and the cool of the cold water plunge bath. Restorative!

High spec shepherds hut in beautiful surroundings. We loved the sauna and cold dip in the swimming pond. Absolutely glorious experience.
