About the Oak Sauna
The Oak Sauna sits within the much loved grounds of Upton Country Park in Poole, a place that has been at the heart of local life in Dorset for generations. Families have wandered its woodland paths and open meadows for decades, making it one of the most cherished outdoor spaces for nature activities and healthy activities in the area.
Today, the park continues to be a place where people come to slow down and reconnect. Conversations linger over tea and cake in the tearooms, friends put the world to rights on gentle walks, and early morning runners, dog walkers and quiet solo explorers enjoy the benefits of spending time outdoors. It is a setting that naturally supports outdoor wellness, whatever the season.
Set among these timeless surroundings, The Oak Sauna offers a unique outdoor sauna experience in Poole. Nestled in nature, our wood fired sauna provides a calm and restorative space to relax, unwind and recharge. The warmth of the sauna encourages deep relaxation while supporting circulation, boosting immunity and offering a natural health boost during the colder months.
Regular sauna use is known to support healthy skin, improve collagen production and promote overall wellbeing. The contrast between the fresh outdoor air and the steady heat of the wood fired sauna helps improve circulation and leaves you feeling refreshed and energised.
The Oak Sauna is also a place of connection. Just as a friendly nod or greeting is shared on the woodland trails, the sauna naturally brings people together. It offers a welcoming space where all generations can enjoy meaningful moments of connection, whether visiting alone or as part of a shared experience.
We created The Oak Sauna with winter activities in Dorset in mind. When darker days make it harder to stay active or social, the sauna provides a warm, uplifting environment that encourages people to get outdoors, even in winter. It offers a simple yet powerful way to support wellbeing at a time of year when it is needed most.
Whether it becomes part of your post Park Run routine, a peaceful pause after a countryside walk, or a relaxing day retreat in nature, The Oak Sauna invites you to enjoy one of the most restorative things to do in Poole. Open throughout the year, it offers a gentle escape into warmth, nature and calm, right in the heart of Dorset.
