THE UK’s first “floating” sauna is opening in Liverpool.

Wyld Sauna will open at Princes Dock on Saturday, November 23 and will feature a 30 person sauna, four ice baths, two cold waterfall showers, four heated outdoor showeres equipped with salt rubs, and direct access into the water at Princes Dock.  

Luxury changing rooms will also see guests utilise Dyson hair dryers, lockers, mirrors and swimsuit dryers for ease when completing their visit.

Created by long-time friends and sauna enthusiasts, Jon Miller and Tom Berendsen, both 42, this unique experience blends the serenity of nature with the urban vibrancy of the city, offering a space for connection and relaxation.

Jon has a background in architecture and a passion for saunas and cold water swimming and designing and building Wyld Sauna has allowed him to blend his love for wellness with his design expertise.

Meanwhile, Tom has always made saunas a part of his daily life thanks to his Dutch heritage and father Henk, who instilled the love of saunas and its benefits within their family.

Jon Miller, Co-Founder of Wyld Sauna, said: "We’ve always believed in the power of saunas—not just for physical health, but for building community and creating moments of calm in our busy lives.

“Wyld is our way of making that experience accessible to as many people as possible.

“Our mission is to bring the best of the Nordic sauna tradition to Liverpool, where anyone can come, unwind, and reconnect—whether it’s their first sauna or their hundredth."

Wyld, which is an official member of the British Sauna Society, brings the traditional Nordic sauna experience to modern urban living, creating a communal environment that’s accessible to everyone.

Tom Berendsen, Co-Founder, added: ”Princes Dock is the perfect setting for Wyld. Being on the water adds another layer to the experience, with the city skyline on one side and the calm of the dock on the other.

“It’s a place where nature and urban life meet, which is exactly what Wyld is all about.

“We’re very excited to be opening the UK’s first floating sauna, right here in the heart of this beautiful city that’s steeped in heritage and culture.”
