Newcastle's Hidden Gem
We’ve become one of the hottest sauna spots in town — known for our signature steam sessions, handcrafted essential oil blends, and serious heat. This is not a gentle spa day. This is heat, steam, ice, and full-body recovery.
Your Session Includes
Everything you need, all in one session — recovery tools, freshen-up facilities, and premium extras like infrared light, ice for your drinks. Or take a pick of our essential oils. First time? We’ll guide you through it.
Choose Your Cold
Step in, feel the shock. Go for a refreshing 8–12°C or into an Icy 1–3°C — then step back into sauna & warm up.
More Than a Sauna — A Newcastle Day Out
Just moments from the beach and surrounded by cafés, restaurants, amusements, and free parking — Sauna Ice Balance is perfectly placed for a full day out in Newcastle. Park Avenue Car Park is only a 2-minute walk from reception, making your visit easy from the moment you arrive.

Everything first timers ask us
First visit. What should I expect?
Arrive a few minutes early and our team will walk you through everything. Every hour is capped at just 10 people, so the studio always feels calm and never crowded, and you have the sauna, cold plunges, red light therapy and our recovery tools for your full session.
How hot is the sauna, and how cold are the plunges?
Our Finnish sauna runs at a true 95°C+. For the cold, you choose your level: a refreshing 8–12°C tub or the icy 1–3°C plunge, then step back into the heat to warm up.
Do I need to book ahead?
We recommend it. With only 10 spaces per hour, booking guarantees your spot, especially at weekends. Tap Book Your Session to pick a time that suits you.
What is included with my session?
Showers, lockers, massage guns, essential oils, ice for your drinks and complimentary red light therapy are all part of every session.
I have never done a cold plunge. Is it for me?
Yes. You control the temperature and how long you stay in, and our team will guide you through your first contrast rounds. Most people are surprised how good they feel after the very first dip.
Can we book as a group?
Absolutely. Private group sessions are available with discounts for up to 15 people, ideal after a Slieve Donard hike. Call 07702298538 and we will sort a time for you.
