Granton Events
We invite you to visit our Granton sauna for exciting collaborations and special events, where the warmth of our Siberian Cedar saunas and the breathtaking views of the Forth create the perfect setting for unforgettable gatherings and unique experiences.
Our saunas
Our two saunas at Granton are named Big Bear and Little Bear.
To us, the names evoke the warmth and comfort of a bear’s embrace, perfectly aligning with the nurturing and restorative experience of a sauna. They also reflect the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, symbolising guidance, serenity, and connection under the stars.
Both saunas are crafted from solid Siberian cedar—renowned for its slow growth, which makes it an ideal insulator for holding thermal mass. Cedar is also prized for its aromatic and antibacterial properties. With direct views over the Forth through picture-frame windows, both saunas promote a deep connection with the sea, even as you’re enveloped in the heat.
Big Bear
Our largest sauna, Big Bear, is designed as a more humid sauna space where steam moves slowly, settling perfectly on your shoulders before enveloping you in its warm hug. It gently pushes you to the edge of your comfort zone while offering ample space on two bench heights, allowing you to choose your temperature and viewpoint.
Capacity: 16 (Community) / 18 (Private Hire)
Little Bear
Meanwhile, Little Bear typically offers a slightly drier sauna experience with a higher temperature than Big Bear. Thanks to the lower humidity, the perceived warmth feels quite similar. This sauna features more top-bench seating and wider benches, allowing you to easily bring your feet up—something any sauna-loving Finn (is there any other kind?) will surely appreciate. Capacity: 6 (Community) / 8 (Private Hire)
Sauna, after all, is a science, and we’re a little geeky about it!
Both saunas complement the Soul Water Sauna Granton experience, ensuring you won’t be disappointed, no matter which one you choose. Guests can flow freely between the two saunas (unless a private session is booked), letting you choose whichever calls to you most on the day.
