About The Sauna Project Whangamatā
The Sauna Project Whangamatā is a beachside sauna located in Williamson Park, offering public sessions that can be booked online. It operates on a scheduled, pre-paid ticket system with options for single visits or concession passes. All bookings and session details are managed through their website.
Immerse yourself in the ultimate Coromandel wellness experience. Our authentic wood-fired sauna sits directly on the sands of Whangamatā’s stunning ocean beach. The ritual of intense heat followed by a refreshing plunge in the Pacific Ocean revitalizes both body and mind. We provide a unique, social space to unwind and connect with the elements.
For your visit, please bring towels, water, and suitable swimwear. Changing facilities and secure storage for personal items are available on-site. We recommend booking well in advance, especially during weekends and summer months, as sessions are popular and capacity is limited. Find us in Williamson Park, easily accessible with parking nearby.
What sets us apart is our commitment to pure, traditional sauna culture. We use a high-quality wood burner for an authentic, radiant heat and maintain a community-focused, digital-detox environment. It’s more than just a sauna; it’s a chance to reset amidst one of New Zealand’s most beautiful coastal landscapes.
