Welcome to The Sky Spa — an outdoor wellness experience where you can slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature beneath the ever-changing Cornish sky. Set in the heart of Porthcothan Bay, The Sky Spa is all about embracing the outdoors. Feel the warmth of the sauna, relax in the hot tub and then step outside into the fresh Cornish air before taking the plunge into our cold plunge or cold bath. From bright blue skies and crisp clear evenings to dramatic clouds and unforgettable sunsets, every visit brings a different experience. Our session gives you time to escape the everyday and enjoy the simple pleasure of being outside, breathing in the fresh air and looking up at the sky. Move between hot and cold at your own pace, take a moment to pause, and let the natural surroundings do the rest. There’s no rush, no screens and no distractions — just you, the elements and the Cornish sky above you. Whether you’ve spent the day exploring the coast, walking along the South West Coast Path, or simply want some peaceful time to yourself, The Sky Spa is the perfect place to relax, refresh and reset. Under the Cornish sky. Breathe in. Slow down. Reset. Welcome to The Sky Spa.

Come prepared to embrace the elements and enjoy your time beneath the Cornish sky. Please bring: Swimwear – essential for the hot tub, cold plunge and cold bath. Two towels – one for drying off and one to sit on in the sauna. Flip-flops or suitable footwear – the spa is outdoors, so something easy and comfortable to walk in is ideal. A water bottle – staying hydrated is important, particularly when using the sauna and hot tub. A change of dry clothes – perfect for getting cosy afterwards. Most importantly, bring yourself, leave the outside world behind and come ready to relax, reset and enjoy!
