Your Cornish coast sanctuary
Wellness at Polhawn
Perched on the Cornish coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Polhawn Fort is a sanctuary offering a restorative escape from daily life. We’re excited to introduce our new bespoke wellness weddings and homestay retreats, where the priority is spending quality time with loved ones and creating unforgettable memories amidst the tranquillity of the sea and wilderness.
Say goodbye to wedding and life burnout, and hello to a peaceful getaway crafted entirely around your needs. Our dedicated wellness team is here to help you design your ideal retreat – whether it’s filled with wellbeing activities or simply allows for moments of stillness, you can do as much or as little as you please.
To create your perfect experience, we’ve curated a selection of hand-picked expert practitioners offering activities that range from high-energy adventures like wild swimming, paddleboarding, and coasteering to transformative practices such as sound baths, shamanic drumming, and labyrinth walks.
If you’re unsure where to start, we’ve crafted an example wellness day – ideal for a post-wedding recharge or to fully embrace the serene surroundings during a homestay.
For more information, please contact our expert team, who will guide you in creating your perfect wellness escape.
The Sea-View Sauna
Nestled into the cliff, next to a natural spring you will discover our outdoor therapeutic wooden sauna with mosaic slate flooring. With only the sound of the waves, you will enjoy a panorama of our beach Polhawn Cove, the stunning Cornish Coastline, dreamy sunsets, wild birds and occasionally dolphins! An extraordinary space for relaxation and socialising, all year round.
Designed to complement the Fort’s stunning coastal setting, it provides the perfect way to warm up after a chilly sea swim, inviting you to recharge both body and mind. The sauna’s proximity to the beach enables you to experience the benefits of cold to hot therapy, which boosts energy, aids recovery, and supports immune health. A truly immersive wellness experience. The sauna combines the healing power of nature with its numerous health benefits.
And if you are looking for something extra special for your stay we can arrange a Special Sauna Ritual experience for you and your group. Through carefully designed and intuitively held rounds of heat, steam, and cold-water immersion, you will be taken on a journey by expert Sauna Masters to release the stresses and tensions of everyday life and deeply relax and release in the sauna.
"We are thrilled to introduce our new sauna, a place to relax, rejuvenate, and take in the breathtaking coastal views. A sauna isn't just about warmth; it's about wellbeing, helping to ease tension, improve circulation, and bring a sense of deep relaxation. We are excited to invite our guests to unwind, refresh, and embrace the serenity of this unique experience." Teresa.
Our Sea-View Sauna is positioned just a few steps from the main lawn, on the Beach path.
