As the world drifts into the delightfully fuzzy days between Christmas and New Year – when nobody’s quite sure what day it is or what we’re meant to be doing – Luna Hut has the answer. With five saunas across Sussex, you’re invited to swap the sofa slump for warmth, ritual and some cold water exposure endorphins.
Across Sussex’s shores, Luna Hut’s wood-fired saunas will be glowing all Betwixmas, helping to relax the body, clear your head and revive you from that ‘haven’t moved in three days’ festive feeling. From soul-soothing heat to sea views that make you forget the Quality Street coma, the saunas offer the perfect excuse to get outside, feel alive and dip (or dunk) into cold plunge pools – or for the especially brave; the sea!
With sites in Bognor Regis, Brighton (Sea Lanes & the new Sauna Café), Eastbourne and Worthing open throughout Christmas and New Year, Luna Hut invites you to escape the Betwixmas blur and step into a sauna for the perfect post Xmas pick-me-up.
BRIGHTON – SEA LANES
Open: Christmas Day (from 8am), Boxing Day & throughout Betwixmas.
Right on Brighton’s seafront, the Sea Lanes sauna (open on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day) is the ultimate festive warm-up – especially after a dip. Move between steamy sauna, chilly plunge pools and outdoor showers before (or after!) a bold splash in the sea to really wake up the senses.

BRIGHTON – SAUNA CAFÉ
Open: Boxing Day (from 9am), and every day including New Years Eve & New Years Day.
Hidden in a peaceful courtyard garden, Luna Hut’s Brighton sauna café offers a retreat for anyone craving slowness in between the parties, leftovers and last-minute plans. Stretch out in the wood-fired sauna, dip into icy plunges, then settle into the cosy café for nourishing bowls, guilt-free treats and cups of Skylark Coffee. It’s the ideal spot for a Christmas reset: journal, read, meet a friend, or simply sink into the warmth and recuperate after a busy few weeks.
62 Beaconsfield Road, Brighton
EASTBOURNE
Open: Boxing Day (from 9am) – 30th December, (Closed: New Years Eve) and open again from New Years Day onwards.
Perched on Eastbourne’s grand Victorian seafront, Luna Hut Eastbourne is the perfect festive escape when you need a breather from mince pies, family chaos or an excuse for changing out of your pjs. Sink into the cosy heat of the wood-fired sauna, then brave an icy plunge, a cold-water shower or the sea itself. Warm up in the beach hut changing rooms, then enjoy the relaxed beachfront chill-out zone for quiet chats, deep exhales or that dreamy post-sauna glow.

WORTHING
Open: 27th – 29th December, and from New Year’s Day.
Tucked just behind Worthing’s shoreline – but still boasting sea views – Luna Hut Worthing is a calm, wintry hideaway ready to rescue you from festive overwhelm. Warm up in the wood-fired sauna, cool off under alfresco showers, take on the invigorating bucket shower, or (if you’re feeling brave!) wander to the sea for a full hot-cold ritual. With cafés and Splashpoint Leisure Centre just moments away, it’s the perfect add-on to a Christmas stroll along the prom or a gentle New Year’s Day reset.
Splashpoint Leisure Centre, 60 Brighton Rd, Worthing
BOGNOR REGIS
Open: Boxing Day (from 9am) – 28th December, and from 2nd January.
Located at The Bull Nose, Luna Hut’s newest spot brings a Finnish-inspired sauna to Bognor Regis’ seafront. Step into the warm glow of the 10-person wood-fired sauna, cool off outside, and breathe in crisp sea air that feels extra sparkly this time of year. Whether you’re easing into the limbo period, starting fresh before the New Year, or just escaping for a moment of calm, this nurturing haven offers the perfect Betwixmas activity.

Luna Hut co-founder Laura Brown says: “The period between Christmas and New Year is that magical gap when there feels like there’s more time, and life gives you permission to slow right down. At Luna Hut, we celebrate this pause with warmth, steam, and salty sea air – a simple ritual to warm your soul, clear your mind, and remind you what it feels like to truly relax. It’s the perfect way to shake off the festive frenzy and step into the new year feeling fresh, calm, and ready for whatever’s next. We hope you’ll come and see us at one of our saunas during the festivities.”
Luna Hut sauna sessions start from £8 for 30 minutes. Luna Hut’s saunas can be found in Eastbourne, Brighton, Worthing and Bognor Regis. Find out more and book here: lunahutsauna.co.uk.
