Our Story
At Papermill Saunas West Wales, we believe in the power of nature to heal and rejuvenate. Our passion for the Welsh countryside and its wellness potential inspired us to create a sauna experience like no other. Located at Papermill Fishery in Swansea, our saunas are designed to be a peaceful retreat where you can unwind, destress, and reconnect with yourself.

Our wood-fired saunas are built to respect the traditional ways of sauna bathing while offering a modern, luxurious twist. With the kingfisher as our symbol, a bird known for its patience, precision, and peaceful presence, we invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment.

How we got started.

Creating Papermill Saunas was as much a labour of love as it was a skilled craft. We wanted to build a sauna experience that honours the natural beauty and traditional charm of West Wales. From the ground up, every element has been carefully planned and hand-built to bring a piece of authentic, eco-friendly wellness to Swansea.

Using locally sourced wood and sustainable materials, we crafted our saunas with a deep respect for the landscape. We embraced traditional methods of wood-fired heating, inspired by the age-old sauna practices, to provide a truly unique experience for our guests. These photos capture the journey – from the first beams laid down to the final touches that transformed this vision into a serene retreat.

Building this sauna wasn’t just about structure; it was about creating a sanctuary, a place where people can connect with nature, find calm, and experience a sense of timeless Welsh comfort. Every plank and nail reflects our commitment to quality, community, and sustainability.

As we say here in Wales

Gwna da i bawb a ddaw” (Do good to everyone who comes). And that’s our promise to you.
