Dorset Craft Meets Nordic Wellness: Inside Poole-Based Sauna Stable

From stable to sauna, a Poole-based business is reimagining traditional craftsmanship for a new generation of wellness living.

Sauna Stable was founded in Poole by Jimmy, whose passion for wellness and craftsmanship sparked a vision to transform classic Richardson and Rice horseboxes into beautifully built, fully bespoke mobile saunas.. Every sauna is custom-built, with clients involved throughout the design and build process to ensure the finished space reflects how it will be used and enjoyed.

From layout and materials to finishes and detailing, each build is tailored to its setting, whether that’s a private Dorset garden, a rural retreat, or a hospitality space designed for guests seeking something special.

Rather than competing on price, the focus is firmly on quality, design and long-term lifestyle value.

Bespoke Mobile Saunas with Freedom Built In

Each project begins with a carefully sourced horsebox, restored and reimagined into a luxury mobile sauna that blends vintage character with modern performance.

Clients can choose layouts, timber finishes, flooring, lighting and stove types, with both wood-burning and electric options available. Built-in speakers and lighting allow the space to be tailored to personal preference, creating a calm, immersive sauna experience.

Every build is fully road-legal, with typical build times of 8–10 weeks and prices starting from £18,000 + VAT. Saunas can be collected from the Poole workshop or delivered nationwide.

A Natural Fit for Dorset Homes, Retreats and Hospitality

With Dorset’s strong connection to outdoor living, wellness tourism and slower-paced lifestyles, Sauna Stable feels perfectly placed within the region.

The saunas are particularly well suited to:

• Homeowners looking to invest in a bespoke garden sauna
• Glamping sites and boutique hotels enhancing guest experiences
• Wellness retreats offering year-round, restorative experiences
• Landowners exploring experience-led income opportunities

Their mobility and off-grid capability offer a level of flexibility that fixed sauna installations cannot, particularly in Dorset’s rural and coastal settings.

The Health Benefits of Traditional Sauna Bathing

Sauna bathing has long been valued for its physical and mental health benefits, particularly in Nordic cultures where it forms part of everyday life.

Regular sauna use is associated with improved circulation, muscle relaxation, reduced stress, better sleep and enhanced mental clarity. For many, investing in a sauna is about establishing a regular, restorative routine that supports long-term wellbeing.

A Lifestyle Investment

Sauna Stable offers more than a beautifully built product. It offers freedom  the freedom to move your sanctuary, adapt it to different settings, and create a wellness ritual that fits naturally around life in Dorset.

Rooted in local craftsmanship and inspired by timeless sauna culture, Sauna Stable represents a thoughtful, lasting approach to modern wellbeing.
