Mobile Wood-Fired Sauna in Highland Perthshire
Wellness | Stillness | Cold Water Therapy in Aberfeldy
WildEmber Bothy (n.) – An inviting, rustic sauna, sitting lightly on the land, rooted in fire and tradition. A place to reset in nature—secluded, elemental, and connected to the wild
Just outside Aberfeldy in the hills of Highland Perthshire, WildEmber Bothy is an outdoor, wood-fired sauna immersed in nature. Designed for stillness, connection, and cold water therapy, it offers a wild sauna retreat where fire, water, and breath meet. Whether you’re seeking calm, recovery after adventure, or a deeper reconnection, we invite you to slow down — and return to something elemental.
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
– John Muir, The Mountains of California (1894)
We like to keep things simple — just like fire and water.
Choose your session type, pick a time that suits, and you’re in:
Communal sessions - Join up to eight guests in a shared sauna experience.
Private hire - Book the Bothy exclusively for yourself or your group. To enquire and reserve your slot, just drop us an email. If your group includes under-16s, we kindly ask that you book a private session. This allows us to lower the heat slightly and keep the atmosphere restful for everyone.
