SONDER SAUNA

Relax, Unwind, Restore

Escape to Auckland's newest beach sauna experience! Enjoy hot/cold therapy with our traditional wood-fired sauna and ice bath at our public beach sauna, or hire us for events, and discover the bliss of outdoor beachside wellness.

Sonder brings sauna and ice bath therapy to Murrays Bay beach, creating a collective space for wellness and connection on the North Shore, Auckland. Experience the natural resilience of your body while enjoying views of the Hauraki Gulf.

The word "Sonder" encapsulates the feeling of connection and shared experience that we aim to cultivate.

The realisation that each random passer-by is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you'll never know exist
