Swim & Sauna at the lakes
Escape. Refresh. Reconnect.
Find calm, clarity and renewal beside the water.
Discover the art of cold-water immersion and lakeside relaxation at The Lakes at Lavender Hall. Nestled in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, our calm borehole fed waters and handcrafted wood-fired saunas create the perfect setting to pause, breathe, and restore balance.
The Experience
Embrace the contrast of heat and cold, a ritual that invigorates body and mind. Begin with a rejuvenating sauna beside the water’s edge, then take a gentle dip in our open lake to awaken your senses. Finish your session around the fire pit or unwind in our café with a warm drink in hand.
Each session is a moment to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover the simple pleasure of stillness.
