Tory Urban Retreat aims to cater for every relaxation desire to promote a stress free, balanced and healthy life.
Much has been made of the health benefits of sauna bathing. With good reason. Physically, nothing is more reinvigorating than a deep, healthy sweat every day. Tension fades. Muscles unwind. Mentally, we emerge relaxed, revived and ready for whatever the day may bring. The body’s response to gentle, persistent heat is well-documented and proven day in and out by people all over the world.
Our large & spacious Finnish sauna will relax, improve your overall health, and enhance your well-being.
The Finnish sauna is complemented by our beautiful, tranquil super large plunge pool set in lush surroundings for the perfect sauna experience.

To all Newcomers to our Sauna
Please be aware that while our sauna has etiquette on mixed gender days requiring patrons to wear a towel around your waist, there are elements of nudity in certain areas. These are by the plunge pool and the showers. If you are not comfortable with mixed gender nudity, (or not sure how you feel about this), we recommend that you visit the sauna on a single gender day. Monday’s are Men’s Only and Tuesday’s are Women’s Only days.
