Your Wood-Fired Sauna & Cold Plunge Retreat
Our traditional wood-fired sauna cabins and chilled cold plunge pools provide a timeless ritual — one that harmonises the restorative power of heat and water, rooted in ancient wellness practices yet grounded in modern science.
Nestled in the heart of Abingdon , our sanctuary invites you to slow down, recharge, and reconnect.
Abingdon Park
Henley on Thames
At Abington, we believe in the power of ritual.
Inspired by age-old Nordic traditions, our retreat is built on respect for nature, the body, and the mind.
We are committed to sustainability: our saunas are wood-fired with responsibly sourced timber, and we design our space to have minimal impact on the surrounding ecology.
We invite every guest not just to visit, but to slow down, reflect, and reconnect — with themselves, with others, and with the natural world.
