New Town holds the established day spas and the Georgian-terrace clinics, where facials, acupuncture and reflexology are booked by people who have been going to the same practitioner for years. The Old Town's hotels have the city's largest thermal suites, used mainly by visitors. Leith and the waterfront have the newer arrivals: social saunas facing the Firth of Forth, cold-water dipping groups and yoga studios in converted warehouses.
Alongside the traditional Turkish baths and Victorian bathhouses that survive in a handful of cities, the past few years have brought a wave of social saunas — wood-fired cabins on harbours, riversides and city rooftops, paired with cold plunge pools or a swim in open water — and urban bathhouses built around a hot–cold circuit. A visit is booked by the session, usually 60 to 120 minutes, and the format is simple: heat, cold, rest and repeat. Some venues run guided sessions such as Aufguss (towel-waving infusions), breathwork or sauna yoga, and many have quieter times set aside for women-only or silent sessions.
