MARA 6 | Six person sauna cabin | From £42,500 exc. VAT01 | THE ORDINARY USE
Six when you want it. Worth lighting for two.
Most six-person saunas are occasion buildings. You heat a hall to sit in a corner of it, so you save it for when people come, and it gets used a dozen times a year.
The Mara 6 is drawn to avoid that. It is the same square plan as the Mara 4, run 300 millimetres longer — enough to seat six and to let anyone lie flat, not enough to turn it into a room you have to justify lighting. Four times a week for two of you is a reasonable thing to do with it.
Then at the weekend it takes six without anyone perched on the end of a bench.
02 | IS THIS THE RIGHT ONE
THE MARA, AND WHO SHOULD BUY SOMETHING ELSE
THE MARA MAY BE FOR YOU IF…
You want it used routinely, not saved for visitors, and you want it to take six when they come.
You want to lie flat and you are tall. At 2100mm nobody folds.
You have guests, family or a let to think about as well as yourselves.
SOMETHING ELSE MAY BE MORE SUITED IF…
It is almost never more than two or three. The Mara 4 is the same building smaller, and quicker to bring up.
The site takes serious wind. The overhanging roof catches it; the Cove sheds weather instead.
Guests would need to change on site. The Cove 12 has a changing room inside it, and the Cove 6 has an integrated porch

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DOON SAUNA
01
NOTHING THAT OFF-GASSES
Inside the sauna envelope we use no glues, resins, silicones or synthetic sealants. Insulation is sheep's wool without polymer binders, so the wall handles moisture rather than being sealed against it.
02
OPENINGS THAT STAY TRUE
Doors and windows are handmade from Accoya, one of the few timbers that performs reliably through repeated heat cycles. Accoya carries a fifty-year warranty on the timber. Frames stay true. Seals remain tight.
03
SURFACES THAT TAKE THE HEAT
Interiors are lined in thermo-treated aspen: low resin, stable, calm to touch at full heat. Floors are porcelain tile with stainless drainage. Fixings are marine stainless.
04
VENTILATION AS ONE SYSTEM
Fresh air enters low, passes the heat source, and leaves cleanly. Bench heights are set to put you in the band where temperature is consistent and circulation is balanced.
05
LIGHT YOU DON'T LOOK AT
Downlighting is concealed beneath the benches and uplighting behind the backrests. No overhead fitting, no glare, nothing to adjust
06
DESIGNED IN SCOTLAND, BUILT IN EUROPE
We develop the form, proportions and performance details in Scotland. Manufacture is with long-established specialist timber partners in Europe, chosen for expert craftsmanship, consistency and material control.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
MARA 6 . PRIVATE CLIENT . ABERDEENSHIRE 2025
“We wanted an aesthetic sauna made from high-quality, clean materials - but also importantly, one that delivered an authentic sauna experience. We weren’t just after a hot box; we wanted great steam quality, which is the real magic of a good sauna.
Doon completely met the brief and exceeded our expectations. Our sauna is beautiful inside and out, built and finished to an exceptionally high standard, with incredible attention to detail throughout.
The team at Doon were a joy to work with from design through to installation, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the products they create.
The sauna experience has confirmed what a worthwhile investment this has been for our well-being. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Doon to anyone looking for a high-quality sauna that’s beautifully designed in both form and function.”
