Experience couldn't be any better!

The experience of a smoke sauna is highly regarded in Finland, with the quality of the sauna’s atmosphere and steam, known as löyly, being a key aspect. It’s a deeply relaxing and culturally significant activity, often paired with a refreshing swim in a lake. The Finnish smoke sauna, known as savusauna, is a traditional type of sauna that dates back hundreds of years. Preparing a smoke sauna takes several hours, as heat-retaining stones are heated in a fireplace. Once the sauna is hot enough, the fire dies down, and the residual heat provides a soothing experience and the calming ambiance.

This program is suitable for a group of at least 10 people.
