THE EXPERIENCE
We invite you to step inside and let the löyly envelop you in a warming calmness that engages your senses. The perfect antidote to the stressors of life. A moment of escapism to lift your spirits and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. Immerse yourself in a momentary getaway, and emerge with a fresh flow of renewed energy.
In true Finnish spirit, The Salty Finn Sauna is a communal experience. Bookings are for a single space in the sauna which can accommodate 6 people at a time. You can book multiple spaces if you are visiting with friends or family, or you can always book a private session if you are not game to share.
Sauna bookings include time for changing if required. However, please be aware that the change room is small, therefore it is best if you come prepared with your swimsuit on to avoid ‘baring’ too much.
Traditional saunas are hot! The heat can be controlled by adding water to the hot stones of the sauna stove. You can also move to different levels of the sauna seating if you need a break from the heat. Moving higher = hotter! To gain the full benefits of hot-cold exposure, it is recommended that you spend 10-15 minutes in the sauna, before cooling off and then repeat!

FAQ's and T&C's prior to booking.
