Outdoor Sauna Types & Cabin Designs
Traditional Estonian Saunas
Classic wood-burning or electric heater saunas create high-heat environments between 80-100°C using steam. The authentic sauna experience opens pores, promotes detoxification, and relaxes mind and body. Built from aromatic thermowood or Nordic spruce for efficient heating and lasting durability. Explore our range of traditional saunas for classic layouts, stone heaters, and multi-level bench options.
Outdoor Infrared Saunas
Modern infrared saunas use advanced technology to warm your body directly at comfortable 45-60°C temperatures. This gentle heat penetrates deep into muscles and joints, ideal for those sensitive to higher temperatures. Quick 10-20 minute heat-up times suit busy lifestyles.
Barrel Sauna Collection
The curved barrel design doesn’t just look great — it naturally circulates warm air for even heat, reduces heat loss, and offers exceptional structural strength. Compact barrel saunas use outdoor space efficiently, creating a cosy atmosphere that withstands the elements.

Hybrid saunas combine traditional and infrared heating in one unit and offer complete versatility. You can switch between steamy traditional heat and gentle infrared warmth as you like. Many premium cabins include chromotherapy lighting, Bluetooth audio, and spacious changing areas.
