What You Need to Know Before Buying Your First Hot Tub
Owning a hot tub feels like dipping your toe into warm water. Once you’re in, you wonder why you waited so long. But unlike that spontaneous decision to hop into...
Traditional saunas are a time-honored way to unwind and rejuvenate, rooted in authentic Finnish sauna traditions that promote overall health and wellness. These conventional saunas use heat from a traditional stove (wood-burning or electric) to warm the air, creating the perfect sauna experience with controlled humidity levels. The therapeutic heat and steam environment helps soothe sore muscles, improve circulation, and promote relaxation by pouring water over hot stones to create the signature sauna atmosphere Finland is famous for.

Our curated collection features premium traditional indoor sauna options: barrel sauna designs and cabin-style home saunas. Each type offers unique wellness benefits and can be customized to fit your specific space requirements and bather preferences, from single person models to spacious 5- to 6-person traditional units.
Don’t forget the finishing touches: ladles, thermometers, and backrests from our dedicated sauna-accessories section make every steam session more comfortable.
Barrel saunas represent the pinnacle of traditional Finnish sauna craft, offering a compact yet efficient sauna experience. These authentic Finnish saunas are constructed from high-quality Nordic spruce (40-46mm thickness), known for superior durability and natural aromatic properties. The circular barrel design ensures optimal heat distribution and creates the perfect environment for 2- to 4-person sauna sessions.

They are available in multiple configurations, from intimate 2-person traditional models to expansive 5- to 6-person family units.
Our cabin sauna offerings include:
When selecting from our traditional Finnish saunas, consider your available space and intended sauna use. For intimate wellness sessions, a 2-person indoor sauna provides the perfect traditional steam experience for couples. Families typically prefer our 4- to 5-person or 5- to 6- person traditional models that accommodate group relaxation sessions.
Space-specific recommendations:
Choose between authentic wood-burning traditional stoves or convenient electric Harvia heaters. Wood-burning options provide the most authentic Finnish sauna experience, allowing you to heat sauna stones naturally while enjoying the ritual of fire tending. Electric heaters offer precise temperature control and straightforward installation, perfect for indoor traditional sauna setups.
