Highly Customisable
As can be seen from the raft of options above, you can tailor the Saunum Classic to suit you or your clients requirements.
Exterior Finish - Black, Anthracite or Light Grey
The Saunum Classic Mini offers a choice of exterior finishes in Anthracite (as standard), Black, or Light Grey. This allows for seamless integration into various outdoor settings, ensuring the sauna complements your garden or poolside with its elegant design. Each option maintains the sauna's modern appeal, catering to different stylistic preferences.
Glass Colour - Clear, Bronze or Grey
Clear glass maximises natural light and visibility, bronze offers a warmer, subtle tint, while grey provides a sleek, contemporary look with added privacy. Each option enhances the overall aesthetic of the sauna while aligning with individual style and functional needs.
Interior Cladding - Alder or Thermo-Aspen
The Saunum Classic Mini comes standard with an Alder wood interior cladding, celebrated for its soothing and warm qualities. For those looking for an upgrade, the option of Thermo-Aspen wood is available. Thermo-Aspen is valued for its enhanced durability and excellent resistance to temperature variations, making it an ideal choice for frequent sauna use. Its fine texture and subtle aroma add to the luxurious sauna experience, while its thermal treatment process boosts its longevity and reduces the likelihood of warping or decay, ensuring a pristine and long-lasting sauna environment.
Bench/Backrest - Alder or Thermo-Aspen Wood
The Mini includes an I-Shaped bench, elegantly crafted in Alder wood. For those who prefer a different wood type, the sauna interior can be customised in Thermo-Aspen wood, a premium option known for its durability and resistance to temperature changes, enhancing the sauna's longevity and aesthetic appeal.
A Symphony of Light and Sound
The Mini is equipped with both indoor and outdoor LED lights, creating an atmosphere that shifts to match your mood. As the daylight fades, the dimmable lights (optional extra) cast a soft glow, enhancing the natural beauty of the Alder cladding. For the audiophiles, Bluetooth speakers are available as an optional extra to be seamlessly integrated, allowing you to immerse yourself in the soundscape of your choice, completing the multi-sensory experience.
Technical Sophistication
The Mini is not just about aesthetics and comfort; it's also built with technical precision. From the self-closing door with a natural oak and stainless steel handle to the insulated walls ensuring efficient heat retention, every detail is designed with your convenience in mind.

The Saunum Experience and Saunum Spa Session are two advanced sauna heaters designed to offer premium sauna experiences, but they cater to different needs and budgets. The Saunum Experience is a versatile home spa heater with power options ranging from 3.6 kW to 9 kW, making it suitable for smaller sauna rooms (2–10 m³). It features a compact design available in black or anthracite grey, with an adjustable height and the option for open or closed stone baskets. Control is managed via the Saunum Leil or Leil Mobile control unit, and it includes a patented air-blending system that enriches the air with Himalayan salt ions for a relaxing sauna experience.
On the other hand, the Saunum Spa Session, is tailored for larger sauna rooms (6–12 m³) with power options of 6 kW and 9 kW. This model boasts a durable construction using Magnelis® and stainless steel, with dual-level stone baskets for enhanced energy efficiency. It comes with an integrated touchscreen control unit and Wi-Fi capability for remote operation. The Spa Session also includes a steam guidance positioner for optimal air distribution and maintains the same patented air-blending system as the Experience. The Spa Session is ideal for those seeking a more luxurious and feature-rich sauna experience with advanced control options and greater power capacity.

How to Contact Us
If you have concerns about your order, please contact us at info@heracleswellness.co.uk. We’re happy to assist and ensure your satisfaction with our products.
The electrical supply required will depend on the kW rating of your chosen heater. We strongly recommend consulting with an electrician prior to any installation.
Typically, a 'dedicated' supply is utilised, similar to those for electric showers or cookers.
To calculate Amps:
Divide the Watts (e.g., 6000 for a 6kW heater) by the Volts (commonly 230)
Therefore, the Amps for a 6kW heater approximately equal 25
This small table covers domestic sauna heaters:
2.3kW = approximately 10 Amps
3.0kW = 13 Amps
3.6kW = 15 Amps
4.5kW = 19 Amps
6.0kW = 26 Amps
8.0kW = 35 Amps
Heaters above 8.0 kW typically require a Three-Phase (commercial-type) supply.
We strongly advise the use of a fully qualified electrician, compliant with all Government Regulations.
Sauna Heater Manuals
For exact electrical requirements of each heater please refer to the installation manuals below. If you provide these to your electrician, they should be able to advise you of the necessary wiring.

The Sauna of the Next Century
How Does Saunums 5-in-1 Patented Technology Work?
Saunum’s patented air-blending system traps the scorching steam, that rises under the ceiling of the sauna room, mixes it with cooler air on the floor surface, and directs the soft steam back evenly. This ensures a more even temperature of the steam, and the oxygen-enriched steam makes it easier to breathe. Water can be thrown more often to produce more steam, making the sauna air more humid, and ensuring more intense sweat. With Saunum’s patented method of enriching the air with salt ions, the salt ions from the natural salt spheres added to the sauna climate device are infused into the circulating air to reach the skin and respiratory tract. An even more relaxing sauna experience is created with the help of the aroma system, which mixes sauna oil aromas with the steam. It is a healthy alternative to burning aromatic oil on hot stones.
Saunum FAQ's
Can these saunas be delivered flat pack and assembled on site?
No, all Saunum saunas are delivered fully assembled. This is to ensure the integrity of the structure and to prevent any draughts or openings that could lead to damage.
Do I need a crane?
This will depend on the location that you wish to place your sauna. If there is sufficient access, the sauna can be positioned with a fork lift.
If I do need a crane, can you organise this for me?
We deliver the sauna to your location free of charge, however, the cost of a crane will vary significantly depending on the site. We advise that you organise your own crane/HIAB with a local contractor. If you wish, we can organise this for you, but it will always be cheaper to organise it yourself.
Why do the saunas not include a heater in the price?
There are many different specifications of Saunum heaters that cater for different budgets. Some customers already have a heater and only want the structure.
We are very pleased with our Orca Leisure Heartboro 6-person Hot Tub, which we bought for the decking of our Holiday Lodge, which we sublet when we aren't there. It is fun, spacious and easy to use with 4 clearly labelled buttons for temperature, jets, lights and auxiliary (the AUX button turns on a 3rd pump which activates some of the jets). There are 5 spaces for people to sit and one space for someone to lie down and the jets effectively give you a full massage. There are lights and blue-tooth speakers to create a mood. Our 4 grandsons christened it for us and said it was much better than the previous one it had replaced. Moreover the cost was very competitive and the company (Heracles Wellness) a pleasure to deal with and really helpful before, during and after the installation. We would certainly recommend.

Just WOW ……..
We spent 2 years researching and thinking about buying this sauna, most of that time we were talking to a different supplier who had UK exclusivity. The problem being that they would not take responsibility for delivery and offload. Thankfully they lost their exclusivity contract and we were able to purchase from Heracles. What a breath of fresh air. They were helpful to a point of actually setting up the sauna for us, and we still talk regularly if we have questions on this beautiful product. I am going to leave some reviews elsewhere with more detail, but so far this sauna has exceeded our expectations. We don’t have 3 phase, so was worried it would not be hot enough but we have learnt to actually set it to cooler than a normal sauna as it’s so efficient. Thanks Heracles . It’s a restively expensive price of kit but we have no regrets at all. The manufacturer Hellas have also spoken to us which is really nice. There was a small glitch with the HUUM heater app but they too have been responsive.

Exceeded expectations
This sauna is actually better than I thought it would be. Which is rare to say these days.
Lots of functionality and super good quality. And I came out of it feeling amazing. The infrared heat is definitely the way to go.
Thank you.

Top End Sauna and Customer Service
- Size
The Nano is advertised as a two man sauna. It is, but it's a squeeze to have two blokes in there at the same time. There'll always be one person receiving too much heat from the heater. That's not to say they are unsafe; it's safe, just uncomfortable for more than 5 mins at a time.
My adult sons and I use it, and it's really comfortably a one-man gig. That doesn't bother us a jot though, but if you ALWAYS need two seated at the same time, then you should probably go for the next size up.
Also, the most comfortable position is sitting with your legs stretched out on the bench, that's naturally a one-person situation.
- Quality
It is absolutely top end. I deliberately went for everything in one package. Heater, controller, thermostat all pre-wired and the sauna fully built in the factory in Estonia. All I had to do was arrange for a professional electrician to connect it to my home supply. That was trivial from him (cost £650 approx).
The construction mechanism using cross-laminated wood was best in class too. That holds the heat in in the best possible way. I did a lot of research in this area.
You can build your own for less, mix and match heaters and controllers, cross laminate the wood yourself, but why would you and take the time ? Pay the extra, and get it up and running in a few hours.
- Looks
Fabulous. You can see from the photo that it's already one of the family and raises the tone of our patio.
The exterior is not a wood finish. That suprises people, and was exactly what I wanted. It's a rubber-like finish chosen to survive our coastal location.
The mirrored front is absolutely great, because it looks sleek, but also reflects views of the garden. And the mirrors are truly one-way.
Timings
-------
15 min on, 15 min off, 15 min on, 15 min off is enough per session once a day.
1 hour and 15 mins from Cornwall winter (5 degrees) to 85 degrees.
There's no need to go beyond 85 degrees. At that temperature it's intense (because it's so small). Add in steam from the stones, and you really do need to be careful how much water you put on the stones.
In UK winter (ambient 5 degrees), it loses heat about 1 degree every minute, when the heater is off. I was expecting better, but it's not helped by the wind we experience locally, so acceptable.
- Controls & Setup
Wear gloves to place the stone aroud the heater or you'll have ton of tiny cuts from the heater surround fins.
Stone placement is awkward, and really quite arbitary because you don't have 360 degree access to the heater to tweak placement and cram more in. I found I only used 4 of 5 of the boxes of stones provided.
Huum controller, app setup, and home wifi network refinement was straightforward for somebody with IT skills. You'll probably need an additional wifi extender as close as possible to the sauna because the wifi signal into the sauna doesn't penetrate too deeply.
I found that the Huum wifi controller had internet connectivity from day one - so you could start/stop it from anywhere in the world ! So don't fork out the extra for the 4G version.
The controller is very straightforward to use locally. One click heater on/off and likewise for the lighting too.
- Delivery
This was a poor experience. I was told many times that it would be a curb-side drop. That means the courier offloads the sauna for you, not necessarily into position, but just off their vehicle. Importantly the duty of care sits with the courier until that completes. That's an important boundary to understand because this is 600KG fragile item. A bump or drop will shatter the glass frontage, and they have to pay.
What actually happened was the courier turned up under the expectation that I had a forklift to offload the sauna. I didn't. I should have returned it to the depot on the spot. Instead I managed to get the local farmer to offload it with barely suitable equipment - it was precarious and stressful and nearly resulted in it being dropped and damaged at my expense.
In fairness to Heracles, they are following up that problem with the shipper.
If you plan to crane it in with straps, use the forklift fixing points for the straps not the vendor recommended strap fixing points - they were not integral to the sauna structure. It still worked out ok though.
- Customer Service
Keith uses WhatsApp for all customer comms., pre and post sale. He's so reactive, any time of day or night, that I wonder if he ever turns his phone off. Absolutely A1 service.
Bear in mind that with a purchase of this nature and price, there are lots of questions and queries. There are naturally many parties involed in the chain. For me, that was the retailer, the shipper, the crane company, the courier and the electrician.
You need A1 customer service to thread all those things together. Keith meets those obligations very well indeed.
I wouldn't hesitate in dealing with Heracles Wellness again.
