Rovaniemi Sauna World

It all started with one sauna. Then came another. Before we knew it, we had six saunas – and now, for the upcoming season, eight. Why? Because we wanted to take the Finnish sauna culture experience to the next level. But once we had the saunas, we realized something was missing – of course, pools! Hot and cold, naturally – and not just one, but now two jacuzzis for the ultimate experience!

About our Saunas and pools

Summer - Kesä

A sauna where the basic elements of the Finnish summer, such as the smell of birch, are strongly present. This sauna brings the freshness of summer and close to nature, offering a relaxing and refreshing experience. A summer sauna essentially includes birch bark and other traditional sauna elements.

Smoke - Savu

Savu sauna brings out the unique smell of a traditional smoke sauna without the challenge created by smoke. The aroma of the smoke sauna offers a relaxing and nostalgic experience. The structure resembles a traditional smoke sauna without smoke or soot floating in the air.

Scenery - Maisema

This sauna offers wonderful views of the surrounding nature in many directions. The fun round windows allow you to relax in the beautiful scenery and through them you can admire the surrounding forested nature - possibly even the northern lights.

Tar - Terva

A tar sauna is a sensory journey into Finnish tradition. Infused with the rich, smoky aroma of tar, this sauna envelops you in soothing warmth and the timeless essence of Lapland's forests, offering relaxation like no other. Tar has a huge role in Finnish history and what better than to enjoy the scent of it in sauna, another huge element in Finnish history. The scent is very strong, so embarce yourselves to experience something very spectacural.

Hut - Kota

Finnish sauna is deeply rooted in the nation's traditions, symbolizing a place for relaxation, cleansing, and socialization. The sauna is typically a small wooden room heated by a stove, often reaching temperatures between 70-100°C (158-212°F). The ritual involves alternating between the hot sauna and cooling off, either by taking a dip in a cold lake, rolling in the snow, or simply stepping outside.

Barrel - Tynnyri

The round shape of this sauna and the natural essence of the wood perfectly complement the scent of pine trees and the peace of the forest. The unique design of this sauna guarantees even heat and a pleasant sauna experience where you can enjoy the sounds and scenery of nature. The barrel sauna blends comfortably into the surrounding forest landscape, offering a relaxing moment amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Flake - Hiutale

Hiutale is Rovaniemi Sauna World’s charming mobile sauna – small, yet surprisingly spacious and atmospheric. During the day, Hiutale is part of the shared sauna world experience, but in the evenings it transforms into a private sauna retreat that can be reserved right next to your own chalet.
The name Hiutale means snowflake in Finnish – something light, beautiful, and unique, just like this sauna: gentle, present, and exactly where you want it to be.

Log floating - Uitto

Uitto is sauna is a tribute to the Finnish tradition of log floating and its history. It combines simple, rugged shapes with traditional wooden architecture, creating a sauna space that takes you straight to the roots of Finnish culture. The design draws inspiration from old floating-era saunas, where every detail tells the story of hard work and closeness to nature. Uitto sauna offers a peaceful place to relax, where different eras and cultures merge. It is a place where one can experience the essence of Finnish sauna tradition.

Warm outdoor hot tub

Finnish hot tub is a modern complement to the traditional sauna experience, emphasizing relaxation, socializing, and enjoying the outdoors. Often located in private homes, cottages, or outdoor terraces, Finnish hot tubs, typically heated by electricity or wood-burning stoves, provide a soothing warm water experience year-round, even in winter. The hot tub is often used in combination with a sauna, where people alternate between the intense heat of the sauna and the gentle warmth of the hot tub.

Traditional cold pool dip

Finnish ice swimming known asavanto swimming, is a beloved and invigorating tradition that involves taking a dip in icy water during the winter months. Often practiced in frozen lakes or rivers, a hole is cut into thick ice to create an opening, oravanto, where swimmers can immerse themselves. This activity is typically done after a sauna session, creating a dramatic contrast between the intense heat of the sauna and the freezing cold of the water.
