Sauna With A Finn

Sauna With A Finn is an experience where a Finnish host, or a person deeply familiar with Finnish sauna culture, guides guests through a holistic Finnish sauna experience. Finnish sauna culture is internationally recognised and was inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2020.

The experience unfolds calmly, with sauna understood as part of everyday life, recovery, presence, and relaxation. Sauna With A Finn is based on the Finnish way of sauna as it exists today and as it has lived in Finland across generations.

What the experience includes

Each Sauna With A Finn experience is realised according to the location, season, and the wishes of the sauna guests. The core experience includes the following elements.

Sauna textiles and essentials

The textiles used during the sauna experience are designed specifically for sauna use. Guests receive a sauna hat and a sauna bag to take with them. For the duration of the experience, guests are provided with a towel, sauna robe, sandals, and, if needed, swimwear.

Sauna scents

The sauna experience may be enriched with natural sauna scents. If a scent-free sauna is preferred, this should be mentioned at the time of booking.

Cooling down and cold elements

Sauna With A Finn typically includes cooling down as a natural counterbalance to the heat. This may include swimming in natural waters, rolling in snow, an ice plunge barrel, cold showers, or other forms of natural cooling.

As part of the cooling-down moments, traditional Finnish sauna drinks are also offered to support hydration and refreshment.

A tailored experience

Sauna With A Finn is a thoughtfully unfolding sauna experience guided by tradition, place, and moment.

Optional – Additional services

Whisking and the use of a whisk

The use of a sauna whisk is an essential part of Finnish sauna culture. Whisking adds rhythm to the sauna experience, supports relaxation, and brings a sense of the forest into the sauna, adding depth and layers to the traditional Finnish sauna experience.

A light sauna treatment

As an optional addition, a short sauna treatment may be included as part of the sauna moment. Treatments are based on Finnish natural products and vary according to the day, place, and conditions. The intention is to complement the sauna experience rather than separate it into a distinct treatment.
