Aqua Dome, Austria
Skiing followed by a trip to the sauna… In Austria, the most popular country for skiers, many
hotels and holiday rentals offer this service for their visitors. The combination sounds like
absolute paradise! Our top sauna recommendation is the Aqua Dome. An area of over 2000
square metres awaits you at the Aqua Dome in Längenfeld, Tyrol. Here you can experience
many spectacular saunas and on Friday evenings swim in the thermal pools under the
moonlight. Romantic, isn’t it? aqua-dome.at
St Michaels Resort, England
If you don’t fancy taking a trip out of the country, don’t worry as there are an abundance of
dreamy spas right here in the United Kingdom. Our favourite? The luxury St Michaels Resort,
which offers a world-class hydrothermal spa equipped with a Finnish-style sauna, Cornish sea
salt steam room and a hydrotherapy swimming pool big enough to make your head spin. With
a panoramic view overlooking the coast, the outdoor barrel sauna and hot tub make for the
perfect viewing spot to watch the sun go down. stmichaelsresort.com
Löyly, Finland
The Finnish are considered to be the inventors of the sauna, they even have one up in their
Parliament House in Helsinki! With saunas considered as an integral part of Finnish culture, it
is clear that this is the dream destination for this activity. Löyly (meaning steam in Finnish) is
located on the Helsinki coast and offers a beautiful setting with saunas, a restaurant, solarium,
bar, and terrace, where you can also enjoy some live music. This is an authentic hot-spot in
an environment totally respectful of nature. loylyhelsinki.fi
Sanduny Bath House, Russia
Cold in Russia? This is a well known fact… maybe that’s why in this country the traditional
sauna, known as banya, reaches up to 100 degrees at least. Sauna means heat for your body
and tranquility for your soul. Here it’s common practice for hats to be worn and it is not
surprising that with such warmth it is best to lie down so that both your head and feet are at
the same temperature. The Sanduny Bath House is the oldest sauna in Russia, with its
magnificent architecture and fairytale decoration, you will feel like royalty whilst enjoying all the
benefits of the sauna and thermal pools. msk.sanduny.ru
Vabali, Germany
Germans are also addicted to this activity, which is reflected in the tremendous amount of
public saunas available, especially found linked with swimming pools or gyms. Of course, in
true German style, everything is well organised and it is said that you have to be inside the
sauna for at least 15 minutes for it to be really beneficial. To escape the hustle and bustle of
Berlin, take a sauna session at Vabali, very close to the central station, but isolated at the
same time. You will find different types of saunas, from a Russian banya to a panoramic sauna
that will transport you into the perfect setting with its unbeatable garden views. vabali.de
Luxurious villa with sauna, Spain
Public saunas are not very common in Spain, so why not rent a holiday home with a private
sauna instead? With a bit of luck, even in beautiful Mallorca, you can find a stunning
accommodation that comes complete with a sauna. This Majorca holiday home, for example,
has its own sauna in the garden on a 10,000 m² plot of land near Alcúdia. The villa
accommodates up to eight people and you will have the entire property, outdoor heated pool
and private spa to yourselves. This might actually be heaven on earth!
