Sauna World is a combination of Finnish and outdoor saunas, Roman baths, an outdoor Scandinavian cabin and Russian style sauna. All types of saunas have their own unique ceremonies and essential oils which are prepared for visitors by experienced sauna masters.
There are 13 saunas operating between 60 deg C and 110 deg C, with Aufgass type rituals held every half hour. Some rituals even have a novelty element with one being a “beer ceremony” that you have to pre-reserve. The ceremonies are extremely popular being completely full with children sitting on the floor. The ceremonies included music and clapping and even the 2 sauna masters throwing ice at the sauna goers. After a sauna showers, wells with crushed ice and classic plunge pools are available and recommended.

The Roman area is style indoor pool is surrounded by saunas and a steam room area. The two outside spas are close by to a cold plunge pool, for an invigorating dip afterwards.
The lounging area whilst not expansive, has a section both inside and outside with a small sun deck area.
The Crowd is a mixed of all ages with couples, groups, singles, with no shortage of families and it can get busy – especially on weekends.
