Different Sauna Types

Saunas are more than just heated rooms; they’re a cultural cornerstone in Northern Europe, offering relaxation, rejuvenation, and social connection for centuries. At Saunas del Norte, we bring this authentic sauna experience to Spain, France, and Portugal, directly from the lands where sauna culture thrives. We offer a variety of high-quality saunas, hot tubs, and wooden cabins, crafted with the expertise and tradition of Northern Europe. But before you choose your perfect sauna, let’s explore the different types available:

The Classics:

Finnish Sauna

The quintessential sauna experience, featuring dry heat (typically 70-100°C) and low humidity. This classic sauna promotes detoxification, improves circulation, and eases muscle tension. We offer beautiful Finnish saunas made from high-quality spruce or hemlock, perfect for creating your own slice of Nordic serenity.

Russian Sauna

Similar to the Finnish sauna, but with even higher temperatures (up to 130°C) and the addition of steam created by throwing water on hot stones. This intense heat is followed by a refreshing plunge in a cold pool, invigorating the body and mind.

Unique Variations:

Smoke Sauna

An ancient tradition, the smoke sauna uses wood smoke to heat the room, infusing it with a unique aroma and therapeutic properties. This authentic experience is not for everyone due to the smoky environment, but for those seeking a truly traditional sauna bath, it’s an unforgettable option.

Turkish Hammam

Also known as a steam bath, the Hammam uses lower temperatures (40-50°C) and high humidity to create a deeply relaxing and cleansing experience. Invigorating body scrubs and massages are often part of the Hammam tradition.

Modern Innovations

Aroma Sauna

Enhance your sauna experience with the addition of essential oils, diffusing calming or invigorating scents to personalize your session and target specific wellness goals. Many of our saunas come equipped with aroma diffuser systems.

Infrared Sauna

Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, infrared saunas use infrared light to directly heat your body, promoting deeper penetration and potential health benefits. This type of sauna operates at lower temperatures (40-60°C) making it more tolerable for some users.

Beyond the List

This list just scratches the surface! Other saunas include the Japanese Ganbanyoku (heated ceramic bed sauna), the German Aufguss (sauna with aromatic infusions), and the Salt Sauna, known for its respiratory benefits.

Remember: Consulting a healthcare professional before using any sauna, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions, is crucial.
