We want everyone to have a good experience in our saunas, so we need your help:

  • We encourage all guests to shower with hot water and soap before visiting the sauna. Outdoor showers are available at all our saunas if you do not have time to do this at home.
  • Everyone using the sauna must wear swimwear and sit on a towel in the sauna room.
  • Intoxication is not permitted in our saunas.
  • No food, smoke, snuff or other items that may contaminate or release odors are allowed in the sauna.
  • Remember to stick to the agreed time, so that the next visit also gets the time they have paid for.
  • Technical equipment in the changing room must never be touched, with the exception of the loudspeaker and charging station.
  • If you feel dizzy, experience palpitations or become unwell; Leave the sauna immediately.
  • Make sure that there are always two people in the sauna and keep an eye on each other when bathing. Check weather conditions.
  • Leave the sauna as you would like to find it; clean and tidy.
  • Wash benches with disinfectant before you leave.

All our saunas are equipped with a spacious changing room.

There are two swim ladders in front of the sauna for easy access to the sea.

With us, you can either book one or two hours. Remember to set aside enough time to change at the end of your visit so that it doesn’t affect your next visit.

We recommend that you bring two towels; one to sit on in the sauna and one to dry yourself with.

Also bring a large bottle of water, clothes that are easy to change into/out of and swimwear.

Our saunas have electric heaters that maintain a fixed temperature. If you want a “boost”, you can put water on the stove, 1-2 ladles at a time is plenty for good steam. Remember to NEVER use salt water on the oven. There is a tap in the sauna that can be used to fill the bucket with fresh water.

If you want to use essential oils in your sauna visit:

Never place oil directly on the stove, as this can lead to an unpleasant smell of smoke, damage to the stove and, in the worst case, ignite flammable vapors.

Tip: Mix a few drops of oil into the water bucket, or directly into a ladle of water, and pour over the stones to create a soft steam.

Use moderate amounts out of consideration for other guests who may react to such things, and rinse out the water in the bucket before you leave.
