Lakeside Sauna & Arctic Bath
About
A private spa is nice, but a private Arctic spa is way cooler! Step into our lakeside sauna and embrace the Finnish sauna culture, which is almost sacred to the locals. In the land of ice and snow, this is the one place you won’t feel cold! As throwing water onto the stove affects how hot it’s going to get, this experience is also suitable for kids – as an old Finnish saying goes: ‘Whosoever holds the sauna ladle has the power.’ A reinvigorating cold plunge into Lake Olkka completes the experience.
