Let Out Steam - Time to Go to Sauna
Relax by the peaceful Ivalo River and experience Finnish sauna culture at its very best. In winter, the chimney of the traditional wood-heated sauna gently smokes in the crisp Arctic air, while the nearby ice hole invites you to cool off between the hot, soothing steam. In summer, you can enjoy your sauna session under the magical Midnight Sun, surrounded by the beautiful riverside scenery. For larger groups, we offer a modern electric sauna with a dedicated meeting space – perfect for team days, gatherings, or private events. Bigger groups can also reserve both saunas at once for a complete and exclusive experience. With multiple sauna options available, you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your needs.
Welcome to relax and unwind in Lapland.
