About Ember

Ember is a curated sauna discovery platform. We hand-pick the best saunas in cities around the world — from traditional Finnish saunas in Helsinki to wood-fired barrels on the Edinburgh waterfront.

We believe the best saunas are worth seeking out. Not every sauna makes the cut. We look for places with genuine character: dedicated sauna experiences run by people who care about the craft, not gym amenities or hotel add-ons.

Every sauna on Ember has been researched and vetted against our editorial standards. We consider the quality of the sauna experience, the setting, community feel, and what makes each place distinctive.

The Ember app

The Ember iOS app lets you discover saunas on the go, collect stamps for places you've visited, and build your sauna passport. It connects to the same curated directory you see on this website.
