Every aufguss sauna in Canada
Ærth Saunas
$$Victoria, Canada
Ærth is a sauna village in Victoria's James Bay with three saunas, a cold plunge and a covered outdoor fire area to linger between rounds. A daily aufguss ritual adds guided essential-oil rounds, and sessions run as drop-ins, private bookings or full buy-outs. Relaxed and outdoorsy rather than clinical.
Kolm Kontrast
$$$Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver's largest sauna, a 50-person room running 82 to 90°C with aromatherapy aufguss sessions. Four ice baths sit at 0 to 3°C, with a tea lounge for afterwards. Sessions run 75 minutes, self-guided or class-based, and weekend after-hours slots add music and lower lighting.
Othership Adelaide
$$Toronto, Canada
Othership's downtown Toronto bathhouse runs sauna as a guided group ritual. A cavernous cedar room with sound and lighting, pairs of two-person cold plunges, and breathwork-led classes from high-energy to near-silent. You book a session type rather than dropping in, and there is an elixir bar for afterwards.
Othership Yorkville
$$Toronto, Canada
Othership's Yorkville location is the brand's flagship. A 90-person performance sauna in Western Red Cedar, eight individual ice baths, and an amphitheatre-style tea lounge wrapped around a fireplace. Sessions are booked as guided classes or free-flow, ranging from loud and social to quiet and meditative.
RECESS Thermal Station
$$Montreal, Canada
RECESS is a Griffintown thermal station built for the contrast ritual. A roughly 50-seat sauna, a cold plunge and a quiet relaxation lounge, run as 75-minute booked sessions, guided or free-flow. Showers, lockers and a tea station make it an in-and-out city reset rather than a destination spa.
