Every sauna with a cold plunge in Pacific Northwest
Banya 5
$$Seattle, United States
A compact urban banya in South Lake Union, running since 2004, blending Russian, Turkish, Finnish and Japanese bathing in one facility. The core circuit is a parilka, eucalyptus steam room, ice bath, saltwater pool and hot tub. Platza treatments, a nap room and massage sit alongside.
Bywater Sauna
$$Seattle, United States
Sauna sessions run beside open water at Golden Gardens and Alki Beach, with two further sites through the colder months. Sessions of 60 or 75 minutes are booked online in advance, and guests cycle between the sauna and the water at their own pace. Bring your own towel; there are outdoor rinse showers.
Ebb & Ember Floating Saunas
$$Portland, United States
A floating cedar sauna moored at Elevated Tides Marina on the Columbia River in north Portland, with a deck for lounging and a cold plunge straight into the water. Sessions run just under two hours, either shared with other guests or booked privately for a group of up to ten.
Everett House
$Portland, United States
A clothing-optional community healing centre spread across two craftsman houses in Portland's Kerns neighbourhood. Two saunas, a steam room, a salt hot tub, two clawfoot cold plunge tubs, an outdoor shower and a fire patio. Co-ed most of the week, with women-only and LGBTQ-only sessions.
Hot Rocks Sauna Club
$$Seattle, United States
A wood-fired cedar barrel sauna that sets up on the shore at Alki Beach Park in West Seattle, with the cold plunge taken in Puget Sound. Sessions run Thursday to Saturday and the barrel seats a dozen or so; the exact spot on the beach follows the operator's parks permit. The barrel can also be hired privately.
Hothouse Spa & Sauna
$$Seattle, United States
A small Capitol Hill bathhouse taken privately, one group at a time: a cedar sauna, a herbal steam room, a tiled hot tub, a cold plunge shower and a relaxation area. Bookings run from 90 minutes to three hours and cover up to four people, with room for eight on the longer slots. It is gender inclusive and open seven days a week.
Knot Springs
$$Portland, United States
A members-led wellness club on the third floor of the Eastside Exchange building in Portland. Hot pools, sauna, steam room and cold plunge look out over the Willamette and downtown. Day passes are bookable for non-members, alongside the gym and treatment menu.
