Every sauna with a cold plunge in Seattle
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, and there are outdoor rinse showers.
Hot Rocks Sauna Club
$$Seattle, United States
A wood-fired cedar barrel sauna that sets up on the shore at Alki Beach Park in West Seattle, with the cold plunge taken in Puget Sound. Sessions run Thursday to Saturday and the barrel seats a dozen or so, and the exact spot on the beach follows the operator's parks permit. The barrel can also be hired privately.
Hothouse Spa & Sauna
$$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 longer slots. Gender inclusive, and open seven days a week.
