Every sauna in the Ember atlas with a 2026 opening date, newest at the bottom of each group. The United Kingdom, where most of the current wave is happening, comes first, then everywhere else. For why 2026 looks the way it does, see The UK Sauna Boom, Mapped.
This is a running list, recomputed from the live atlas. Venues appear here as they open and get dated. A date shown to the day or month is press- or operator-confirmed; a year-only date is the precision we could verify.
