Bastu Paus

About

A wood-fired sauna set up by the water at Västra Hamnen in Malmö, running as a seasonal pop-up. Sessions are shared, with a quiet guided ritual and private bookings for groups of up to twelve. Bathers cool off in the open sea between rounds.

Good to know

• Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
• Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
• Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
• Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
• Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.

• Hours not listed

Seasonal pop-up: the current run is 5 September to 18 October.
