Rantasauna
Helsinki, Finland
About
A seaside sauna building in the grounds of Hotel Rantapuisto in Vuosaari, with room for fourteen, an electric stove and a terrace looking out over the archipelago. Steps lead down to a jetty for a dip in the sea, though there is no ice hole in winter. Weekend shifts are ticketed, and groups can hire it.
Good to know
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Electric stove: quicker to bring up to temperature, easier to control, and what most urban bathhouses run.
