Saunalautta Hiisi
Helsinki, Finland
About
A wood-heated sauna raft moored at Taivallahti in Töölö, with a roof terrace, a shower and room for ten on the benches. Public hourly turns are booked online seat by seat, and the whole raft can be taken privately; in summer it leaves the dock for anchored cruises for up to twelve. Swimming is straight off the deck.
Good to know
- 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.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
Hours
