About
Svette parks a trailer sauna on Owen Beach in Point Defiance Park, looking across Commencement Bay. Guests throw löyly on the stones, then cool off in the Puget Sound itself. Sessions are co-ed and swimwear is worn.
Good to know
- Mobile operator: the sauna travels, so the location is part of the booking. Check the current site before you arrive.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
