Vinterbadarnas Bastu
Öckerö, Sweden
About
A wood-fired sauna on Öckerö in the Gothenburg archipelago, set a few steps from the bathing place. The whole cabin is hired out to the public rather than sold by the seat. It takes its name from the island's winter bathers, who swim off the shore beside it.
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.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
