Sauna bathing comes with numerous health benefits; it’s relaxing and improves blood circulation. Additionally, it’s a pleasant way to socialize.
Rent a sauna raft and treat yourself to an extraordinary sauna experience. Luxurious, relaxing and close to nature! Sauna raft M/S Sauna Marin from Saunax has its home port in Mariehamn’s eastern harbour. Take a trip with or without a captain in the Slemmern bay and enjoy a sauna, a dip in the sea and pleasant socialising in the lounge or on the roof terrace.
Or, you can rent a floating sauna at Sandösund Resort in Vårdö. For a view beyond the ordinary, visit the wood-fired beach sauna at Degersand beach. Here you can enjoy the hot sauna, take refreshing dips in the sea and relax on the spacious seaside patio.
Hotel Brudhäll, right next to the jetty of Karlby Marina in Kökar, offers an architect-designed two-storey sauna with an accompanying jacuzzi.
Saunas and indoor pools are also available at HavsVidden Resort and at most of the hotels in Mariehamn.
If you long for a wood heated hot tub or sauna for your accommodation, you can rent one from AX Rent. They offer mobile saunas and hot tubs that are easy to transport on a trailer.
Winter Swimming
Winter swimming is another invigorating trend. Nowadays, almost everyone goes winter swimming - or dreams about it. Åland has the perfect conditions for swimming in the cold - here, it’s usually quite close to the closest pier.
For example, at the Mariebad swimming centre and Lilla Holmen beach in Mariehamn.
