A Traditional Nordic Sauna Experience Easy To Reach From Harleston
Sauna Hus follows the traditional Nordic style of sauna bathing.
Rather than a quick visit, sauna is enjoyed in slow rounds of heat and cooling.
Guests sit in the warmth of the sauna, allowing the body to relax and the heat to build gradually. After several minutes, they step outside into fresh air to cool down before returning for another round.
This rhythm of heat, cool air and rest is what many people find deeply calming.
One of the defining parts of the sauna experience is löyly, the steam created when water is poured onto the hot stones.

Many sauna enthusiasts believe löyly is what truly brings the sauna to life.
