Floating sauna and traditional lakeside sauna
Relax in Uhkua’s floating sauna on the gentle waters of Lake Saimaa or enjoy the atmosphere of our 200-year-old log sauna by the shore. Looking for something different? We also rent a tent sauna. See our equipment rental page for more information.
Both saunas are located in Nikinsalmi, Ristiina [map]. A short row in a traditional wooden boat takes you to the floating sauna. During the colder months, both the floating sauna and the raft cabin are moved closer to the shore for easier access. The raft cabin can also be heated to serve as a changing room if needed. The old lakeside sauna offers a truly traditional Finnish sauna experience. The changing room is unheated, following the old Finnish sauna traditions.
The floating sauna is available for rent from May 1 to October 30, and the lakeside sauna from June 1 to September 30. Ask about availability at other times.
