Finnish outdoor sauna

A Finnish outdoor sauna is perhaps the purest form of outdoor relaxation. Based on centuries-old traditions from Finland, where taking a sauna is as normal as brushing your teeth. At Welvaere , we bring this tradition to your garden with modern techniques, beautiful wood and thoughtful designs. Want to combine the benefits of intense dry heat with the tranquility of your own garden? Then a Finnish outdoor sauna is exactly what you are looking for.

What is a Finnish outdoor sauna?

An outdoor Finnish sauna is a sauna that is placed outside and uses dry heat, with temperatures between 70 and 100 degrees Celsius. The humidity is low, allowing your body to sweat and detoxify vigorously.

The difference from, say, an infrared cabin or steam room? The Finnish sauna offers traditional, intense heat that really puts your body to work.

Is a Finnish sauna good for you?

Yes, absolutely. A Finnish sauna is not only good for your relaxation, but also for your body. Here are some proven benefits:

  • Stimulates blood circulation, providing better oxygen and nutrient distribution in your body.
  • Helps your body detoxify through intense sweating.
  • Strengthens your immune system, especially when combined with cold showers or a soaking bath.
  • Relieves muscle pain and stress, perfect after a long day or hard workout.
  • Improving your sleep as your body comes to rest after warming up and cooling down.

In short, a Finnish sauna contributes to both your physical and mental health.

The benefits of an outdoor Finnish sauna

An outdoor Finnish sauna is an investment you will reap the benefits of every day. The benefits:

  • Total disconnect from your day and environment, just in your backyard.
  • Intense heat therapy that calms your body and mind.
  • Fresh outdoor air between sessions, making your experience complete.
  • Low maintenance and durable, especially when using thermally modified wood.
  • Increases the value of your home, and makes your garden multi-functional.

With a Finnish sauna, you not only give yourself relaxation, but also more quality of life.

Our barrel sauna: The Tønsauna

Barrel saunas provide optimal relaxation and freedom. With a barrel sauna you never have to visit a wellness resort again, you just have this in your own backyard. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life was rarely so accessible and close at hand. Carefree relaxation and letting time slip by is then not difficult at all, in a barrel sauna it happens all by itself.

Types of Finnish outdoor saunas

Not every Finnish sauna is the same. At Welvaere you choose from different models with different options, tailored to your needs and style:

  • Barrel saunas.: The round shape provides efficient air circulation and rapid heating.
  • Panoramic saunas: For those who want to enjoy the beautiful view while sweating.
  • Compact models: Ideal for smaller gardens or urban gardens.
  • Spacious models: Suitable for larger gardens and parties.
  • Custom saunas: You choose the size, layout and finish, wood-fired or electric, we build it.

All saunas are suitable for outdoor use, with durable materials that will last for years.

How long are you allowed in a Finnish sauna?

A Finnish sauna session lasts on average between 10 and 15 minutes per round. Afterwards, you cool your body with a cold shower, plunge bath or simply outdoors and take a rest. A complete session often consists of 2 or 3 rounds, which amounts to about 45 to 60 minutes total.

Always listen carefully to your body. Have you just started using saunas? Then start with shorter sessions and build up slowly. And, always drink well afterwards!

Finnish sauna installed in the garden

An outdoor Finnish sauna will look its best if you place it smartly in the garden. Here are our tips:

  • Choose a quiet corner of the garden where you have privacy.
  • Provide a good surface, such as a wooden deck or tiles.
  • Water nearby? Top! A cold plunge spot or plunge pool enhances the sauna effect.
  • Consider the view. With a whole or half panoramic window, for example, you look out on your garden or the water.
  • Keep in mind distance from your home so you can easily access it even in winter.

At Welvaere , we will of course advise you personally on this so that you choose the perfect spot.

The electric sauna heaters

Convenience, fast heat and practicality. Three words that perfectly describe our electric sauna heaters. During dinner, you make sure the heater is turned on and the moment you want to relax in the sauna, it is warm. How nice is that?

The electric sauna heaters from HUUM and Harvia all give you the opportunity to organize your own infusion. Because the heaters contain enough stones and because of the round shape of the sauna, you can have a perfectly fragrant infusion. And this can be done at home, always on power.

These are our electric sauna heaters:

  • HUUM Hive Electric
  • Harvia Cilindro
  • Harvia Vega

Wood-fired sauna heaters

It doesn't get any closer to the traditional sauna. By heating the sauna with a fire you create a unique atmosphere inside the sauna. The smell of the burning wood and the atmosphere of the dancing fire give the sauna a completely different experience than an electrically heated sauna.

And also on these sauna heaters you have the option of pouring on. With the raw stones from Harvia and the rolled stones from HUUM you can create a wonderful steaming heat in no time.


These are our wood-fired sauna heaters:

  • HUUM Hive Wood
  • Harvia M3

Built by us or DIY

Not for nothing do 95% of our customers choose this option; construction in your own garden. In the morning, a team of sauna builders comes to your garden to build the sauna in the desired location.

Unique in the Netherlands and Belgium is that we build the sauna entirely in your garden, if you choose that option. We have several teams that come to build the sauna in the Netherlands and Belgium. Perfect, because this way we take a lot of work off your hands.

You can also choose to roll up your sleeves and build the sauna yourself. For this, however, it is important that you are handy and technically inclined.


Perfect for all days of the year

Many people crawl into the sauna in winter to warm up. That's also where the idea of the sauna comes from, in Finland. How nice is it when you can walk down a white path to your outdoor sauna and crawl into bed completely warmed up and rosy? We know that all too well. 

Did you know that using the sauna in the summer is also perfect? You can handle the heat better because your body gets used to it. It is a boost to your health and you also get a more beautiful tan. So no more reason to skip the sauna in summer.

Countless possibilities for your outdoor sauna

Our saunas are designed to help you relax. Take a seat on the wooden benches, lean back, stretch your legs, and enjoy the warmth of the sauna heater.

With an outdoor sauna from Welvaere , you are guaranteed comfort, simplicity and masterful quality. We therefore make every sauna completely to your specifications. For example, you choose whether you want a panorama window, LED lighting or comfort furnishings.
