Which sauna would you send a friend to? Tell us, and say why in a line. The ones named most go up here, in your words.
One pick each, per season. We read every one and count them by hand. Nobody can pay to be a favourite.
Every price, session time and booking link comes from the sauna’s own website or booking page, and each one shows the date we checked it. Prices change, so check with them before you go.
Nobody pays to be on the list, and nobody can pay to be picked. If you run a sauna, or found one we haven’t, send it to us.
Inish makes wool felt sauna hats for people who go most days. The list is free to use and free to be on. See the hat.
