The Sauna Wānaka

Warm yourself up with a unique and authentic sauna experience right on the lakefront of Wānaka. The Sauna Wānaka offers a hot and steamy wood-fired Finnish fireplace with different sessions to choose from and a huge window to enjoy the snow-capped mountain view. Should you so desire, you can enjoy a cold dip in the lake in between sauna rounds as contrast therapy.

Try the flagship Guided Session for a complete experience of facilitated steam, essential oils, music, and meditation. If you feel like chatting with friends, book the Self-Guided Social Session or for relaxed silence, try the Self-Guided Session. Private bookings are also available so you can have the whole sauna to yourself (up to 12 people). The Sauna Wānaka is located close to the town centre but is completely surrounded by nature—come to relax, unwind, and experience a sauna out in the wild.

The Sauna Wānaka

Beyond belief location. We took the tranquil and silent session. A must if you are wanting to relax and reset for your trip. Highly recommend 👌 going to The Sauna at any stage of your trip. The 'freezing' dip in the lake was as expected with the views of Mt Aspiring at your door step. The Sauna was extraordinary, very tidy and the host was very informative. Great waiting area is an undercover dome and a place to leave clothes while in the sauna. Showers available if you don't want to brave the cold dip. Overall the best sauna experience for a tiny cost

Absolutely fabulous

One of the highlights of our trip, such a lovely way to spend the evening. We attended the guided session and we're led through breath work and stretching activities which helped us through the 15 mins of heat each session. Would definitely recommend, we felt so relaxed after!

Very nice, would recommend.

Be careful about the location (there are two, one for Jan-Feb which is about 25min drive away if you did so happen to arrive at the wrong one!) otherwise highly recommend, very relaxing and beautiful scenery.
