Floating Sauna – Authentic Finnish Sauna Experience on Water

Imagine stepping out from the soft warmth of the sauna, taking a few steps along the pier, and cooling off directly in the water.

Fresh air on your skin. The calming presence of nature around you. The timeless contrast between heat and cold.

This is sauna at its best.

At Hetki, we design and build authentic Finnish log saunas for people and businesses looking for something truly special. We are therefore proud to introduce one of our newest concepts: the Floating Hetki Sauna.

Created in partnership with Savorak Oy, a Finnish company renowned for premium floating structures and waterfront solutions, the Floating Hetki Sauna combines authentic Finnish sauna craftsmanship with a durable, professionally engineered floating platform.

The result is a complete floating sauna solution where the sauna becomes a natural part of the surrounding landscape, waterfront environment, and overall experience.

Whether placed on a peaceful lake, along a rugged coastline, beside a private waterfront home, or as part of a hospitality or wellness destination, a floating Hetki Sauna offers an unforgettable way to enjoy an authentic outdoor sauna experience close to the water.

Authentic Finnish Sauna. Premium Floating Solution.

Every Hetki Sauna is handcrafted in Finland using high-quality Finnish timber and built according to the principles of authentic Finnish sauna culture.

Our premium Finnish outdoor log saunas are designed to provide exceptional löyly, timeless aesthetics, and durability measured in decades rather than years. Each project can be tailored to your surroundings, intended use, and personal preferences.

From private lakeside homes and backyard retreats to boutique hotels, resorts, spas, and commercial wellness destinations, we create sauna experiences that are built to last and designed to bring people together.

Delivered fully assembled and ready for use, a Hetki Sauna offers a truly hassle-free experience. We take care of the details so that you can focus on enjoying the warmth, wellbeing, relaxation, presence, and connection that only a genuine Finnish sauna can provide.

Hetki × Savorak – A Finnish Partnership Built on Quality

The Floating Hetki Sauna is the result of a collaboration between two Finnish companies that share a commitment to exceptional quality, thoughtful design, long-lasting durability, and customer satisfaction.

While serving customers internationally, both Hetki and Savorak trace their roots back to the small municipality of Rantasalmi in South Savo, Finland.

Located in the heart of the Lake Saimaa region, Europe's largest lake district, Rantasalmi is a place where life has always been closely connected to water, nature, and craftsmanship. With a population of approximately 3,200 people and an estimated 3,500 saunas, sauna is not considered a luxury there. It is simply a way of life.

Perhaps it is only natural that a floating sauna concept would emerge from a place where water, craftsmanship, and sauna culture have always belonged together.

Hetki contributes authentic Finnish sauna expertise, handcrafted log sauna craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of traditional sauna culture.

Savorak is known for premium piers and floating solutions engineered to withstand demanding Nordic conditions. Their products combine durability, functionality, and elegant design, making them an ideal foundation for floating sauna projects.

Together, Hetki and Savorak create complete floating sauna solutions that combine authentic Finnish sauna experiences with premium waterfront infrastructure.

Whether the project is a private lakeside retreat, a waterfront residence, a boutique hotel, a wellness destination, or a commercial sauna facility, every floating sauna is tailored to its surroundings and the customer's vision.

With one trusted partnership managing the complete solution, the process is straightforward from planning to installation.

Designed for Wellbeing, Built for Decades

A floating sauna offers something more than a traditional sauna building.

It creates a unique connection between sauna, water, and nature. The surroundings become part of the experience. The water invites you to cool off after sauna. The changing seasons create new experiences throughout the year.

Whether enjoying a summer swim, watching autumn colors reflected on the water, or stepping into an ice hole during winter, a floating sauna offers memorable moments in every season.

For those seeking a truly distinctive waterfront sauna experience, it is difficult to imagine a more natural setting.

Like all Hetki Saunas, our floating sauna solutions are designed not only to look beautiful on the day they are installed, but to provide decades of enjoyment. We believe that exceptional sauna experiences are created through quality craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, and thoughtful design that stands the test of time.

Experience a Floating Sauna on a pier at Lahden Nosturi

The floating Hetki Sauna pictured above is located at Lahden Nosturi in Lahti, Finland, a unique year-round sauna destination on the shores of beautiful Lake Vesijärvi.

Lahden Nosturi offers visitors the opportunity to experience Finnish sauna culture through five completely different saunas, each with its own character and atmosphere. Together they showcase the diversity of Finnish sauna traditions and modern sauna experiences in one remarkable waterfront location.

One of the highlights is the floating Hetki Sauna, where visitors can step directly from the sauna onto the pier and into Lake Vesijärvi. During winter, the experience continues with traditional Finnish ice swimming through an avanto, an ice hole maintained for cold-water bathing.

Whether you are a first-time visitor to Finland or a lifelong sauna enthusiast, Lahden Nosturi offers an authentic way to experience the unique connection between sauna, water, nature, and wellbeing.

Whether you are coming from near or far, we warmly recommend experiencing this special place for yourself.
