About Uusi Sauna
Explore the modern reinterpretation of the classic Finnish public sauna at Uusi Sauna, or "New Sauna." This innovative establishment has seamlessly blended traditional sauna practices with contemporary features, creating a multifaceted space that encompasses public saunas, a terrace, and a bar and bistro.
These saunas, accommodating approximately 20 bathers simultaneously, offer an authentic and rejuvenating experience. The use of wood pellet heating not only adds a touch of traditional warmth but also aligns with eco-friendly practices, contributing to a sustainable sauna experience.
The changing rooms at Uusi Sauna are thoughtfully designed, providing ample space and comfort for visitors. With 54 lockers in the men's department and 40 in the women's section, guests can easily prepare for their sauna session in a relaxed environment.
For those seeking a mixed-gender sauna experience, Uusi Sauna presents a separate electric-heated sauna available on weekends from 4 pm onwards (swimming suits or towels required). This contemporary addition caters to diverse preferences, offering a modern twist to the conventional Finnish sauna tradition. Additionally, the electric sauna can be reserved for private occasions, providing an exclusive setting for special events. Terhen organizes events that go beyond the traditional sauna visit, creating opportunities for groups to gather, relax, and enjoy well-being in this rejuvenated sauna space. The bar and bistro area complement the experience, offering a social setting to connect with others.
