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

Nice scenery
It was a good experience ,an guided experience with some breaks every 15 min and during this time I swam into the lake.

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!

Summit to Sauna: A Must-Do!
We booked the social session as we hiked to Roys Peak to watch the sunrise and thought this would be great to round out the day. So happy with our decision to have the sauna afterwards as it has helped our recovery and our bodies felt awesome. The dip in the outlet was refreshing between each session and the views just make it even more special.
