Sauna rules

Welcome to enjoy the Finnish sauna! The sauna is a place for relaxation and quiet. By following these rules, we ensure a pleasant and safe experience for everyone.

  • Wash yourself before entering the sauna – good hygiene is part of sauna culture.
  • You may wear a swimsuit in the shower; in the sauna, it is mandatory.
  • Use a seat cover on the benches for hygiene, even if wearing a swimsuit or swim trunks.
  • Avoid strong scents like perfumes or hair products.
  • Keep the sauna peaceful – avoid loud talking and noise.
  • Respect others’ sauna time. Don’t throw too much water on the stove – ask others before adding steam.
