The fleet

Three saunas from the Nordic Elegance series: same charred-timber shell, same honeycomb interior, sized for different properties. Every unit rides its own trailer and arrives ready to fire.

The Grande — a long charred-timber sauna with a full panoramic glass wall and two glowing rooms

Grande

8 guests · two rooms · panoramic double glass

The flagship. A full glass wall, a changing room, and space for a crowd. Built for hotels, retreat weeks and properties where the sauna is the main event, not the amenity.

  • Saunum air-mixing heater, even heat floor to ceiling
  • Backlit honeycomb cedar wall, warm & ice scenes
  • Changing room with hooks, bench and towel rail

from $1,800/month on a 12-month lease

The Medium — a cube sauna with corner glass and tiered benches around the heater

Medium

6 guests · corner glass · tiered benches

The one most properties choose. Big enough for a family or a retreat group, compact enough for a rental's back deck, with the same floor-to-ceiling glass and glowing interior as the flagship.

  • Saunum heater with a tower of stones for soft, even steam
  • Full-height corner glazing, dusk-rated LED scenes
  • Fits a standard double parking bay

from $1,350/month on a 12-month lease

The Mini — a compact glass-fronted sauna cube glowing from within

Mini

4 guests · one glass wall · plunge-ready

The gateway sauna. Small footprint, full ritual. Pairs beautifully with a cold-plunge barrel for a complete contrast setup in the space of a single parking spot.

  • Heats to ninety in under forty minutes
  • Same honeycomb interior, scaled to four
  • Lightest unit — easiest siting and relocation

from $995/month on a 12-month lease

Twenty minutes at ninety degrees. Ninety seconds in the cold. The oldest recovery protocol on earth — rebuilt on a trailer, glowing outside your door by Friday.

No permits, no construction, no capital outlay. A sauna arrives finished: charred timber outside, honeycomb cedar and layered Saunum heat inside. It leaves the same way, whenever you choose.

01 The heat

Ninety degrees of stillness

The Saunum heater layers steam so the heat wraps instead of bites. Cedar overhead, ember light in the honeycomb wall, heart rate climbing like a slow hill. Stay twenty minutes. Say nothing.

02 The cold

Then the cold takes over

Step out into winter air, a lake, a plunge barrel: the blue half of the ritual. Ninety seconds is enough for dopamine that lasts hours, and sleep that arrives like architecture.

Delivered, leveled and glowing before the weekend books out.

Where it lands

A sauna changes what a property is. Nightly rates climb, winter seasons fill, retreats sell out. And when the lease ends, the trailer simply rolls away.

Built where sauna was born

Our units are crafted in Finland's sauna country and run hot at public forums before they ever reach a customer. Real steam, real winters, real sessions — that's the QA process.

Every lease comes with a specialist who has actually thrown water on these stones. Ask them anything: siting, power, plunge pairings, guest etiquette signage.

Meet your specialist

Before you ask

What does my property need?

A level spot roughly the size of a double parking bay, and a standard power connection (we confirm amperage per model; wood-fired options exist for off-grid sites). Because the sauna stays on its trailer, most areas treat it as a vehicle rather than a structure, so no building permit. We verify local rules with you before delivery.

How fast can it arrive?

If a unit is in the yard, typically within two weeks of a signed lease: one visit to confirm siting and power, one morning to deliver, level and fire it up. You pour the first water that evening.

What's included in the monthly rate?

Delivery and pickup, siting and leveling, heater and stone servicing every eight weeks, a guest-ready care kit, and a specialist on call. Utilities (power, water) stay on your meter.

Can my guests use it? Is that insured?

Yes — commercial guest use is the point. Units carry commercial liability cover for normal sauna operation; we provide signage, house rules and a quick operator briefing so your team is comfortable from night one.

Who cleans and maintains it?

Day-to-day wipe-downs work like any amenity: your housekeeping, five minutes, products included in the care kit. Everything technical (heater, stones, timber oiling, trailer) is ours, on a scheduled cycle.

Can I extend, swap models, or buy the unit?

All three. Extensions re-price to the longer-term rate, mid-lease upsizes are one delivery away, and if the property can't live without it, we'll quote a buyout against paid lease months.

Talk to a specialist.

Fifteen minutes, no script. Tell us about the property; we'll tell you which sauna fits, what it needs, and exactly what the lease will cost.
