Across the archipelago, wellness is part of everyday life — from traditional Finnish saunas and seaside yoga to ice swimming in clear, cold water. Discover places to relax, recharge, and experience Finnish wellness in Saaristo.
For the Finns, the sauna has been a tradition for thousands of years.
It’s a place where you step away from the hustle an bustle of your daily life, surrounded by the scent of wood and warm, cleansing steam.
The Finnish coast and its 40,000 islands are a hotspot for unique sauna experiences: you can try everything from sauna boats and smoke saunas to saunas inside rocky hills, and private saunas for rent on secluded islands. Most hotels and rental apartments in Finland have their own sauna!
