Stockholm: Traditional Sauna with Polar Plunge in Baltic Sea

Step into Swedish tradition with a private sauna session in the heart of the Stockholm Archipelago. This authentic experience invites you to unwind in a wood-fired sauna before braving a revitalizing plunge into the chilly Baltic Sea, a ritual cherished by locals for generations.

Located at the waterfront kayak base in Vaxholm, the sauna is pre-warmed and ready for your arrival, ensuring immediate comfort. You and your group will have exclusive use of the facilities, creating a relaxed, intimate atmosphere perfect for friends or family.

Part of the charm is tending to the fire yourself, with wood provided on-site to keep the sauna at a soothing 60 to 80 degrees Celsius. After each heat, step out onto the jetty and immerse yourself in the sea, embracing the invigorating contrast between warmth and cold.

Facilities include towels, a changing room, outdoor seating, and a portable toilet. There is no shower, as the tradition is to cool off with a dip in the sea. Swimsuits are optional, but bringing one is recommended if you prefer not to go nude.

This 1.5-hour sauna and sea plunge is available year-round, with the coldest, most exhilarating swims in winter and refreshing dips during summer. Secure your spot now for a truly memorable Swedish wellness experience.
