Lofoten Sauna - Svolvær

Fin badstue. Fine bademuligheter. Men kaos med mange flere enn 12 inne og i garderobe. Dyrt i forhold til kaos med mange folk.

I had an early afternoon booking that I made online the previous day and I had the sauna to myself for a public session which was a nice surprise! There are bathrooms around the corner from the sauna and there is a nice changing area inside split by gender. There is a shower for hot/cold water just outside the sauna and several areas where you can plunge or swim in the ocean spread around the outside. The sauna itself has a very nice view of the bridge area which I loved! You could control the intensity of the heat yourself which was nice as well. I found the 1h booking time to be just enough time for a few plunges into the ocean and sauna. All in all, I had a wonderful experience here!

Sauna was fine. Was really looking forward to jumping off the roof but the water was stinky and there was gunk in the water, so we didn’t dare go in. They do not provide towels either.

Very nice! They added padding and wood on the floor so the burning feet on rocks is not an issue anymore. The sauna was very hot (89-90 degrees), I dont know if they changed the rock heater but the temperature was great. Super fun to jump from the roof. Great experience and the service was absolutely amazing, I forgot my jacket and they kept it safe and shipped it back to Canada for me. Such kind people!

Un sauna bien chauffé avec des toilettes et des douches à disposition. On peut également sauter dans la mer du haut du sauna. Le lieu est assez propre et propose aussi des vestiaires. Le personnel qui nous accueille est très aimable. Je recommande

Bell’idea e bell’esperienza! La vista non è delle migliori ma comunque suggestiva. Ottima la possibilità di tuffarsi subito in acqua fresca dal tetto della sauna.
Un po’ caotico l’atrio degli spogliatoi (poco spazio). Inoltre non vi è controllo; quando ci siamo andati noi c’erano più di 12 persone in sauna…e tante sedute o sdraiate senza asciugamano direttamente sul legno, peccato.

Whoever built this sauna clearly had no previous sauna building experience. The ceramic tiles on the floor get burning hot, and even the wood on the floor is so hot you can't stand on it without jumping around. It's not the right wood for a sauna. People sitting on the lower bench had towels under their feet to not get burnt. The wood on the benches is also starting to fall apart, I've never seen that before in a sauna.

Apart from that, the sauna is very large and the stove is in the corner of the room, so naturally the heat doesn't really disperse very evenly.

I also had issues getting into the sauna at all (the digital door unlocking system didn't work), and lost 15 min of time due to that. The reception was closed but thankfully a staff member was still around the building and was eventually able to open it after making some calls.

Jumping from the roof is fun though, so you get a star for that!

Overall it was a lovely experience at the sauna. Jumping from the sauna roof into the sea is really fun, I recommend this sauna just for that.

The sauna is very pretty yet quite poorly designed. The top seats are very low and there's a lot of empty space overall, leading to quite an underwhelming löyly (heat and steam, when throwing water) despite the high-ish temperature in the sauna. There is a lot of exposed stone tiling on the floor, where I got my foot burnt. There should never be exposed stone surfaces in a sauna.

Due to the way the seats are laid out, it gets really cramped with 7+ people. In addition, for some reason there is only one shower at the sauna. If you go during a time when there isn't many other people, these won't be an issue.
