Book a private tent sauna experience in a peaceful natural setting at Rahajärvi. This is a simple and authentic way to enjoy a traditional Finnish sauna, whether you’re visiting as a couple, family, or small group.
The tent sauna offers a warm and relaxed environment, with space for up to eight guests. Additional tents can be arranged to accommodate even larger groups for example company events.
The sauna is reserved exclusively for your group for approximately 1.5 hours, giving you time to enjoy the heat at your own pace. In summer, the experience naturally includes swimming in the lake. Step out of the sauna and take a refreshing dip in clean northern waters before returning to the warmth.
Facilities include access to hot showers and a toilet, offering comfort while still staying close to nature.
Enhance your sauna experience with drinks and light snacks by adding optional catering – after the heat, you’ll likely feel both thirsty and ready for a bite. The sauna can also be combined with other activities before or after your session, depending on your plans.
Whether it’s a special occasion or simply a moment to step away from the everyday, this private tent sauna experience offers a memorable way to slow down and enjoy time together in nature.
