Sauna culture has always been a space of simplicity and serenity. But as wellness continues to evolve, so do the choices we have to personalise our experience. Today, it’s no longer just about deciding whether to have a sauna- it’s about finding the sauna that perfectly complements your lifestyle.
At Auroom, we design saunas that adapt to your needs. Whether you dream of the time-honoured tradition of steam and high heat, the gentle embrace of infrared warmth, or the freedom to enjoy both, we have you covered. Let’s explore these options together.

The timeless tradition of steam and heat

For many, the traditional sauna is the gold standard- a deeply rooted ritual in cultures across Scandinavia and around the world. The sensation of dry heat rising, the steam (löyly) enveloping your body as you pour water over the stones, the cleansing sweat- it’s an experience that engages all the senses. This is the sauna many of us grew up with, and the one that still feels like home.

Traditional saunas invite you into a multisensory ritual- aromatic wood interiors, soft lighting, and the quiet crackle of the stones. It’s not just a heat session, but a moment to disconnect, reflect, and let go. But they also offer much more than relaxation:

Scientifically proven benefits include:

• Cardiovascular health support: Regular sauna use has been linked to improved heart health. Studies show it can reduce blood pressure and improve vascular function, which may lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Source
• Enhanced circulation: The heat encourages blood vessels to dilate, improving circulation and oxygen delivery throughout the body. This is excellent for muscle recovery and overall vitality. Study
• Stronger immune system: Sauna bathing has been associated with a lower risk of respiratory illnesses, thanks to heat exposure boosting immune system activity. Source
• Stress relief and mental clarity: The warmth relaxes muscles and lowers cortisol levels, reducing stress and promoting mental clarity.
• Detoxification: Profuse sweating in high heat helps to flush toxins from the body, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised.

For those who enjoy outdoor wellness rituals, the traditional sauna is a natural choice. It pairs beautifully with nature- picture stepping out into cool, crisp air after an intense, detoxifying sauna session. Many of our outdoor saunas- like Mira, Terra, and Nora– are designed specifically to elevate this time-honored experience while standing up to all climates.

Infrared saunas: gentle, deep, and growing in popularity

Infrared saunas have quickly become a favourite for wellness seekers worldwide. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, infrared panels use radiant heat to warm your body directly. The experience is gentler- typically around 40–60°C – yet profoundly therapeutic. Because of their gentler warmth and quick heat-up time, infrared saunas are often enjoyed daily. They’re especially loved by wellness practitioners, athletes, and anyone managing chronic pain or stress. With no need for water or a traditional heater, they’re also simple to install and maintain- even in small spaces.

What makes infrared saunas so appealing?

• Deep muscle relaxation and recovery: Infrared heat penetrates up to several centimetres beneath the skin, easing muscle tension and accelerating post-exercise recovery. Research-backed study
• Improved circulation: The radiant heat stimulates blood flow, supporting cardiovascular health and overall vitality.
• Skin health and rejuvenation: Infrared warmth can enhance skin elasticity and promote a healthy glow.
• Lower energy consumption and quick heat-up: Infrared saunas heat up faster and are more energy-efficient, making them ideal for regular use at home or in wellness spaces.
• Stress reduction: The soothing warmth calms the body, helping to ease stress and tension.

What many love about infrared is the feeling of warmth from within. There’s no sharp intensity, just a gentle, enveloping heat that allows you to relax and unwind, even if you’re short on time. Auroom infrared saunas are most often used indoors, seamlessly integrated into homes, gyms, and wellness studios. Want to dive deeper into infrared sauna benefits? Explore our dedicated article here

The best of both worlds: dual sauna experience

At Auroom, we know that wellness is personal. That’s why we don’t just offer saunas- we create personalised experiences.

What is a dual sauna?

Auroom dual saunas offer a versatile solution for wellness seekers who don’t want to compromise- blending the authentic Finnish sauna tradition with modern infrared therapy into a single, elegant space. It is a sauna with both- infrared panels and steam heater. Whether you want the intense, purifying steam session or a more soothing, muscle-recovering infrared heat, you can enjoy both- depending on your mood and wellness goals. Dual saunas are increasingly popular in wellness destinations, offering guests more choice, more comfort, and a tailored wellness experience in one space-saving solution.

How does it work?

As with all bespoke Auroom creations, our dual saunas are tailored to your specific needs and space. While this option isn’t yet a standard feature in our catalogue, we are proud to offer dual sauna configurations as part of our custom design service.
The control systems can vary based on the setup. Some models can integrate both heat sources into a single control panel, while others use separate systems for maximum flexibility. We’ll guide you through these choices to ensure your sauna works exactly as you envision.
