Uusi Sauna

Uusi Sauna, whose name charmingly translates to "New Sauna," is the neighborhood social hub reimagined for the twenty first century. It is located in the modern Jätkäsaari district, yet it successfully captures the friendly, unpretentious spirit of the old public saunas. The feeling here is decidedly communal and relaxed. You are encouraged to socialize and can comfortably wander between the wood fired male sauna or the mixed electric sauna, then pop out to the stylish courtyard or the bar area, all while wrapped in your towel or robe.

The wood fired room offers a robust heat; it starts soft but builds quickly into a powerful, satisfying steam, a sign of its quality design. After a few rounds of intense heat, the courtyard is a welcome, spacious spot for quiet reflection and a cold drink. The presence of the bar and bistro makes this place unique; there is a tangible sense of community as people mingle over house made burgers or a craft beer. Uusi Sauna is not just about the sweat, it is about the whole lifestyle package: good heat, good food, and great company, all in a clean and thoughtfully designed space.
