Product and service

we bought the Vista mini barrel sauna, had questions through the process and was always responded to fast. they helped through the whole process and were great to deal with, Sauna turned up earlier then even expected, put it together over a weekend, has clear instructions and was easy to do with a bit of know how. would definitely recommend, have been using for a few weeks now and love it.

We cannot speak more highly of the team at Alpine spas from sales, distribution and pick up. All the team were knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. My husband picked our sauna up and the guys at the warehouse were so helpful with tips on assembly. The sauna went together perfectly and everything was fantastic quality. My husband is very fussy and is so impressed with the quality. We now are patiently waiting for our electrician to connect power, then we can finish our landscaping plan created in ChatGPT.

    The Barrel features a SAA® Certified Harvia™ Wall-Mounted which Heater delivers fast, even heat for an authentic Finnish sauna experience.

  • Impurity-Free Olivine Stones

We Only Use Cedar For Outdoor Saunas

Why choose our sustainably sourced cedar over other timbers? Cedar carries many natural benefits to make it the clear choice for our saunas.

Cedar resists moisture, decay, and pests for durable, long-lasting outdoor saunas.

Cedar’s natural aroma, air purification, and antimicrobial benefits outperform other timbers.

Wellness Starts with Warmth

Regular sauna sessions do more than help you relax. A recent study from Luleå University of Technology in Sweden found that people who regularly use saunas report better overall health, more energy, and lower blood pressure. They also experience less physical pain, improved sleep, and a stronger sense of well-being.

Vista XL Woodfired Sauna

We viewed and purchased our sauna at the CD Fielddays. It comes flat packed and arrived punctually on the agreed date. We assembled it ourselves and found the instructions generally straightforward and the process enjoyable and rewarding. We are enjoying using it immensely. We found Alpine Spas great to deal with and follow up has been great.

Perfect size Sauna

The Vista Mini is perfect for my area. Comfortably fits 4 people and the traditional heater with a boost of steam is fantastic. It leaves you feeling relaxed and invigorated. Easy to assemble and looks great. We even added a picture of the snow to view out of the window. I would recommend this Sauna to anyone.

Purchase of Vista mini sauna

Firstly the showroom in Osborne Park (Perth) is excellently laid out…service good (no pushy salespeople!)…as for the sauna- very happy with end result- delivery was quick & Perth Assembly Experts (Alec Dempsey) did an excellent job of assembling said sauna. Penguin Electrical were on time and excellent at their trade. Summing up I’m very happy with the whole process. Thanks, Wim Jansen

Beautiful Barrel

This is to thank you for the exceptional product and service thus far. Delivery to our closest depot was prompt and pick-up easy. We were wowed by the gorgeous packing case which will be repurposed into something useful when fully unpacked. We are still in the early stages of DIY assembly,but it seems smooth going especially with a little input from our builder son. We would also like to thank you...

Perfect mini sauna

The mini vista is every I hoped it would be. A little bit of luxury right at home. The family are using it daily sometimes twice. Already my sleep has improved. I totally recommend you get one if you’re considering it.
