Experience the Power of heat therapy

  • Premium 6kW Harvia™ Heater

    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

    Our impurity-free Olivine Stones from Finland store heat brilliantly and are built to last. They release a soft, clean and gentle steam (löyly) that enhances relaxation.

  • Easy To Use Dials

    Control when your heater turns on in advance to make sure it’s at the desired temperature – right when you want to use it. Easy and straightforward to use.

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.

50th Birthday Sauna!!

I finally have my dream sauna. 100% worth the time and expense. A bit of planning required - a purpose built deck, the build itself, and electrical work to connect us up. We chose a site in the garden to give the sauna a natural ‘nestled in’ look. The quality of the sauna is top notch and we appreciated the extra building materials supplied by Alpine - they know where the home builder might need b...

Alpine Spas - Fantastic!!

One of the best experiences. Everyone has made the selection, supply & installation such a breeze. So informative for 1st time Sauna owners, and Matt Carter was super helpful. As was Jenny in Dispatch. No problem to hold the Sauna in their warehouse until we were ready, and provided referral for a great installer - Tom @ Xavier Trades, who did an amazing job with the assembly & then instructions o...

Looks Sensational and completes my property with exceptional aesthetics!👌

Mike and Sonja from Kitset were amazing! Their attention to detail with building the sauna to completion was next to none. They will be back in 12 months to oil the cedar timber once again. My electrician has wired the sauna to the mains of the house ✔️ Ye5

Barrel Sauna

We absolutely love our barrel sauna purchase! Alpine have been a pleasure to deal with from the showroom, the dispatch legends and ease of assembly. While there is a few hours required to make the sauna up, it was well worth the effort! The heater gets the barrel up to 80degrees in an hour and it’s easy to keep it hot throughout with a splash of water on the stones. Would absolutely recommend to a...

I bought a Barrel Sauna from Alpine Spas and am super happy! Liam was very friendly and responsive throughout the whole process and the quality and design of the sauna is outstanding. Even the builders (and sparky) who put it together remarked on how well made all the components are. I have mine set up overlooking the little bay where I live in the deep of the South Island, and the morning sun st...

A positive experience buying a Barrel Sauna from Jackson Prisk - we appreciated Jackson's candor throughout the process and he was ready and willing to help us work around some minor issues that arose during the purchase and installation. We are happy to recommend the product based on the few weeks we have had it.
