Best Traditional Saunas in New Zealand

Traditional Finnish saunas from Alpine Saunas™ NZ deliver authentic high-heat steam experiences (70–90°C) that turn your garage, deck or holiday home into a classic wellness retreat — perfect for deep relaxation, muscle recovery, and Kiwi-style hygge year-round.

Unlike infrared saunas, traditional saunas use rocks and stoves for that steamy, aromatic ritual — ideal for athletes and sauna lovers. Learn more: What’s the Difference Between Traditional and Infrared Saunas?.​
