Three saunas to sink your shoulders into

Combining a hot sauna with a refreshing sea bath has become a popular way to relax along the coast. In Magma Geopark you'll find several saunas with different locations and expressions, but with one thing in common: proximity to the sea.

Why do so many people choose a sauna?

The combination of warm air and cold sea baths provides a clear contrast experience that can be felt both physically and mentally. It's precisely this contrast that makes coastal saunas so special.

A session in the sauna can provide:

Relaxation and reduced stress
Better blood circulation
Relief for sore and tense muscles
Increased wellbeing and better sleep
A mental respite in a busy day

In Magma Geopark you can experience this in three different places.
