Read our story

Why we exist

A sauna in the hands of a master is not a facility. It is craft with lineage.

A culture of sauna and banya, formed and preserved across Central and Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, the CIS and the Baltic states, home of the löyly, parenie and Aufguss.

This is heritage, not a trend. Finnish sauna culture is on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Sauna Society Singapore exists to hold that craft to a set of global standards, and to grow the culture around it in Singapore.
