Private Sauna Stockholm | Wood-Fired Finnish Sauna in the Archipelago
Looking for a private sauna in Stockholm and an experience that goes beyond the gym changing room? LUONA Sauna offers a private, wood-fired Finnish sauna on the island of Djurö in the Stockholm archipelago, in one of the most beautiful and secluded sauna settings you can find anywhere near the city.
Each session is three hours (or as agreed), completely private for your group of up to six people. No strangers, no schedules to share, no fluorescent lighting. Just the crackle of birchwood, the smell of warm pine, and the cold sea a few steps from the door.
A private sauna in Stockholm — with actual archipelago
Most saunas in Stockholm are located indoors, in spa hotels or sports centres in the city. LUONA Sauna is different. The sauna sits on Djurö in the outer Stockholm archipelago, surrounded by forest and water. Djurö is one of furthest islands in the Stockholm archipelago that you can reach by road and car, about 50 minutes from central Stockholm, and leave the city entirely behind.
This is a genuine Finnish wood-fired sauna, heated with wood, not electricity. The heat builds slowly and stays deep. You can adjust the löyly yourself by pouring water over the stones, as much or as little steam as your group prefers. When you're ready to cool down, the sea is right there.
Who books a private sauna in Stockholm?
LUONA is perfect for small groups who want a real experience, not a spa package with strangers in the next cubicle. People book for birthday celebrations, after-work gatherings, bachelorette and bachelor parties, family occasions, and company retreats. The three-hour session gives you plenty of time to settle in, alternate between the heat and the cold water, and simply be present with the people you came with.

Frequently asked questions
Where is LUONA Sauna located?
LUONA Sauna is on the island of Djurö in the Stockholm archipelago. It's 50 minutes from central Stockholm by car or on hour by public transport from Slussen.
How many people can use the sauna at once?
Each booking is for up to 6 people. The sauna is completely private, no other guests share the space during your session. If you are a bigger group, get in touch and let's discuss the possibilities.
Is the sauna wood-fired?
Yes. LUONA Sauna is a traditional Finnish wood-fired sauna, heated with wood. The heat is deep and natural, quite different from an electric sauna.
Why a wood-fired sauna feels different?
Most saunas in Stockholm (or even in the whole world) are electric. A wood-fired Finnish sauna heats more slowly and produces a softer, deeper warmth. The kind of heat you can sit in for longer without feeling dried out. The löyly (steam from water on the stones) is more enveloping. Finnish sauna culture, recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage, is built around this kind of sauna, and it's increasingly rare even in Sweden.
Can we swim in the sea?
Yes, the sea is directly accessible from the sauna. Alternating between the heat and the cold water is a central part of the experience.
How long is a session?
Each session is three hours (or longer if agreed). This gives your group time to heat up, cool down, and return to the sauna as many times as you like without feeling rushed.
How do I book?
All bookings are made through our bookings page. We work on a request-to-book basis. Send your preferred date and group size and we'll confirm availability.
Can we bring food and drinks?
Yes, you're welcome to bring your own food and drinks to enjoy on the inside or outside lounge area, the terrace or by the water.
Is the sauna open year-round?
Yes, we are open year around. The sauna experience is equally amazing at any season of the year. From the cold plunge in the ice water directly from the hot löyly in the winter to the Nordic summer light and nightless nights in the summer.
