Our Favourite Outdoor Saunas in Australia

We love saunas.

But if we're honest, we love them even more when they're in the wild.

There's something special about sitting in the warmth while the weather does its thing outside. Rain rolling in across the mountains. Wind whipping through the trees. Waves crashing against the shore. Then stepping outside, breathing in the fresh air and plunging into the ocean, a lake or an ice bath.

For us, the best sauna experiences aren't about luxury. They're about feeling connected to the place around you. Getting outdoors in winter. Embracing the elements rather than hiding from them.

Whether it's a floating sauna in Tasmania, a wood-fired barrel overlooking the Snowy Mountains or a coastal sauna perched above the ocean, these are the places currently inspiring us to get outside, warm up and make the most of winter.

Here are some of our go-to outdoor saunas from around Australia.
