Create your own spa sanctuary with barrels of comfort 

Reveal a realm of wellbeing benefits with Hekla saunas that effortlessly enhance your health. Step into a realm of relaxation, a calming sanctuary to unwind in after a demanding day. Sit back and cradle your back in the curvature of the barrel wall, with enough room to straighten your neck. In between sauna sessions, enjoy a drink and a cool breeze on the exterior terrace benches. It’s a perfect retreat for precious ‘me time’, as well as being a space to relax with friends and family.

The gentle warmth of saunas encourages the release of endorphins which helps with deeper sleep. Feel your circulation improve and muscles rejuvenate, whether you’ve had a tough workout or a hard day at work. If you suffer with arthritis or persistent pain, sauna heat can help provide relief. Dry or sensitive skin can also benefit from humidity, while some people find perspiration helps with a boosted metabolism, and a detoxified body to shed a few pounds. Sprinkle water onto the sauna stones for a refreshing burst of steam and extra humidity. Don’t forget, moderation and hydration are key, if you have any health concerns or are pregnant, consulting a healthcare professional is a wise move. 

Built sustainably using natural Nordic materials

Hekla saunas are built from Thermowood, a 100% natural material from Nordic Spruce. Sourced responsibly from European forests, our saunas are a tribute to sustainability. Thermowood’s heat-treated strength prevents it from succumbing to humidity, outclassing ordinary wood in durability, so you can worry less about it warping, swelling or decaying.

Traditional barrel design provides structural integrity and minimal maintenance, with the curved build naturally shedding water and snow. Roof shingles act as protective shields from the elements, ensuring lower energy bills and a potential bump in your property’s value. Barrel saunas also provide an extra layer of efficiency, less power is needed to heat the room due to minimal unused airspace, while the thick staves are excellent insulators.

Powered by nature or electricity 

Choose from either a wood burner or electric heater for your new sauna. In a glossy black stainless steel build, our premium Harvia electric heater is adaptable to your setup – whether nestled within your bench or in front of the glass, you can also choose from either 7kW or 9kW. Customisable controls give you the reins to tailor the heat to your perfect temperature. Electrify your sauna experience, with both power and efficiency.

Harvia wood burners provide cleaner, more efficient combustion and environmental friendliness. With a painted black finish, cast iron details, and steel encasing surrounding each stone section, you’re guaranteed an authentic Baltic experience. Rear connection pipes connect directly to your chimney system, for additional safety and peace of mind.

At Hekla, our saunas aren’t just structures; they’re portals to serenity, crafted for you, your health, and the planet.
