The main styles of sauna you will find in Australia.
Finnish sauna
Hot stones heat a timber room to 70–100°C. Ladle water on the stones for a burst of steam (löyly).
Infrared sauna
Infrared panels warm your body directly at a gentler 45–65°C, usually in a private room.
Wood-fired & floating
Timber-fired saunas on beaches, lakes and pontoons, where the ocean or lake is your cold plunge.
Contrast therapy
Alternate sauna rounds with an ice bath or cold plunge, then rest. Repeat two or three times.
