Hot-stone saunas use heaters packed with a large volume of rock. The stones store heat and release it steadily, producing a deep, even warmth and generous steam when water is added. They are prized by enthusiasts and often run at the hotter end of the scale, up to around 90°C.
Hot-stone heaters hold far more rock than standard electric heaters, which gives a softer, more even heat and generous steam when water is ladled on. Because the stones stay hot for a long time, the room recovers quickly after the door opens. If you enjoy steam-rich heat, look for hot-stone saunas that allow guests to add water to the stones.
