A Finnish sauna is the classic: a heater, a bench and a bucket of water on the stones. Three things decide which suits you: where it will go, how many people will use it and the heater you want.
New Finnish saunas start from £3,498, with a Harvia heater included in the price. The range covers garden barrels and cubes and indoor sauna rooms, for two to six people.

A Finnish sauna is a traditional sauna: a heater warms the air and a load of stones, and you throw water on the stones to make steam. You can run it hot and dry or cooler and softer: Harvia describes 80 to 100°C as hot and dry and 50 to 60°C as humid and soft.
New Finnish saunas on this page start from £3,498. Prices include a Harvia heater, which you choose on the product page, so the figure you see is the full sauna ready to heat. Each product page shows the full price for the finish and heater you choose.
A Finnish sauna heats the air and gives you steam when you throw water on the stones. An infrared sauna has panels that warm your body directly, so the air stays cooler and there is no steam. Choose a Finnish sauna for the classic experience, and infrared for a compact cabin that plugs in.
Most of our Finnish saunas are electric, with a Harvia heater of 6 to 9kW. Some Hekla models, the Cube 210 and 250 and the Barrel 210 and 250, can take a Linear 18 wood burner instead. Choose the heater you want on the product page.
Traditional saunas have a 6 to 9kW Harvia heater that is hardwired on its own supply, fitted by a qualified, registered electrician who can certify the work. The supply each model needs is on its product page.
It depends on the heater and how long you use it. Harvia says a 6kW heater uses about 4 to 5 kWh in the first hour while it heats up and 3 to 4 kWh in the second, about 7 to 9 kWh for a two-hour session. At the October to December 2026 price cap of 26.32p per kWh, that is about £1.85 to £2.40 a session.
A garden sauna is usually treated as an outbuilding, which in England can go up without planning permission as long as it is single storey, no more than 2.5 m tall if it is within 2 m of a boundary, not in front of the house, and together with other buildings and extensions covers no more than half the garden. All our outdoor saunas are under 2.5 m tall. Listed buildings, flats, maisonettes and designated land have their own rules, so your local planning authority can confirm the position for your address.
Yes. Saunas are on display at our showrooms in Hull, Carlisle and Garforth, so you can sit inside one and check the size against your space. Our team can also talk you through the heater, the base and the power supply.
Saunas arrive flat-packed. Most outdoor saunas cost £149 for kerbside delivery, or £899 for delivery and installation, and the Hekla indoor sauna rooms are £149 or £399. The delivery options for each model are shown at checkout.
Hekla saunas come with a 2-year warranty. The warranty for every model is shown on its product page.
