Sauna Suomi

Sauna Suomi Construction update:
We are still under construction.🦺

There was a lot of work to be done to take an empty cement room and transform it into our space. We haven’t had any major setbacks, which we are grateful for, but as anyone who has undertaken a major renovation project knows, the timeline reality doesn’t always match the optimistic starting point.

Every piece of this project is being custom built, and we want to make sure it’s perfect for when we open our doors to you all.

We are on track to be open in late 2025, and in full swing for the start of 2026.
In the meantime, please sign up for our email list on our website (link in bio) to be the first to hear the details of our official opening date, and for early booking access for reservations. 📧

FINLAND: WINTER-SUMMER

Our vision is that we want to make you feel like you’ve gone on vacation to Finland when you step through the doors of Sauna Suomi. So it seemed a natural fit to incorporate a bit of a travel theme to the space.

This is one of the pieces of Finland that we’re looking forward to sharing with you. It’s a reproduction of a gorgeous vintage travel poster from 1948 and we think it really will help to set the mood of leaving real life behind for a couple hours and taking a mini-vacation at Sauna Suomi.

This is one of a few travel-themed pieces that we’ll have at Sauna Suomi and we look forward to you seeing them all when we open our doors. Because if you can’t hop on a plane to escape, at least you can sauna.

We’ve been absolutely thrilled by the warm and welcoming reception from the Port Moody and Sauna community since we announced our plans a few months back.
Thank you all so much!

We know you’re just as excited as we are to experience Sauna Suomi, and we want to keep you in the loop. Our anticipated opening date is now set for fall of 2025.

Stay tuned for updates! We can’t wait to share loads of photos and videos as construction gets underway and our vision for Sauna Suomi comes to life!

For now, we’re holding off on opening our online booking calendar, but we encourage you to sign up for our mailing list and follow along here so you’ll be the first to know when we start accepting bookings.

We look forward to sharing the löyly with you here in beautiful Port Moody.

With Sauna Suomi still working towards opening, we have been exploring some fabulous saunas locally whenever possible.
This past weekend was the Midsummer Festival at and one of the things we enjoyed most was seeing this historic savusauna, or smoke sauna.
It was too busy to get any great photos of the inside, but it’s a really fine example of a traditional savusauna with the kiuas covered in stones and the walls telling the tale of the years of use.
We enjoyed chatting with the gentleman from the local Finnish Heritage Society about it, he was a wonderful ambassador for the space.
We left wishing that this savusauna had been in use for us to enjoy! 💙

The nights were as beautiful as the days at this past weekend.
The 7 saunas on site at .saunasummit kept us all hot and the lake and fire pits were there for the cool down.
What more could you ask for? 🫶
