Garden sauna in summer: enjoy warmth in the hottest season

Most people think of a sauna as a cold winter's day, steamy windows, and thick socks. But who says heat is only for December? A garden sauna in the summer is like a glass of ice-cold lemonade after a sunny bike ride: it may sound surprising, but once you've tried it, you won't want to be without it. The combination of summer air and the soothing feeling of a sauna creates a unique wellness experience—right in your own garden.

Why a garden sauna is so nice in the summer

There's a misconception that saunas are only for freezing temperatures. In reality, a summer sauna session can actually be beneficial for your body and mind. In summer, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is less extreme, making you feel more comfortable. Moreover, the sauna stimulates blood circulation and helps your muscles relax after a long walk, a day of gardening, or a sporting activity. And all of this without having to leave your own yard.

The charm of cooling off outside

One of the biggest advantages of a garden sauna in summer is the cooling sensation. Instead of a cold shower in an enclosed space, you step directly into the fresh air. You'll feel the wind on your skin, hear the birds in the trees, and perhaps even smell the freshly cut grass. It's an experience no wellness resort can match.

Tip: Place an outdoor shower or small plunge pool next to the sauna. This will make cooling off even more refreshing and add a luxurious touch to your garden.

Creating a summer ritual

With a garden sauna, you can make summer evenings a regular ritual. Consider:

• A quiet session in the early morning, while the garden is still shrouded in dew.
• A relaxing moment at the end of the day, when the sun slowly sets.
• A pleasant sauna session with friends or family, followed by a light summer meal.

Such a ritual gives structure to your summer and allows you to enjoy the season more consciously.

Year-round health benefits

The sauna is not only relaxing, but also good for your health. Even in summer:

• Better blood circulation: Heat stimulates blood circulation, which helps with muscle recovery.
• Skin purification: Sweating removes waste products, making your skin feel fresher.
• Stress relief: Away from phones, deadlines, and busyness. Just the gentle warmth and your breathing.
• Improved sleep: An evening session helps you sleep more deeply and restfully.

Garden design and installation of the garden sauna

A garden sauna isn't just a structure in your garden. Its placement determines not only how beautiful it looks in your outdoor space, but also how much you enjoy it. Choose a spot that offers both privacy and a view. Perhaps you want a view of a pond, a flower garden, or a row of trees. Also consider the practicalities: a short walk to the house, electricity, and possibly water for an outdoor shower.

Bonus tip: Consider natural barriers like hedges or bamboo. This not only provides privacy but also a serene atmosphere.

Summer and sauna: what about the temperature?

Many people wonder if it gets too hot for the sauna in the summer. The answer is simple: the sauna is actually more pleasant because the temperature difference is smaller. Your body doesn't have to work as hard to transition between indoors and outdoors. Moreover, you can keep sessions shorter or set the temperature slightly lower for a more gentle experience.

Sustainable enjoyment

A garden sauna can also be more sustainable in the summer. Because it's warmer outside, it takes less energy to reach the desired temperature. Especially if you choose good insulation and an efficient heater, you'll notice this in your energy consumption. Moreover, you can use the sauna whenever you feel like it, without long commutes to a wellness center.
