I was in two minds whether to write this review, because this seems to be a hidden gem, and perhaps more reviews may make it less hidden and take away the charm/ peaceful atmosphere but here goes! One of the best experiences I’ve had in Finland. It’s much smaller compared to other more commercial saunas but that size is indeed one of the best parts of it. Nestled in a forest you are surrounded by tranquility all around. The sauna in itself was great and the sauna master Jonas even threw in some free sauna treatments for me, showed me how to properly use the birch branches and was very informative. I did not know there was a Finnish Sauna back home in Singapore until he told me!! Great communication and coordination with Olaf as well. Highly recommend this place, the service, the ambience and the traditional experience.

Gyanesh M Google We had a lovely, relaxing time at Perinnesauna. We took also 20 min Saunaritual at first and it was really nice! 8 persons at the same time was really nice!
Susanna Kyllönen Google Had the best Finnish venik treatments and very powerful healing sauna/traditions around for the whole visit. Close to very beautiful wilderness and mystical nature. Warm recommendation!
kaisu maija Google 51st Finnish sauna review: this was my first sauna treatment with Jonas. Something that has to be felt to be understood. I took part in the 1.5 hr treatment with him and his touch and care was perfect. His application of the whisks, löyly, and ventilation let me lose my self rapidly into his complete control. A true master. Thank you. The savusauna which I visited afterwards was also perfect. Probably the nicest savusauna I’ve visited. It’s an intimate and friendly space. It certainly has a rustic Finnish charm about it, some may not like, but a bonus for me. The kind of place I’d recommend to sauna lovers wishing to slow down and connect deeply.
