Guide to buying a Nordic sauna in Portugal

Interest in the Nordic sauna, also known as the Finnish sauna, has been growing in Portugal. Of Scandinavian origin, the Nordic sauna offers complete relaxation and a range of health benefits.

Thinking about investing in a Nordic sauna for your home? Would you like to create a private corner to unwind, in privacy, after a long day's work? Did you know that Finland, with a population of 5.5 million, has more than 3 million saunas?

Having a Nordic sauna at home is far simpler than it first appears. Read the short guide we've put together to learn all about the Finnish sauna, and find out why this investment will significantly improve your health.

What is a Nordic sauna?

The Nordic sauna, also known as the Finnish sauna or Finnish dry sauna, is a heated structure where temperatures range from 70 °C to 100 °C, creating a dry environment with low humidity.

This sauna promotes intense perspiration, helping the body release toxins and offering many health benefits, such as stress relief, muscle relaxation and improved blood circulation.

Inspired by Finnish tradition, the Nordic sauna is defined by the natural wood used in its construction, creating a warm, rustic atmosphere. The wood — typically high quality and heat-resistant — supports thermal insulation, keeping interior temperatures high and steady. This type of sauna can be heated by an electric or wood-burning heater, depending on your preferences and installation conditions.

The Nordic sauna is the ideal choice if you value moments of relaxation and self-care. Did you know you can buy a sauna in Portugal in Saunamo's online store?
