Saunas Algarve: Where to Buy the Best?

The Algarve is widely regarded as one of the best regions in Europe to live in. The remarkable climate, magnificent beaches, golf courses, safety and gastronomy draw the attention of many international residents who choose to spend a few months a year — or settle permanently — in this corner of paradise.

Beyond enjoying the quality of life this part of Portugal offers, a growing number of international and Portuguese residents are investing in their health and wellbeing. Saunas and their benefits have caught the attention of more and more people in this group.

If you live in the Algarve, why invest in a sauna at home?

Looking for a sauna in Albufeira, a sauna in Portimão or anywhere else in Portugal?

Did you know you can install a sauna at your Algarve home and enjoy all the benefits in your own private, peaceful setting? Here are the main advantages of buying a sauna in the Algarve:

• Detoxification: by inducing perspiration, your body releases toxins and impurities through the skin;
• Relaxation: unwind from the day, feel your muscles release tension and settle into a sense of overall wellbeing;
• Better circulation: sauna heat boosts blood flow, supports cardiovascular health and helps ease muscle aches;
• Healthier skin: your skin becomes clearer and more radiant;
• Easier breathing: a sauna session opens the airways and helps relieve a range of respiratory issues;
• Stronger immune system: white blood cell production is stimulated, helping your body defend itself more effectively;

According to a study published on PubMed, regular sauna bathing reduces the incidence of vascular and non-vascular conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, dementia and respiratory illnesses. It can also ease the severity of conditions including musculoskeletal disorders, COVID-19, headaches and influenza.

As you've just seen, investing in a sauna in the Algarve, Portugal, is one of the best decisions you can make if you want to improve your health, reduce stress and lift your quality of life.

Which type of sauna should you choose for your Algarve home?

There are 3 types of sauna: Finnish sauna; Turkish bath; infrared sauna.

To work out which is right for your Algarve home, here are the key features that set them apart:

Finnish Sauna

• The Finnish sauna is defined by high heat (temperatures above 70 °C), low humidity and a dry atmosphere
• It induces intense perspiration
• Ideal for anyone looking for a traditional sauna session

Turkish Bath

• The Turkish bath, also known as the hammam, is defined by a steamy atmosphere with high humidity and a temperature between 40 and 50 °C
• Ideal for those who prefer a gentler heat and a steam-rich environment

Infrared sauna

• The infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit radiant heat directly to the body; temperatures sit around 40 to 60 °C
• Ideal for those sensitive to high temperatures who want a gentler sauna experience
