the nosta experience

More than a sauna session, it’s an intentional pause. Every detail is considered, from the heat to the stillness. It’s not about sweating. It’s about how you feel afterward.

Choose Your Sauna Session

Each session invites you to move at your own pace—whether you prefer intense heat or gentle steam. Your private sauna can be adjusted to meet your needs.
 You don’t have to choose just one style—many guests shift between both, depending on the day.

175–200°F | Dry Heat | Löyly

Traditional Sauna

Our most invigorating expression of the Finnish ritual. The heat is dry, focused, and restorative.
You may choose to add löyly, gently pouring water over hot stones to release soft, enveloping steam. Essential oils may be added to enhance the experience.
Ideal for deep recovery, detoxification, and mental clarity.

150–160°F | Continuous Steam | Optional Essential Oils

Gentle Sauna

A softer experience where steam rises steadily from a hidden water tank, creating a calm, enveloping warmth.
Essential oils may be added to support relaxation and ease.
Perfect for first-time guests, slower days, or when your body needs a gentler rhythm.

Everything you need to know — what to expect, how to prepare, and the details that matter.

What should I wear?

Whatever feels best for you. Most guests undress fully, but swimwear, workout clothes, or just a towel are all perfectly fine. Every room is private and includes fresh towels for you to sit on.

How long is my appointment, and how long should I stay inside the sauna?

Your session is 40 minutes. We suggest starting with 10–15 minutes inside, then stepping out for a break if needed. Everyone’s comfort zone is different—listen to your body.

How do I use the sauna if it’s my first time? Any tips?

We usually set the sauna around 170–175°F, but you can always adjust it to what feels best for you. If it gets too warm, feel free to step out and take a break. Keep hydrated, and add steam whenever you want to change the experience.

Take a few deep breaths and settle in — some guests enjoy soft music, meditation, or a show during their session. It’s your moment to relax.

If possible, try to avoid caffeine before your session, as it can interfere with relaxation and affect hydration.

How do I “löyly” (pour water on the rocks), and how often should I do it?

Pour about half a ladle of water over the stones every few minutes. It should sizzle and evaporate right away. If it lingers or starts to pool, that’s a sign too much was used. Please go light on the water, as too much can damage the wood and heater. If it’s your first time, we’ll guide you so you feel comfortable using it.

I don’t tolerate heat well—what do you recommend?

Start with a gentle session. We can lower the temperature and add continuous steam so it feels soft and breathable. You can always step out, cool down, or adjust things as you go.

Can more than one person share a sauna room? How many people can fit?

Yes, absolutely. Our larger rooms comfortably fit 2–3 people, and up to 4 if you’re okay getting a little cozy. Please let us know how many are coming in the notes section when you book and we’ll make sure everything is ready for you.

the nosta experience

moment he loves most

Every visit, Sam looks forward to choosing his essential oil. He loves the variety and how each scent offers something different depending on what he needs that day. It’s a small ritual that’s become part of what he enjoys most about coming to Nosta.

a sauna person

Kevin never saw himself as a ‘sauna person.’ Then he came to Nosta. Now it’s part of what helps him feel grounded, clear, and good. Hear what shifted and why he keeps coming back.

what sets nosta apart

Tyler’s been to many resorts, but Nosta feels different. The staff make every visit easy and personal, the saunas are immaculate, and being able to fine-tune the temperature makes the experience his own. It’s thoughtful, calm, and exactly what he was looking for.

No rush. No rules.
Just time, space, and quiet heat—yours to shape.
A space that feels intentional, not transactional.
