Sauna ritual at Smoke sauna
The smoke sauna is a good example of our ancient sauna traditions. It gives sauna enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy the same sauna pleasures as our ancestors did. Enjoying a smoke sauna is much more than just relaxation – it’s a step back to the time when our ancestors experienced a sauna session as a deeply personal and spiritual experience. A smoke sauna is a unique experience that connects you with nature, history and your soul. During the ritual, we pamper the senses with the soft touch of aromatic sauna towels, nourish the skin with moisturizing honey and treat ourselves to soothing herbal tea, creating a pleasurable and relaxing experience at the same time.

For Estonians, picking wild berries is a cherished tradition passed down through generations.

The sauna ritual progresses from a peaceful introduction through an intense middle section to a quiet and grateful end. Each participant’s experience is personal and unique – created in the moment, in the space and with themselves.
