Bathhouses of Tasmania

Traditional sauna

Tasmania's cool climate and small population have produced a modest but geographically spread collection of venues offering traditional sauna, with Savoy Day Spa in Hobart and Waldheim Alpine Spa at Cradle Mountain representing the state's current options. A traditional sauna uses dry or low-humidity heat, typically from wood or electric stoves, to raise the body's core temperature through sustained exposure. Two venues across a state this size means some travel is likely involved, depending on where you are based.
