A private sauna and SPA experience surrounded by the peace of the North
Enjoy complete privacy at the House of Northern Senses Modern SPA Style Sauna, only about a 15-minute drive from Ruka. For two hours, the sauna, heated pool and lounge areas are reserved exclusively for you and your group.
Relax in the warmth of a modern Finnish sauna, swim in the heated indoor pool and enjoy unhurried time together in your private sauna lounge. Between sauna sessions, cool down in our sheltered Vilpola relaxation area or step outside into the fresh northern air.
Choose your own way to cool down. In summer and autumn, take a refreshing swim in Lake Pikku Porontima. In winter, cool down in soft snow or experience an authentic Finnish ice dip. The heated indoor pool provides a wonderfully warm contrast to the fresh northern nature throughout the year.
The experience is ideal for couples, families, groups of friends and small private groups – and a perfect way to relax after an active day outdoors.

- 120-minute private sauna and SPA session
- modern Finnish sauna
- heated indoor swimming pool
- private sauna lounge and sheltered Vilpola relaxation area
- year-round lake swimming – ice swimming in winter
- possibility to cool down outdoors and in the snow during winter
