Mallassauna – A taste of Hailuoto in the heart of Oulu

Enjoy the gentle heat at Mallassauna, a one-of-a-kind sauna experience created by Hailuodon Brewery in Oulu’s artistic Pikisaari district. In the courtyard, you can sink your toes into soft sand brought from Hailuoto Island and relax in the warmth of unique, hand-built saunas. Bring your own swimsuit and towel — and experience the nostalgic charm of this unique sauna!

The saunas are heated Wed–Thu 16:00–21:00, Fri 16:00–22:00, and Sat 14:00–22:00.

Oulu’s sauna rafts – The ultimate Nordic experience

Oulu’s floating saunas — Olosauna, Lainesauna, and Koivurannan Saunalautta — carry you into the heart of the Oulujoki River scenery. Drifting gently along the water, they blend Finnish sauna tradition with pure northern nature. Step into the soft heat, then cool off with a refreshing dip in the river or enjoy the peaceful views from the deck. Each raft offers its own atmosphere, but all share the same magic — a truly unique way to experience Oulu from the water.
