Browse by Heat Type

Traditional Finnish outdoor saunas: The authentic experience — high heat (80–95°C) with the option to throw water on hot stones for steam (löyly). Choose between electric heaters (instant heat, requires a 32-amp supply) or wood-burning stoves (off-grid, traditional). Featured models include the Heatwave 4-Person Sauna (£10,645), the Fort Soleil 5-Person Traditional Finnish Sauna (£14,499), and The Sanctuary Outdoor Finnish Sauna (£14,995).

Outdoor infrared saunas: Lower temperatures (45–65°C) with deeper-penetrating warmth — gentler on the body, faster to heat, and ideal if you want a daily-use wellness sauna in the garden.

Hybrid outdoor saunas: The best of both worlds — switch between traditional and infrared heating in the same cabin. Featured models include the V2 Hybrid 4-Person Sauna (£6,995) and the Hybrid Outdoor 2-Person Sauna (£5,695) — our entry point into the outdoor sauna range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a traditional, infrared and hybrid outdoor sauna?

A traditional Finnish sauna heats the air to 80–95°C using electric or wood-burning stoves, with steam created by pouring water on hot stones. An infrared sauna uses far-infrared panels to heat your body directly at lower air temperatures (45–65°C), so sessions feel gentler and the cabin heats faster. A hybrid combines both heating systems in one cabin, letting you switch between styles.

Do I need planning permission for an outdoor sauna in the UK?

Most domestic outdoor saunas fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission, provided they sit within your garden, don't exceed 2.5m in height when within 2m of a boundary (or 3m elsewhere), and don't cover more than 50% of the garden. Listed buildings, conservation areas and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty have stricter rules — check with your local authority before buying.

Is a garden sauna the same as an outdoor sauna?

Yes — "garden sauna" and "outdoor sauna" are used interchangeably in the UK. Both refer to a sauna cabin installed in your garden or outdoor space, as opposed to a sauna built inside the home.

How much does an outdoor sauna cost in the UK?

Outdoor saunas at Nuovo Luxury start from £5,695 for our 2-person hybrid model and reach around £22,000 for our largest premium 8-person commercial cabins. Most domestic 4-person outdoor traditional saunas sit in the £9,500–£14,500 range. Delivery is free across UK mainland.

Should I choose a wood-burning or electric outdoor sauna?

Wood-burning offers the most authentic Finnish experience and works off-grid, but requires manual lighting and 30–45 minutes to reach temperature. Electric heaters (32-amp supply required) heat in 20–30 minutes, are easier to use day-to-day, and many include Wi-Fi/app control for remote pre-heating. Most UK buyers choose electric for convenience.

How long does delivery and installation take?

Most outdoor saunas ship from UK stock within 5–10 working days. Installation depends on the model: self-assembly cabins typically take 1–2 days for two people; pre-built cabins arrive ready to use once placed and connected.
