Why We Like It

The Benovo 6–8 Person Outdoor Hybrid Sauna combines substantial capacity with the flexibility of traditional sauna heat and far-infrared heating. A powerful 8 kW Harvia electric stove provides the traditional sauna experience, while a separate 5000W far-infrared system offers an alternative heating option.

We particularly like this sauna for homeowners who want the sauna itself to become part of the backyard environment. Its house-style design, white exterior, sloped roof and large interior give it more of an architectural presence than many traditional sauna cabins.

Best For

Ideal for families or homeowners creating a larger backyard wellness retreat where several people may use the sauna together.

With a listed capacity of 6–8 people, this is one of the more spacious sauna options in our Wellness Essentials collection and may be especially attractive for entertaining or shared family use.

Things to Know Before Buying

This is a large outdoor structure measuring approximately 78.74"W × 78.74"D × 96.46"H. Before ordering, carefully measure the installation area and consider the foundation or supporting surface, required clearances and access from the delivery location to the final installation site.

The traditional heating system uses a 220V, 8 kW Harvia electric stove, while the far-infrared system is listed at 5000W. The supplied information does not specify the complete amperage, circuit configuration or other electrical installation requirements. Confirm the electrical requirements with the seller and a qualified electrician before purchase and installation.

Although the seller describes the sauna as accommodating 6–8 people, actual comfort will depend on the interior seating configuration and the size of the occupants. Buyers expecting frequent use by six or more adults should review the interior dimensions and seating arrangement carefully.

The manufacturer describes the sauna as designed for outdoor use and capable of handling varying weather conditions. However, buyers should still confirm appropriate site preparation, weather protection, maintenance requirements and any installation restrictions for their climate.
