Why We Like It

The Golden Designs “Loviisa” 3-Person Outdoor Hybrid Sauna stands out because it combines two sauna experiences in one premium outdoor structure. The hybrid design incorporates PureTech™ full-spectrum infrared heating along with an 8.0 kW traditional sauna stove, giving homeowners more flexibility in how they use their sauna.

The natural Canadian red cedar interior, bronze tempered-glass door and integrated lighting also make the Loviisa particularly attractive for a backyard wellness space where appearance matters as much as function.

Best For

A strong choice for homeowners who want a premium three-person outdoor sauna without having to choose between infrared and traditional sauna heat. Its compact footprint makes it particularly appealing for a patio, pool area or backyard wellness retreat where space is valuable but a full-featured sauna experience is still the goal.

Things to Know Before Buying

This is a substantial outdoor sauna that requires 240V / 40-amp electrical service for the stove and full-spectrum infrared system. Before purchasing, confirm that the intended installation area can accommodate the sauna's dimensions and electrical requirements.
