Lakeside Sauna

Our exclusive Lakeside Sauna features an open-air terrace, two luxurious 6-person hot tubs, a volcanic sand therapy lounge, an authentic traditional sauna hut and, of course, the picturesque Lake Palojärvi, which completes the setting for an outstanding relaxation experience. The warm embrace of the steam and the refreshing touch of the water will make you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and give you a clear idea of what “wellness” means!

Access With Your Wellness Pass

Enjoy two hours of access to Lakeside Sauna and Thermal Suite with the Aito Wellness Pass. Access is complimentary for hotel guests, with one pass provided per night of your stay. Signature treatments are bookable separately.

Traditional Finnish Sauna

Our sauna hut has been crafted with love from Finnish pine logs. Come on in, sit back and enjoy one of Finland’s most iconic traditions! Let the heat soothe your muscles and ease your mind. When you’re ready, step outside and take a refreshing dip in the lake. Is it winter and the water’s freezing cold? Welcome to the thrill of ice bathing: a tradition loved by locals and visitors alike.

Sand bath filled with crushed jade

Arctic Volcanic Lounge

Immerse yourself in a warm bath filled with mineral-rich Icelandic volcanic sand or crushed jade. The gentle heat and soothing weight of the sand ease muscle tension, improve circulation, calm the nervous system and let your mind drift to peaceful places. It’s undoubtedly one of the most grounding experiences in our spa!

Hot Tubs

Soak under open skies, with steam rising into the crisp Arctic air. Our outdoor hot tubs offer more than pleasant warmth: they ease tension, relieve joint stiffness, quiet the mind, and awaken the senses. It’s the perfect way to unwind while enjoying the stillness of the lakeside landscape.

Lakeside Terrace

Sometimes, you just want to keep it simple. Relax by the lake while the clean air of Lapland fills your lungs. Our terrace is a great place to cool down between spa rituals: let your eyes wander across the scenery, and your mind through peaceful thoughts.
