Traditional bathing culture by the sea
The Bath House at Havna Hotel & Sjøbad is a tribute to the traditional Scandinavian bathing culture. Here, heat and cold, tranquility and nature meet, in a ritual that has been practiced for generations along the Norwegian coast.
The seaside location gives the bath house a unique experience where you can alternate between a warm sauna, a refreshing swim in the sea and quiet relaxation with a view of the archipelago.
The bathhouse is equipped with everything you need for a complete bathing experience. From a steamy sauna to an ice-cold bath — strengthen your body with energizing results.
The heated plunge pool of 35 square meters is located inside the bathhouse and can be enjoyed all year round. Towel racks and bathrobes are available.
Traditional sauna maintained between 70 and 95 degrees. Pour water on the stove and inhale the soft steam with the aroma of pure herbs from the garden.
Walk down the steps leading to the sea for a refreshing sea bath. The bathing ladder on the dock and the shallow beach make it easy to get into the water — all year round.
A handful of sun loungers give you the opportunity to warm up and get some well-deserved vitamin D. The terrace is open during the summer months.
Get refreshments at the bathhouse's own bar. Enjoy delicious and healthy juices, or a cooling drink in the heat. Sit back and treat yourself to a refill of comfort.

After your bath, comfortable recliners, warm blankets and a view of the sea await. Here you can just be, with a cup of tea in hand. The fireplace is lit during the winter months.
The essence of the bathing ritual is the contrast between hot and cold. Start in the sauna, let the heat warm your body, then step out into the refreshing seawater.
Repeat the cycle two to three times for optimal effect. You will feel your blood circulation increase, tension release and a deep calm fill your body and mind.
Our hosts are happy to help guide you through the experience if you are new to the sauna culture.
