niku-naku sauna

Welcome to our wood-fired, outdoor Finnish sauna experience in Bala.

Set in the heart of Eryri National Park, Llyn Tegid is the largest natural lake in Wales; a perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Take in the breathtaking views from our lakeside sauna and plunge into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim.

Sauna bathing is an all season’s activity and can be enjoyed in any weather! Start the day with a rejuvenating sauna session before exploring the historic market town of Bala and the surrounding area. Spend the afternoon on a picnic with family and friends, or warm up after a day out on the water kayaking or paddleboarding.

We offer a range of booking options for public sessions, private groups of up to 10 people and families with children.

This is a unique opportunity to experience authentic Finnish sauna culture. We strip it back to the bare essentials, enjoying life, connecting with people and nature, and taking a moment to practise the timeless tradition of a proper löyly.
