Built to last.
Finnish Sauna Architecture Meets Floating Construction
At the heart of Floating Design Sauna is UNA Design Sauna, combining distinctive Finnish sauna architecture with a floating environment designed around the requirements of each location.
The sauna and floating platform are considered as one complete experience. From the panoramic sauna and sheltered Kota Lounge to the surrounding terraces, swimming access and connection to shore, every element contributes to the way guests move between heat, water and relaxation.
The result is a floating sauna destination where architecture, functionality and the surrounding landscape belong together.
A Turnkey Floating Sauna Solution
Floating Design Sauna brings the key elements of a floating sauna project together into one coordinated solution.
Depending on the project and location, the delivery can include the UNA Design Sauna, floating foundation and platform, terraces and walkways, anchoring system, shore access gangway, swimming access, exterior lighting and other project-specific elements.
The final configuration and delivery scope are defined according to the intended use, site conditions and project requirements.
This gives commercial and private clients a clearer route from a floating sauna idea to a complete waterfront destination.
Designed for Commercial, Hospitality and Private Projects
Floating Design Sauna is suitable for hotels, resorts, wellness destinations, commercial sauna businesses and private waterfront properties.
UNA Design Sauna comfortably accommodates 10–15 bathers at a time, making the concept particularly well suited for commercial environments where capacity, durability and efficient daily operation are important.

For private projects, the same architecture can be adapted to create a distinctive sauna destination directly on a lake, seaside or other suitable waterfront location.

UNA Design Sauna is designed and manufactured in Finland using carefully selected materials and proven construction methods.
Its architecture, materials and functionality are developed for an authentic Finnish sauna experience while meeting the practical requirements of demanding commercial and private environments.
For selected projects in Finland, floating structures and waterfront construction can be delivered in cooperation with Savorak, a Finnish specialist in waterfront construction.
