Why Every Hotel Should Have a Sauna

outdoor hotel sauna and spa
Guests these days are looking for more than a comfy bed and a cooked breakfast. They want experiences. They want something that makes them choose your place over the one down the road. And in Scotland, where the air can be crisp even in July, nothing says “memorable stay” quite like stepping into a warm inviting sauna after a day of exploring.

At Scottish Saunas we have saunas that will suit almost any type of accommodation from country hotels and luxury lodges to rustic Airbnbs, caravan parks and holiday cottages. Our barrel saunas, Monarch luxury saunas and mobile saunas each bring something unique to the table and all three have one thing in common. They will make your guests smile and they will remember your place for all the right reasons.

Outdoor Barrel Saunas for Hotels

Barrel saunas are a hit with hoteliers and accommodation providers because they look fantastic and they work beautifully. They heats quickly and evenly, making for an efficient and enjoyable session every time.

They suit a wide range of properties from lochside cottages to woodland lodges, holiday cottages or even a quiet corner of a caravan park. Guests can sit back on smooth wooden benches and watch the steam rise as they pour water over the stones. If you choose a Harvia wood burning heater, they will also get the crackle of the fire and that unmistakable scent of burning logs. For those who prefer a modern twist, Huum electric heaters give a sleek stylish finish and quick heat at the press of a button..

Luxury Monarch Saunas

Our Monarch saunas are designed to impress. These are beautiful rooms with spacious interiors, elegant glass features and high grade materials that complement an upscale environment. They’re perfect for country lodges with spa facilities, boutique hotels, luxury Airbnbs or exclusive holiday cottages.

A Monarch sauna can even form part of a larger spa area within a hotel. Imagine guests stepping out of the sauna into a relaxation lounge, dipping into a hot tub or enjoying a massage treatment, all without leaving your property. It is the kind of wellness package that turns a good stay into a great one.

The Monarch range offers more space for guests to stretch out or for couples and small groups to enjoy together. They feel every bit as refined as a five star spa but without the need for guests to leave your property.

Mobile Saunas for Hotel Chains

Mobile saunas are fully functioning saunas built onto trailers that can be positioned wherever you need them. They are ideal for seasonal use, special events or as a rotating feature between different parts of your site.

For caravan parks, glamping sites, rural retreats and country lodges, a mobile sauna can be a huge draw. Guests staying for a few days love the novelty and the chance to book a private session. You can even use them for pop up wellness experiences or to partner with nearby event venues.

Mobile saunas can also be stored away during quieter months or relocated if you decide to change your site layout. They’re a flexible investment that keeps your offerings fresh and exciting.

Reaping The Benefits With An Outdoor Sauna

Adding a sauna can boost your business in very real ways. Firstly, it sets you apart from other local options. When potential guests are comparing two similar properties, the one with a sauna often wins.

Secondly, it can extend your booking season. Saunas are especially appealing in the cooler months when tourism can dip. By offering a warm inviting experience, you give people a reason to visit even in winter. This is particularly valuable for rural hotels, lodges, caravan parks and Airbnbs that rely on off season bookings to keep revenue steady.

Thirdly, it opens the door to special packages. You could create weekend wellness retreats, romantic getaway deals or post hike recovery offers for walkers and cyclists. Guests are often willing to pay a little more for these added experiences. And if you are a hotel with an existing spa, adding a barrel sauna, Monarch sauna or even a mobile sauna could enhance your wellness offering instantly.

Creating a Sauna Experience

It is not just about the sauna itself. The surrounding experience makes a big difference. A well placed barrel sauna with views over the hills can be a highlight of a guest’s trip. A Monarch sauna with mood lighting and soft music feels like pure indulgence. Consider adding extras like sauna robes, essential oils, or a covered seating area outside for cooling down between sessions. A thermometer and hygrometer inside will let guests fine tune their session. A simple set of printed sauna tips can help first timers enjoy it safely and comfortably.

Installation and Support

We handle delivery and installation across Scotland, making it easy for accommodation providers to get up and running quickly. Our saunas are built from durable materials designed to handle the Scottish climate and with proper care they will serve you for many years. We can also advise on the right heater for your needs whether that is a traditional Harvia wood burner or a modern Huum electric system.

Once in place, saunas are surprisingly low maintenance. Regular cleaning, occasional wood treatment and basic checks on the heater are usually all that is needed. That means more time for you to focus on giving guests a great stay and less time worrying about upkeep.
