Burnie’s Top Sauna Spots

Taking a sauna is a regular part of many peoples health routines. Here are the best places to sweat it out in Burnie:

Savu Saunas (Waterfront)

Savu brings a beautiful, traditional Nordic sauna experience right to the water's edge. These are wood-fired timber saunas designed to give you a deep, authentic heat.  Located where you can easily look out at the ocean, Savu is famous for the "hot-cold contrast" experience. You spend time in the hot sauna, then take a brave dip in the cool Bass Strait ocean waters, and head back inside. It does wonders for your circulation and leaves you feeling completely refreshed. savu.com.au

Sweaty Penguins (1 Mount Street)

If you prefer a private, modern setup right in the middle of town, Sweaty Penguins is a great choice. They offer private timber barrel saunas that use electric heaters and hot stones. You pour water over the rocks to create a soothing, cleansing steam.  It is entirely self-check-in. You can book a 55-minute session online and enjoy the space entirely by yourself, with a partner, or with a small group of friends. sweatypenguins.com.au

Muscle Up Platinum Club (Cooee)

For deep muscle recovery, this spot offers a modern Infrared Sauna.  Instead of heating the air around you with steam, infrared saunas use gentle light panels to warm your body directly from the inside out.  The temperature is lower and easier to sit in for longer periods. It is highly popular with local athletes who want to relieve sore joints and relax after a heavy workout. muscleuphealthandperformance.com.au
