An immersive new sauna ritual experience has arrived at Ikaalinen Spa & Resort – opening up a whole new dimension of sauna culture from July 2025.
Sauna World UTU is now open!
About the Sauna World
The Salt Sauna and Tropical Sauna are already welcoming guests, while the Four Seasons Aufguss Sauna is in its final stages of preparation.
Sauna World UTU can host around 80 guests at a time, offering relaxing sauna moments and access to a large outdoor pool. Entry can be purchased at the Water Tropic reception with your spa ticket – and pre-purchase options will also be available soon.
To enter the sauna world, you’ll need swimwear and slippers. We also recommend bringing a bathrobe and a seat towel. Towels, seat covers, and bathrobes can be rented or purchased from the Water Tropic reception.
The sauna world features three distinct sauna experiences, a large outdoor pool, modern shower facilities, and outdoor cold showers.
Salt Sauna
With a lower temperature, the Salt sauna combines fine salt particles and steam to support respiratory health and skin wellbeing – offering a revitalising and restorative experience.
Tropical sauna
Inspired by nature, this multi-sensory sauna features soothing tropical scents, birdsong, and the sound of flowing water – creating a serene moment of escape.
Four Seasons Aufguss sauna
The crown jewel of Sauna World UTU is the Four Seasons Aufguss Sauna, where themed rituals and atmosphere change with the seasons. The Aufguss is a 10–15 minute sensory sauna ritual led by a sauna master – a deeply relaxing experience especially popular in Central Europe.

Good to know
Sauna World Utu is located in connection with our Tropical Spa area, surrounding the outdoor pool. Access to Sauna World is through the Tropical Spa facilities, so please purchase your ticket at the Tropical Spas counter.
As Sauna World is located outdoors, for hygiene reasons we require all visitors to wear bath slippers in addition to swimwear. You can bring your own slippers or rent them at an affordable price from our counter.
Please wear bath slippers whenever you are in the outdoor areas of Sauna World. For sauna, shower, and pool use, you can leave your slippers in the designated racks. At the entrance, there is a washing station where you can rinse your slippers before returning to the Tropical Spa facilities.
