Why an outdoor sauna is the best investment for your backyard?
Friends, summer, BBQ, and chill – it all starts tomorrow! Actually, now is the perfect time to start preparing for the best summer of your life.
Building an outdoor sauna in your backyard is an investment that benefits your body, mind, and property value. While the initial cost of building or purchasing a sauna may seem high, it truly pays off in the long run. Here are just a few reasons why an outdoor sauna is one of the smartest decisions you can make when developing your home.
Good for your health and stress relief
First and foremost, a sauna is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Regular sauna sessions improve circulation, speed up metabolism, and help flush out toxins. Medical experts have highlighted the positive effects of sauna use on cardiovascular health, including reduced risk of high blood pressure.
Saunas also strengthen the immune system and can relieve muscle soreness. For example, Estonian cross-country skier Karel Tammjärv has mentioned how sauna sessions help him recover from intense training.
Besides physical health, saunas are excellent for mental well-being. A relaxing sauna session helps relieve stress and improves sleep quality. Picture this: after a long workday, you sit in your backyard sauna, warm steam caresses your skin, and the quiet surrounds you. It’s the perfect moment to disconnect and unwind.
Convenience and privacy, anytime
Having a sauna in your backyard means no more checking public sauna schedules or sharing the space with strangers. A family living on the outskirts of Tartu, for example, built a small wood-fired outdoor sauna and use it every Friday evening to unwind and wrap up the week in peace. Privacy, tranquility, and freedom – things public saunas can’t offer.
Unlike indoor saunas, an outdoor sauna lets you shape the surrounding environment – imagine a spacious terrace with seating, string lights, or even a hot tub for a luxurious twist.
Increase your property value
Adding an outdoor sauna significantly increases the appeal of your property. For instance, a house in Pärnumaa recently sold quickly thanks in part to a stylish, high-quality outdoor sauna. Real estate agents note that today’s buyers are looking for homes that offer more than just living space – value-adding features like saunas are highly appreciated.
In harmony with nature
An outdoor sauna allows you to connect directly with nature. It’s perfect for year-round use, offering new meaning to every season through relaxation in a natural setting. Think of a winter day when you jump into the snow after a steam, or a warm summer evening with the sunset streaming through the sauna window while friends and family enjoy a BBQ and sauna night together.
Many families have built their outdoor lives around the sauna, adding a large terrace with comfy furniture, a dining table, or an outdoor kitchen – creating a cozy retreat for guests and loved ones.
An outdoor sauna isn’t just a luxury – it’s a practical, multi-faceted investment in your well-being. It improves your quality of life, supports your health, creates opportunities for socializing, and adds real value to your property. Thanks to its many benefits, an outdoor sauna can become the heart of your home – a place for rest, reconnection, and stronger family bonds.
