The barrel sauna, which opened in December 2023, allows for self-löyly, and offers a genuine totonou experience with a cold plunge bath using abundant spring water and an outdoor relaxation space. The facility also includes a dining area, and from early summer to autumn, guests can enjoy private BBQs on the second-floor terrace.
