What is Sauna Va Beach PNW?

Yes, we recommend booking ahead to secure your spot. Walk-ups may be available during public events, but reservations guarantee your time in the sauna.

Are there showers or cold plunges?
Weβre surrounded by abundant natural water, so rather than traditional cold plunges, we embrace whatβs already here.
Our sauna locations are intentionally near rivers, bays, and the ocean, inviting you to take a refreshing dip in nature.
Outdoor rinse stations are also available just outside the sauna. -
Can I book for private groups or events?
Because each city, park, and private property has its own regulations, itβs the hostβs responsibility to confirm permitted land use and provide written approval before a booking can be confirmed.
To ensure safe setup and operation, the host must provide proof of:
Restroom/changing facilities on site
Stable, level ground (minimum ___β Γ ___β)
Safe towing access and clearance from hazards
Ground stability and safety for guests
Compliance with local fire and event safety regulations
-
What should I bring/know?
Swimsuit or comfortable sauna attire
Two towels β one to sit on, one to dry off
Flip-flops or sandals
Hooks are available for coats and hats
Bottled water is available for purchase
Since our sauna is always on the move, space is limited. Each selected location includes restroom and changing facilities for guest use.
While weβre unable to store large items, individual lockers (approx. 12" x 12") with keys are provided for small personal belongings.
Please note that phones are not permitted inside the sauna at any time. -
Where can I host a sauna event?
As a mobile sauna, Sauna Va Beach PNW can only operate on properties or event sites that are approved and permitted for temporary use.
Because each city, park, and private property has its own regulations, itβs the collaboratorβs responsibility to confirm permitted land use and provide written approval before a booking can be confirmed.Hosts must also ensure:
Safe access for towing and setup
Restroom/changing facilities on site
Adequate distance from structures or vegetation
Ground stability and safety for guests
Weβll happily provide setup dimensions and safety specs to make this process easy β but the final responsibility for permission and site readiness rests with the host.
