Experience the soul of Finnish well-being at Seita Forest Spa, the crown jewel of Rukapalvelu. This visionary creation by Jokke Kämäräinen, the father of Rukapalvelu, brings together nature, relaxation and ancient sauna traditions in perfect harmony.
Three Saunas, Three Traditions
The traditional wood-heated Finnish sauna, with its high benches and warm wooden scent, offers a familiar and soothing start to the sauna ritual. After warming up and whisking with birch branches, step into the authentic smoke sauna, where the gentle heat from the masonry stove and the scent of smoke create an atmosphere of deep relaxation.
For a refreshing break, take a dip in the outdoor pool or cool off by listening to the forest’s calm sounds on the spa terrace. To complete your experience, enter the aromatic steam sauna, decorated with stones shaped by Kuusamo’s river rapids, and let the warm mist embrace you. Then, return to the sauna that spoke to your soul the most.

The Finnish Sauna – More Than Just Heat
The Finnish sauna is an ancient ritual that connects body, mind and nature. Its traditions – smoke, steam, silence and the sound of wood crackling in the stove – are deeply woven into Finnish culture.
Smoke sauna – the original form of Finnish sauna, built without a chimney, known for its soft heat and meditative atmosphere
Whisking with birch (vihta) – an old practice that relaxes muscles, improves circulation and fills the sauna with the scent of the forest
Sauna elf – the unseen guardian spirit of every sauna, ensuring respect and peace
Sauna peace – a sacred rule of silence and presence, where time slows and worries fade away
Seita Forest Spa offers an experience that cannot be described – it must be felt. Step into the warmth, listen to the forest, and let your spirit rest.
