10 Best Hotel Saunas Around the World Worthy of Your Next Sweat Session

Saunas are having a moment. In the US, we’ve finally cottoned on to what the Finnish have known for centuries—that sweating it out makes you feel good. Sauna-stocked spas and wellness clubs (like Othership) keep popping up all over major cities, and ads for at-home saunas can be spotted on social media pages across the country.
But plenty of wellness hotels worldwide have been doing the sauna thing excellently for years. There are high-tech offerings, such as RXV Wellness Village in Thailand, which has a hyperbaric chamber for skin and tissue regeneration, an infrared sauna, and a cryo sauna for extra-speedy muscle recovery. Then there are the Finnish hotels, many of which have suites with in-room saunas, like Hotel Kämp in Helsinki. In the UK, plenty of lovely hotels are revamping their offerings: Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire recently expanded its spa to include various onsen tubs, three infrared sauna cabins and an ice hut, while at the Lake District’s Brimstone Hotel & Spa, you’re taken on a thermal journey around a sequence of Finnish, lava, and herbal saunas, before settling in for a blast in the Himalayan steam rooms.
Touted benefits of a sweat session include pain relief, deeper sleep, improved circulation and a glowing complexion, so working a few stints into your vacation is a no-brainer. For the top places to soak, steam and sweat yourself happy, see below for our editors’ picks of the best hotel saunas in the world to visit in 2025 and beyond.

How we choose the best sauna hotels in the world
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind.

Why the Best Solo Trip I Took Was a Disney Cruise; Good for Adults

I was stressed, sun-starved, and desperate for a break when I impulsively booked a last-minute Disney cruise just four days before it set sail.
It was December, and the Pacific Northwest’s gray skies and cold rain were weighing on me as the holidays loomed just around the corner.
I hadn’t planned to go anywhere, but when I spotted a deeply discounted cabin on a Christmas-themed Disney cruise leaving from Florida, I booked it and planned to set sail solo.
A few days later, I flew across the country in search of sunshine, rest, and maybe a little bit of magic. One thought kept nagging me, though: Would I feel out of place going alone on a family-oriented cruise at Christmas?
I pictured myself wandering the ship alone, sitting at dinner surrounded by Mickey-ear-wearing families, while I was quietly sipping a cocktail in the corner.
Fortunately, my fears were far from reality.
I didn’t feel out of place, and I even made friends with other solo travelers
Chantelle Kincy
Once I was on board, the trip just felt easy. The staff was warm and never once made me feel like being a party of one was unusual.
Dinner time was one of my biggest anxieties — would I be eating each meal alone or awkwardly paired with a family? Instead, staff thoughtfully seated me with a group of five other solo travelers.
Our conversation flowed easily, and by the end of the night, I had new friends and familiar faces around the ship. I could spend time with them when I wanted or slip away whenever I needed. It felt like the best of both worlds.
Although there were many children on the cruise, there were plenty of activities for adults and kid-free areas that I made use of daily.
I booked spa treatments, lounged in the Rainforest Room (complete with hot tubs and saunas), watched Broadway-worthy shows, and curled up on a quiet deck with a book.
I explored the ship, wandered into the adults-only pool, stopped for coffee in the lounge, and took a long nap just because I could.
Plus, I got to partake in activities I wouldn’t have done with my husband
Chantelle Kincy
The cruise sailed from Fort Lauderdale with stops in Nassau and Disney’s private islands, Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay.
I had initially planned to stay on the ship in Nassau, but that morning, I changed my mind.
My husband doesn’t swim, so I rarely get to snorkel when we travel together. This time, I was free to do as I pleased. I booked a catamaran excursion and spent the day swimming in clear Bahamian waters, surrounded by fish and sunshine.
At both private islands, I also explored adults-only beaches with turquoise waters and wandered quieter paths away from the crowds.
My trip was incredible, and I’d absolutely recommend a Disney cruise to other solo travelers
Chantelle Kincy
There’s a special kind of joy in solo travel — the freedom, the clarity, the quiet confidence. Fortunately, Disney really delivered on ensuring that cruising alone was an absolute blast.
I laughed at shows, found serenity in the spa, and watched fireworks light up the ocean sky with people I’d just met. I was never lonely. I never felt out of place. I was just … happy.
Disney cruises may be marketed to families, but there’s a quiet kind of magic waiting for adults, too, especially those who come alone. It’s in the thoughtful touches, the calm corners, and the unspoken permission to enjoy things simply because they spark joy.
I came home rested, recharged, and reminded of something important: I don’t need anyone else to have a meaningful experience.
I can trust myself to take the trip, find the magic, and enjoy the ride, even when it looks a little different from what I expected.
