Saunas and public sauna turns
There are public sauna turns for all our tenants in all our housing locations. The sauna in building A is also available to the users of Rentukka gym. If you want to have a sauna by yourself, you can reserve your own weekly sauna turn. On this page you will find information on where saunas are located and what keys do you need to enter the sauna.
One private sauna turn costs 10 € / month (11 € / month 1st of March 2026 onward). Sauna fee is paid each month together with the rent.
If you want to end your private sauna shift, it needs to be done through the booking system. If you terminate your tenancy agreement, your sauna shift(s) will end automatically when the agreement ends.
