Elk Island Retreat, known for its glamping offerings and geodomes, introduced a mirrored sauna, blending relaxation with nature immersion near Edmonton, Alberta. The sauna was imported from Estonia by ÖÖD House.
According to its website, the retreat combines rustic charm with modern relaxation, offering an escape where visitors can reconnect with nature. Surrounded by the natural beauty of its setting, this dry sauna experience provides “warmth, tranquility, and deep a connection with the nature.”
Booking a session in the Mirrored Sauna is simple, with options available for guests staying in accommodations nearby or those looking for a standalone experience. Visitors with accommodation reservations can add a sauna session directly to their stay, while others can book independently.
Due to the sauna’s intimate setting and high demand, early booking is recommended, as availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
A range of amenities enhances the sauna experience. Guests can expect luxury towels, adding an extra touch of comfort, along with eucalyptus oil and Oud chips inspired by the surrounding boreal forest. Essential items, including pre-cut wood, natural fire starters, a copper bucket with water and ladle, and sandals, are provided to ensure an enjoyable session.
To elevate the experience, pairing the Nordic sauna with accommodation options creates an immersive retreat. Extended stays allow guests to fully disconnect, making the sauna a part of a complete, rejuvenating getaway.
“We recommend pairing the Nordic Sauna with one of our accommodation options for a complete retreat experience. Be sure to inquire about our weekday and shoulder-season specials for exclusive pricing on accommodations,” Elk Island Retreat indicated on its website.
Guidelines are in place to ensure the safety and comfort of all visitors. Children under eight are not permitted, and all minors must be accompanied by an adult to maintain a secure environment.
