Connection in Design – The 5 Person Outdoor Sauna Range
A 5 person outdoor sauna offers a rare kind of freedom: the space to share wellness without sacrificing intimacy. These cabins invite you to slow down, whether that’s stretching out after a long day, gathering friends for a weekend ritual, or creating new family traditions around the heat. With premium timbers, seamless insulation, and refined wooden sauna design, they embody wellness made architectural.
The collection presents two distinct expressions in cabin form: the AIRA®, minimalist and sociable, and the EDEN®, luminous and conversational. Alongside these, the 5 person barrel sauna offers a traditional alternative – compact, efficient, and rustic in character, with curved timber walls that create a cocooning atmosphere. Together, they form part of Finnmark’s wider range of outdoor saunas, where enduring craftsmanship and modern living converge.

AIRA® & EDEN®: 5 Person Outdoor Sauna Cabins
Finnmark’s 5 person garden sauna cabins offer two distinct ways to bring the ritual of heat bathing into daily life.
- AIRA® is pared-back and sociable. The opposing bench system sets bathers face to face, turning each session into a moment of conversation as well as restoration. Its open-plan layout gives space to stretch out, while the warm glow of backrest lighting softens the timber as evening falls. Thermo Aspen or Alder interiors stay smooth and gentle against the skin, even at higher temperatures. With heater options that can be paired to a smart control system, AIRA® moves easily between quiet solo unwinds and lively family gatherings.
- EDEN® is designed around light and openness. A full-glass door and wide side window frame the garden beyond, so the experience is never cut off from its surroundings. Inside, an L-shaped bench brings people together naturally, whether for relaxed conversation or companionable silence. Precision detailing in the thermo-treated timber makes the cabin feel calm and tactile, while powerful heater choices – electric or wood-fired – allow you to set the rhythm of the session.
Both cabins are built on resilient CLT structures and finished in thermally modified Nordic timber, chosen for stability and long life outdoors. AIRA® brings clarity and sociability; EDEN® expands the sense of space and connection to the landscape. Each offers a different atmosphere, but both are crafted to turn a simple garden building into a place where time slows down and life feels balanced.
The 5 Person Garden Sauna in Barrel Form
The 5 person barrel sauna is a piece of Finnish heritage adapted for modern gardens. Its rounded walls change how the sauna feels; heat rises and circulates smoothly, so the atmosphere is consistent whether you’re sitting upright or leaning back, and the room warms with remarkable speed.
Crafted from thermally modified Nordic spruce, the structure is built to endure decades outdoors. The treatment strengthens the timber against moisture and weather, while drawing out a rich, warm tone that settles naturally into its surroundings over time.
Inside, the curved, ready-made benches run long and generous, giving five bathers plenty of space to recline or sit together. Wide glazed doors on some models frame views outwards, while designs with a changing room create a sheltered transition before you step into the heat. The black thermo-wood option offers a striking, architectural finish for those who want tradition with a contemporary edge.
The choice of heating completes the experience. An electric stove gives predictable convenience, ideal for everyday use. A wood-burning heater brings something else entirely: the stacking of logs, the dry heat of the firebox, and the hiss of water as steam surges from the stones.
The result is a 5 person outdoor sauna that feels elemental and enduring – one that’s efficient to run, generous in use, and rooted in a form that has defined Finnish sauna culture for generations.
Accessories That Elevate Every Session
The perfect finishing touches transform heat bathing into a complete wellness ritual, adding layers of comfort, authenticity, and care to every session.
A traditional sauna hat shields the head from the most intense heat, allowing longer, more balanced sessions. Wrap yourself in premium sauna towels and robes, designed to extend warmth and comfort well beyond the benches. For deeper relaxation, natural massage tools and exfoliation products invigorate the skin, renewing both body and mind.
No authentic sauna would be complete without the vihta: a hand-tied whisk of birch branches, steeped in ritual and known for its circulation-boosting, skin-stimulating properties. Alongside it, a beautifully crafted wooden bucket and ladle become the heartbeat of the experience, releasing bursts of steam that animate the room and enrich the atmosphere.
Each accessory is selected with the same care as the cabins themselves – durable, purposeful, and steeped in Finnish tradition. Together, they elevate a sauna cabin like AIRA® or EDEN® into a fully realised personal spa, where detail and ritual meet in perfect harmony.
FAQs
How long does it take to heat a 5 person outdoor sauna?
Heating a 5 person outdoor sauna depends on your chosen heater, the season, and where the sauna is placed. In warmer months with an electric stove, the cabin may feel ready within an hour, while colder weather or exposed sites naturally take longer. Wood-burning heaters extend the process but deliver a traditional atmosphere. For the most efficient performance, good sauna insulation and a sheltered placement help minimise heat-up times.
Can a 5 person outdoor sauna be used all year round in the UK?
Absolutely – a 5 person outdoor sauna is built to perform in every season. Thermally modified Nordic timbers provide natural sauna insulation, ensuring the cabin retains warmth even through frost, rain, or coastal winds. Weather-resistant materials and precision joinery protect the structure from swelling or warping, so the sauna remains stable as the climate shifts.
To preserve the exterior’s beauty, applying a breathable oil or stain once a year is recommended, particularly in harsher or exposed locations. With these simple measures, your sauna becomes a reliable retreat for outdoor wellness all year round; from summer evenings with friends to deep winter sessions that capture the true spirit of Finnish heat bathing.
How energy efficient is a 5 person outdoor sauna?
A 5 person outdoor sauna from Finnmark is designed with energy efficiency in mind. Thermally modified Nordic timbers provide natural sauna insulation, keeping heat inside the cabin and reducing energy demand. Advanced electric heaters are engineered to maintain steady warmth with minimal power use, while wood-burning stoves rely on renewable fuel for a more traditional approach. Together, these details ensure you enjoy authentic heat therapy with respect for both cost and sustainability.
Is a 5 person external sauna suitable for a family?
Yes, a 5 person external sauna is an excellent choice for families. Its generous proportions mean children and adults can enjoy the experience together, with seating options that allow for both intense heat and gentler warmth. Durable, weather-resistant materials ensure it withstands regular use, while the sociable layouts of models like AIRA® and EDEN® encourage conversation and connection. It’s a family sauna that balances both comfort and practicality.
Can a 5 person garden sauna be installed on decking or paving?
A 5 person garden sauna can be safely installed on decking or paving, provided the base is strong, level, and capable of carrying the cabin’s full weight. Many customers integrate their sauna into a decked terrace for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. For long-term stability and proper drainage, Finnmark recommends ensuring the foundation is well-prepared – whether that’s reinforced decking, paving stones, or a concrete pad.
How much space do I need for a 5 person outdoor sauna?
A 5 person outdoor sauna requires a stable area slightly larger than its footprint. Cabins are carefully proportioned to remain harmonious in a garden setting, while barrels make efficient use of their rounded shape. Allowing clearance around the sauna ensures ventilation, access, and easy maintenance. If you’re unsure about fit, Finnmark’s specialists can advise on the best placement for your space.
