Steam saunas in Vancouver, Canada
Art of Sauna
A multi-room thermal complex on 6th Street in Burnaby where one $52.50 admission opens all eight rooms: a Finnish dry sauna, a traditional sauna, a dry aroma sauna, Roman, aroma and eucalyptus steam rooms, and a Himalayan salt room, with a cool-down zone between rounds. Staff also perform Russian banya parenie and Turkish hammam rituals, and massage and spa treatments are booked separately. Bathing suits are mandatory in the saunas and the venue is 16 and over. Closed Wednesdays.
Hastings Reflexology & Sauna
A public bath house on East Hastings operating since 1926, now run as eight private sauna suites rather than a shared floor. The rooms cover three high-heat saunas, three steam saunas and two hybrid infrared cabins, two of them couples' rooms and most holding up to four guests, each with its own private shower. Sessions are suggested at fifty minutes and can be paired with reflexology or body massage. Open Thursday to Monday 11am to 11pm, Wednesday from noon, closed Tuesday.
Miraj Hammam Spa
Canada's first hammam, open in Vancouver's Fairview since November 2000 and booked privately for one client at a time. The signature Hammam and Gommage is $135, or $185 with a body rhassoul mud mask, and massage or facial packages run from $235. Every treatment includes a sarong, robe, towel and slippers; the gommage is traditionally performed without clothing, though a swimsuit may be worn. Open 9am to 9pm Friday to Sunday, 10am to 7pm midweek.
