Private saunas in Victoria, Canada
RITUAL Nordic Spa
A Nordic sauna house in Harris Green, four blocks from downtown, built around a two-hour hot-cold-rest circuit: a basswood Finnish sauna up to 90°C, a eucalyptus steam room, a 9°C cold plunge pool, Nordic bucket showers and a Himalayan salt lounge. Private suites add a four-person cedar sauna with soaking tub and an infrared sauna for two. Circuits cost $59 midweek and $69 on weekends; 18+ only. Tuesday evenings are silent sauna.
Wildwood Saunas
A Vancouver Island sauna company that runs a wood-heated Nordic-style sauna at Bilston Creek Farm in Metchosin, on the western edge of Greater Victoria. Sessions pair the sauna, heated to 70-100°C, with a cold plunge tank and a forest shower, and run about 90 minutes; private one-hour bookings are also offered. Bathing suits are required and nudity is not allowed. Book online in advance.
Ærth Saunas
An open-air sauna village tucked into a downtown alley beside the Huntingdon Hotel, near the Inner Harbour. Two shared saunas each carry an intention, a silent Quiet Sauna and a Ceremony Sauna for guided rituals, and a bookable private sauna holds six to eight people. Aufguss runs daily in the evening, and 6-7°C cold plunge pools sit outside. The 1 h 45 min drop-in cycle starts every 30 minutes and costs $47 to $57; phones stay at reception.
