Our 10 Favorite Airbnbs with a Sauna
Plenty of rentals mention a sauna, but often it belongs to the building or the resort and you share it with strangers. We searched Airbnb's hidden sauna filter on every continent and kept only whole homes where the sauna is yours alone. These are the ten we would book first, from a riad on the Atlantic in Morocco to a glass house on a Swedish lake.
Every home here is the whole place, not a room. Prices are the full Airbnb total for 7 nights, 6 March 2027 to 13 March 2027, for 2 guests, including fees and taxes, checked on 24 October 2026. They change daily, so open the listing for today's price.

Before you book
Before you book, ask the host whether the sauna is wood-fired or electric, and whether firewood is included or costs extra. It is also worth asking how long it takes to heat up, so you can plan your evening around it.
How we chose: we searched every continent for Airbnbs with a sauna, kept only whole homes rated 4.85 or higher whose photos show the sauna, and picked the ten we would most like to stay in, at a range of prices. Nobody paid to be on this list.
