Ready to dive into relaxation?
Let’s explore the top private saunas in Copenhagen for the perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and privacy.
In This Post:
1. Hottub Copenhagen
Located in the Refshaleøen area of Copenhagen, Hottub Copenhagen is a private sauna that you can book for an hour for a group of up to 6 people.
Get an uninterrupted relaxation with a stunning view of the waterfront and skyline through a large glass window. If you’re with a group, this is the way to go – and yes, drinks are available for purchase on-site to make it even better!
Besides the sauna, there are also five hot tubs on the dock, each holding up to six people and warmed to 40°C. If you looking for an outdoor sauna experience in Copenhagen, go for the hot tub. Once you book a slot, you and your group get exclusive access to your tub, ensuring a peaceful, private experience.
And here’s the fun part – after warming up in the sauna or hot tub, you can plunge into a free ice-cold tub for a refreshing thrill!
Just remember to bring your swimwear. There’s space to store your belongings, towels are provided, and you’ll find changing rooms and outdoor showers for convenience.
- Hottub Cost (1-6 people) for one hour – 995 DKK
- Sauna (1-6 people) for one hour – 795 DKK
- Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays
2. CopenHot
If you’re looking for something exclusive, CopenHot has a few fun options for private experiences. The Wooden Sauna Hut is ideal for couples or small groups. Bigger crew? Go for the Dragon Sauna! Or, if you’re after a great view, the firewood-heated Panoramic Sauna overlooking CopenHill is an absolute treat. And let’s not forget the Garden Hot Tub – a fire-heated tub kept at a toasty 40°C (104°F).
With so many options for the sheer comfort of privacy, CopenHot is without a doubt one of the best private saunas in Copenhagen.
For those who don’t mind sharing, they offer HotDay sessions, where you can enjoy both the Garden Hot Tubs and the Dragon Sauna for 1.5 hours. Plus, there’s always the chance to refresh with a dip in their icy cold tubs, which, during winter, can be filled with actual ice. Brr, but so worth it!
You are allowed to bring your own wine and beer to make it a little celebration, but leave the snacks at home! They’ve got soft drinks, water, and sodas available on-site, so no outside beverages of that kind are allowed.
They’ve got you covered with essentials too. Changing rooms, showers, and storage are available, and towels are included. Just remember to bring your swimsuit, flip-flops.
- Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays
- Hot Day sessions for 1.5 hours – 350 DKK per person (social sessions)
- Sauna Hut for 1 hour (2-4 people) – 700 DKK
- Garden Hot Tub for 1.5 hours (up to 5-6 people) – 1300 DKK
- Dragon Sauna for 1 Hour (8-10 people) – 1100 DKK
- Panoramic Sauna for 1 hour (10-12 people) – 1100 DKK
3. CPH Float
CPH Float offers an infrared sauna session. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared sauna is heated by infrared rays, which means the heat comes from panels in the walls and floor rather than fire.
The beauty of infrared? It penetrates deeper into the body opening up pores and increasing blood circulation, so you’re sweating at a lower temperature making it a more therapeutic experience. Oh, and did I mention that infrared heat kills 99% of bacteria naturally? Talk about a clean, sterile environment!
The setup is super cozy – just 1-2 people in a private room making it ideal for couples or even a solo escape. Plus, you can connect your phone and play your favorite music or a guided meditation while the sauna works magic on your skin.
Towels are provided, and the clothing is optional.
You can pair the infrared sauna with a luxurious float session or even a massage.
And for just a little extra, you can finish up with a refreshing shower – worth it after that detoxifying sweat session!
- Infrared Sauna cost for one person – 300 DKK
- Infrared Sauna cost for two person – 400 DKK
- Extra 40 DKK for shower
- Opening Hours: 9-21 every day by appointment
Private Infrared saunas are also available at House of Salt and Nord Beauty.
4. La Bachina Sauna
La Banchina, a cafe and restaurant in Refshaleøen, has a private sauna that is popular among the locals. You’ll want to book in advance – reservations open 14 days ahead at 8:00, so set your reminders if you’re aiming for a particular day.
Sessions last a relaxing 1 hour and 45 minutes, accommodating up to eight people, making it an absolute steal deal if you’re bringing a group.
They disinfect the sauna between each group. However, heads up – there’s no formal shower or changing room. There’s a garden hose at the front to rinse off and cool down. The best part? you can jump off in the open water right behind or swim.
I’d suggest bringing two towels, slippers, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. Swimwear? Totally optional. You can go traditional and enjoy the sauna in the nude, which is quite the norm here.
- 800 DKK for 2-8 people
- 35 DKK to rent a towel for extra
5. Winter Island
Winter Island has four floating saunas that you can choose from.
If you’re going with a group, you can rent an entire sauna for up to 10 people, giving you that extra privacy. And here’s a compelling twist: they offer a selection of nine essential oils, so you and your friends can try a DIY Saunagus session, with one of you playing the Gusmaster. If you’re new to it, a friendly staff member will guide you on how to do it.
For a more communal vibe, there are shared saunas and Saunagus sessions too.
Facilities-wise, you’re covered – they’ve got changing rooms, lockers, hot and cold showers, and even a splash bucket for that classic cold-water rush. You can even jump into the canal to take a refreshing dip.
After the sauna sessions, head over to the on-site café. Treat yourself to hot drinks, cocktails, beers, or even a stone-oven pizza, and a salad. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after the sauna and hang out a little longer!
Also remember that everyone needs to reserve their sauna slot, even if you’re a member. Check-in at the bar after you arrive.
- 1200 DKK for one hour for 10 people maximum
- 2000 DKK for two hours for 10 people maximum
- 300 DKK for nine essential oils + staff instructions
- Towels extra
6. Just Sauna
Whether you’re staying put at the port or want the mobile sauna to come to you, Just Sauna has both options, each offering a unique twist on the sauna experience!
The Port Sauna: A classic wood-fired sauna, perfect for a bigger gathering or a memorable private event. It can comfortably fit up to 20 people.
You get 1.5 hours to relax, and there are options. If you want a real treat, add a professional Sauna Master for 3,600 DKK, they’ll work their magic with three rounds of essential oil-infused Saunagus sessions using Fischer Pure Nature and Esensera oils. Without the sauna master, it costs 3000 DKK.
For the Port Sauna, you’ll have access to indoor changing rooms, toilets, outdoor showers, a cold tub, fresh water, light snacks, and lemonades. The setup is ideal for a big, comfortable experience.
The Mobile Sauna: A mobile sauna that can come to you, wherever you are – so long as you’ve got the space.
With a capacity of up to 14 people, you’ll get a mobile sauna with two large panoramic windows providing the outside views making it a unique blend of warmth and scenery.
The flexibility of the mobile sauna adds a special touch – You can rent it for an hour to a full week. Plus, it’s entirely private, giving you and your group full access to unwind in peace.

7. Butchers Heat
Butchers Heat has two setups: the Sauna Truck – a mobile sauna housed in a converted military truck, and the Stationary Sauna located at Amager Bakke.
The stationary sauna fits around 15 people, while the Sauna Truck holds up to 12. Both can be rented for private events, from bachelor parties to corporate outings.
You can also have a Saunagus session crafted just for you and your friends, complete with three rounds of steam infused with fragrant essential oils, dim lighting, and mood-setting music. Plus, during breaks, you get snacks and water – and you can take a refreshing dip in the tub!
Prices for private events start from 4300 DKK at the Sauna Truck’s regular pop-up spot at Margretheholms Havn. Want it at another location? They can do that too, though extra costs may apply based on travel and setup.

Private Sauna Etiquette in Copenhagen: What You Need to Know
- Swimsuits or proper attire are required in most of these saunas, even in private ones – unless it’s specifically mentioned otherwise. For instance, La Banchina’s sauna and some infrared saunas have optional clothing policies. So, make sure to double-check the dress code before you head out!
- Bringing your own food isn’t allowed in many saunas, so pack light.
- Some saunas allow light drinking, but showing up drunk? That’s a no-go. If you show up under the influence of alcohol, they might turn you away, and yep, no refunds. However, you’re allowed to buy drinks from the onsite bar (if any) during your session but don’t overdo it. Safety first! Personally, I don’t recommend drinking since it will lead to double dehydration.
- Don’t be late! Arriving on time ensures you get the full sauna experience without any rush.
- Carry two towels, one for you to sit on the benches (mandatory) and the other to get yourself dried after the sauna session. I also recommend carrying flip-flops since the floor is slippery in the area.
- Saunas are often places for relaxation and a quiet atmosphere. Keep the conversations low and be respectful of everyone.
- Photography and videography are strictly not allowed in any Sauna in Denmark.
Agalya’s Private Sauna Tip
Here’s a little tip that’s worked wonders for me: check out Facebook pages for sauna!
La Banchina, for example, has a FB page where people often post when they’ve booked a spot for 8 people (which costs around 800 DKK).
Sometimes, they’ve got extra seats available and will happily let others join for the same cost per person, around 100 DKK. It’s a fantastic way to score a spot in a private sauna experience without paying the full price. Sure, it’s not entirely private, but honestly, who cares? It’s been a budget-friendly sauna hack that’s saved me several times.
I have also used Sauna Hot Tub and Sea. There are several such FB groups.
