7 Best Saunagus in Copenhagen
Looking for the best Saunagus experience in Copenhagen? Saunagus (the Danish practice of guided sauna sessions) is a must-try for a truly unique and refreshing way to unwind.
Saunagus is an aromatherapy in a sauna. A sauna master or gusmaster works with a combination of essential oils on the hot stones and swings the rhythmic heat waves with a towel. The calming atmosphere created is designed to leave you feeling completely rejuvenated.
Where do you go for the best Saunagus experience? Having lived in Copenhagen, I know exactly where to find the most relaxing and invigorating Saunagus. I have curated a list of five spots that primarily focused and specialized in Saunagus.
Copenhagen offers a wide range of beautifully designed wellness centers with skilled Gusmasters where you can indulge in this mindful, soothing practice.
Ready to feel refreshed and recharged?
Let’s explore the best Saunagus experiences in Copenhagen for a perfect escape.
In This Post:
1. Inipi Saunagus
Located in the Amagerstrand area of Copenhagen, the Inipi Saunagus experience has two huts. It offers one hour of guided experience by a Gusmaster, where you’ll go through three intense rounds of 12 minutes each.
For just 150 DKK per session, each round is designed to build up the heat with soothing aromas of the essential oil and the skilled movement of hot, moist air. Some people may find the heat quite intense.
Between the sessions, you can cool off by taking a dip in the sea or there is a hose attached to the tap water. The contrast of intense heat and cold is honestly such a refreshing experience.
To keep you hydrated and fueled, they offer water, tea, and a little snack like nuts or pretzels.
You can go solo or with friends (they even offer private sessions for groups of 10 or more). Just remember, swimwear is mandatory, and bringing a towel to sit on it is a must.
If you’re into that strong heat and love a guided, relaxing atmosphere with experienced Gusmasters, you’ll absolutely enjoy this spot!
2. Butcher’s Heat Saunagus
Butchers Heat offers two unique saunagus experiences in Copenhagen – the stationary sauna at Margretheholmen Havn, Refshaleøen, and the mobile Sauna Truck, a converted military truck that moves to various locations across Copenhagen.
The stationary sauna can host up to 15 people, while the Sauna Truck has room for about 12, making both options great for a cozy group sauna session. They offer Saunagus sessions for children too.
For around an hour, you’ll be treated to three rounds of Saunagus, led by an experienced Gusmaster. Each round lasts about 10-12 minutes, combining pure essential oils, dimmed lighting, and soothing music to create an immersive and relaxing experience.
Between rounds, you get a chance to cool off with snacks, water, and a dip in the tub—a refreshing break before diving back into the heat.
The Gusmaster works magic by waving a towel to circulate the aroma and heat, creating perfect aromatherapy, and adding benefits like improved circulation, relaxation, and general well-being
I recommend you to book early as the spots get filled up pretty fast. Pricing starts at 220 DKK per person, depending on the location in Copenhagen. Butcher’s Heat is one of the most loved saunagus in Copenhagen.
Bring your swimwear and a towel (or rent for 25 DKK) and get ready to be pampered with a Saunagus experience!
3. Innercise
Imagine sweating it out in a Saunagus session on a rooftop terrace with an amazing view, then cooling off with an ice tub filled with ice cubes between rounds!
Each session costs 200 DKK, and they even offer “extra hot” sessions at the same price if you’re looking for something more intense.
The Innercise Saunagus only uses pure essential oils, adding to the overall relaxation and calmness, and boosting circulation. If you’re into breathing exercises, you can book a separate breathing training session which happens before jumping into the ice bath to prepare for the heat and cold contrast.
Make sure to bring swimwear, flip-flops, and two towels – one to sit on in the Saunagus and another to dry off.
It’s recommended to book in advance, especially during winter, as these sessions are popular. I’m sure this experience will leave you refreshed and recharged!
4. Just Sauna
Just Sauna offers two different types of sessions to fit your needs:
Essentials: This one’s 3 rounds over an hour, led by a Sauna Master Apprentice. It’s a great intro if you’re new to the saunagus world. For 170 DKK, you’ll get the basics with a soothing atmosphere, cold showers, and a tub for cooling down in between rounds.
Professional: Feeling adventurous? Go for the Professional session for 1.5 hours costing 200 DKK. It’s 4 rounds plus an ice bath, guided by a more experienced sauna master. It provides a deeper experience and is perfect if you’re after that extra intensity and want to go all out with the ice-cold contrast.
Each round is 10-12 minutes long, giving you just the right amount of time to soak in the heat before a cool-off. Clothing is optional, but bring two towels: one for you to sit on and another to dry off afterward. And don’t worry if you forget – they have rentals on site.
To keep hydrated, they’ve got fresh water, lemonade, and light snacks on board. Changing facilities are available both indoors and outdoors, so you’re all set.
This setup really gives you a full experience, whether you’re easing into it or going pro!
5. Plugin Heat Club / The Plugin Zone
Imagine a sauna experience that’s more than just heat and steam – it’s about reconnecting with yourself. Plugin Heat Club’s focus goes beyond just oils or heat. It’s about guiding you back to a place of peace and focus. It features passionate facilitators who really know their stuff.
The setup is flexible with options like HIGH sessions if you’re in the mood for upbeat music and elevated energy, or DEEP sessions if you’re craving a calm, meditative vibe.
Each session includes three rounds of Saunagus lasting 10-15 minutes, with three breaks in between, where you can opt for an ice bath. There’s a good rhythm to it – sauna, ice bath, repeat.
Pricing is straightforward – one ticket for 250 DKK, four for 800 DKK, or eight for 1500 DKK. And they’ve got you covered with free parking, electrolytes, water, and changing rooms. Just remember to bring your own towels and swimwear.
It’s one of the best Saunagus in Copenhagen, perfect for those seeking both a physical and mental reset!
6. Sauna 85
A saunagus session at Sauna 85 is 75 minutes, divided into three 12-minute rounds, with breaks in between to cool down, hydrate, and reset. You’ll feel the heat, the refreshing cold, and the calming scents of essential oils—it’s the perfect balance for your body and mind.
Sauna 85 is located at Nørrebro/Nordvest, Sydhavn, and Indre By in Copenhagen.
Each session costs 200 DKK, and there are discounts if you’re booking as a group. The sauna has space for 20 people, so it’s a cozy but comfortable setup.
Make sure to bring swimwear, two towels, drinking water, and bathing shoes. Sessions fill up fast, so I recommend booking early to secure your spot.
7. Mobile Sauna
Mobile Sauna has been run by three passionate young adults since 2022.
Each 75-minute saunagus session is carefully planned, with space for up to 12 people, so it never feels overcrowded.
For just 200 DKK per person, you can have an experience that lets you fully unwind. And if you’re coming with a group, there are discounts to make it even better.
What I love is that you’ve got two great options. You can book their mobile sauna units for a private session. These can be delivered anywhere in Copenhagen or on the island of Zealand, perfect if you want a customized experience. Or, if you prefer a more rooted vibe, there’s the permanent sauna at Banegaarden.
Booking is highly recommended at Mobile Sauna.
And don’t forget the essentials—swimwear, bathing slippers, a water bottle, and two towels (one to sit on and one for drying off).
