Updated 30 Oct 20269 saunas comparedOrdered by our published method
9 made-to-order designer saunas, from $21,276 to $75,028. They sit in their own luxury class: each is scored only against the others here, so their scores can't be compared with the rest of the catalog, and adding them didn't move any other sauna's score. Our methodology explains the class, and outdoor saunas covers the mainstream cabins and barrels.

What sets this class apart
All 9 are traditional saunas with a Harvia electric heater and Wi-Fi control included, large glass walls and LED lighting. Like the rest of our traditional saunas, they heat stones you can pour water on. Most are built to order, which the seller puts at roughly 8 to 12 weeks before delivery, and freight is quoted separately for each order. 4 of the outdoor cabins arrive fully assembled on a flatbed and need a forklift or crane to place.
Two things are thinner than in the mainstream catalog. The seller publishes heater size but not the voltage or amperage, so a licensed electrician has to size the circuit; our electrical guide explains what heaters of this size usually need, and installation cost covers the wiring and site work. And the published warranty is short: 8 of the 9 list one year, against several years for many cheaper saunas.

Nordic Misty Outdoor Cabin, Small Electric (3-Person)
Their prices run up to $75,028. Scoring value against kit saunas would push every other sauna's value score around, so the luxury class is compared only within itself. That keeps the rest of the catalog's scores exactly as they were.
Do luxury saunas need special wiring?
Their heaters run from 6 to 10.5 kW. The seller doesn't publish the voltage or amperage, so a licensed electrician should size the circuit before you order.
How long do they take to arrive?
The seller lists them as made to order, roughly 8 weeks for indoor rooms and 12 weeks for outdoor cabins, plus flatbed delivery.
