THE WORLDS BEST FEELING, IN THE HEART OF GOLD COUNTRY

Inspired by the rich sauna traditions of Scandinavia, Placerville Sauna was born from a passion for wellness and community. Our journey began with a 220-year-old Cedar tree from nearby Cedar Grove in Apple Hill. This local giant was carefully milled and lovingly crafted into every element of our sauna.

OUR SPACE

Located in the Heart of Gold Country on Mother Lode Drive, our outdoor sauna and cold plunge come with lockers, showers, a lounge area, and an infrared sauna. We share space with Temple Performance, and Pure Spa. 

Traditional Sauna 

This 18 person sauna was crafted from local Cedar in Camino, CA. The wood was cut, milled, and assembled in Cedar Grove. Come explore our classes or use the sauna and cold plunge at your leisure during Open Sit hours.

Sauna Aroma Therapy 

During a sauna session you can expect to experience a Scandinavia ritual called "Aufguss". The ritual uses essential oils, steam, and music to guide you through an intense or calming experience. 

700 Gallons of Cold Water

After you leave the sauna its best to rinse, then enter the cold plunge. The combination of Hot & Cold has many benefits. See our blog  to learn more. 

Fitness & Sauna 

We are partnered with Temple Performance, a local fitness gym. Come to a work out class then hit the sauna and Aufguss afterwards!
