The smoke sauna
The smoke sauna – the one true indulgence which is not a sin
The carefully hand-constructed smoke sauna of Kaidan Kiho offers an unspoiled experience for approximately six bathers at a time. The soft steam of the sauna, skilfully heated by the owners, is praised even by the members of the Finnish Sauna Society. Usually, you will not want to try a smoke sauna only once, but to go there again and again, possibly every evening.
It takes time and skill to heat a smoke sauna, but at Kaidan Kiho, your host and hostess are happy to heat the sauna and get it ready for bathing on your request. The sauna stove is heated from the outside with logs a metre long. This guarantees especially soft and clean steam that will not irritate your eyes. The Kaidan Kiho smoke sauna, although traditional from the outside, utilises modern know-how to make your sauna experience perfect.
According to a decades old theory on smoke saunas, electropositive ions that have a negative effect on the human body are released from the metal parts of a hot sauna stove. There is no metal in the Kaidan Kiho smoke sauna stoves, so the impact on the sauna goer is purely positive. It is a known fact that after a smoke sauna you feel blissful – come and give it a try!
From the smoke sauna you can easily go and swim in Lake Kaitajärvi. In the winter you can experiment swimming in the hole made in the ice (water shoes are provided). Washing facilities are in the sauna of the villa building. There you will also find luxurious, thick towels. You can rent bath robes and buy slippers from the host and hostess (see the price list).
As in the sauna in the villa, we do not use bath whisks in the smoke sauna.
Next to the smoke sauna, there is a cosy small sleeping cabin with two extra beds for sleeping or relaxing and admiring the beauty of Lake Kaitajärvi. Very often these view beds are among the most wanted when groups are deciding who is going to sleep and where...
