HotSpot Sauna Vervet is a floating sauna in Tromso, the Arctic capital of Norway, offering one of the most extraordinary sauna settings anywhere in the world. Located at Vervet on the Tromso waterfront, this sauna provides the rare opportunity to bathe in the Arctic while watching for the northern lights overhead during winter.
The floating cabin heats up beautifully against the Arctic cold, and stepping into the sea around Tromso is a profound cold-water experience. During the polar night from November to January, sessions take place in complete darkness lit only by the sauna glow and, if you are lucky, the aurora borealis. During summer, the midnight sun creates an entirely different but equally magical atmosphere.
Tromso is a vibrant Arctic city with excellent restaurants, a strong cultural scene, and easy access to wilderness adventures. The sauna is centrally located and accessible on foot. This is a must-do activity for visitors to northern Norway, so booking well in advance is essential, particularly during the northern lights season.
