8 Best Home Saunas in Singapore

Though most people experience the sauna that is our Singaporean weather on a daily basis, having access to an actual sauna sounds extraordinarily boujee. But did you know you can have your very own private sauna at home? 

You can skip the (possible) bacteria and the awkwardness of sharing the enclosed space by getting one of these saunas to relax. From portable saunas to permanent installations, infrared vs steam saunas, I’ll explain which ones might work for you, list 8 home saunas you can find in Singapore, and share how much they’ll set you back.

Infra-Red vs Steam Saunas

Before we head to the list, it’s important to understand the two types of saunas.

Infrared saunas, often referred to as dry saunas, use a heating element, such as a stove, to warm a small space. They produce both dry heat and infrared heat, which is not visible to the eye. This infrared heat penetrates deeply, effectively raising your internal body temperature and is particularly effective for reducing pain and enhancing blood flow, as it can reach several centimeters into the tissue.

In contrast, steam saunas are the classic type associated with high humidity and heat. These saunas warm the air rather than the body directly and typically operate at much higher temperatures than infrared saunas, which might lead you to spend less time inside.

Choosing a type of sauna would depend on your preference. You may find the lower temperatures of infrared saunas more comfortable, allowing you to enjoy longer sessions. And you’re considering a personal sauna for home use, an infrared sauna could be a more cost-effective option. They tend to be more energy-efficient than steam saunas that use electrical heaters.

However, it’s worth noting that modern infrared saunas may emit higher levels of electromagnetic field radiation (EMF) compared to traditional steam saunas, and though there’s no link between EMF exposure and illnesses, it may be a deciding factor for some. Overall, while infrared saunas offer deeper heat penetration without the suffocating feeling of steam, many portable saunas available are still steam models.
