10 Best Hotel Saunas Around the World

Saunas are having a moment. In the US, we've finally cottoned on to what the Finnish have known for centuries—that sweating it out makes you feel good. Sauna-stocked spas and wellness clubs (like Othership) keep popping up all over major cities, and ads for at-home saunas can be spotted on social media pages across the country. But plenty of wellness hotels worldwide have been doing the sauna thing excellently for years. There are high-tech offerings, such as RXV Wellness Village in Thailand, which has a hyperbaric chamber for skin and tissue regeneration, an infrared sauna, and a cryo sauna for extra-speedy muscle recovery. Then there are the Finnish hotels, many of which have suites with in-room saunas, like Hotel Kämp in Helsinki. In the UK, plenty of lovely hotels are revamping their offerings: Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire recently expanded its spa to include various onsen tubs, three infrared sauna cabins and an ice hut, while at the Lake District's Brimstone Hotel & Spa, you're taken on a thermal journey around a sequence of Finnish, lava, and herbal saunas, before settling in for a blast in the Himalayan steam rooms. Touted benefits of a sweat session include pain relief, deeper sleep, improved circulation and a glowing complexion, so working a few stints into your vacation is a no-brainer. For the top places to soak, steam and sweat yourself happy, see below for our editors' picks of the best hotel saunas in the world to visit in 2025 and beyond. For more wellness inspiration, visit:

How U.K. travel packager Jet2holidays is in the social media spotlight

Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday. That's according to the now-viral audio from U.K. tour operator Jet2holidays, which has found itself in the social media spotlight. TikToks and Instagram Reels abound with audio from a January 2024 ad promoting a Jet2holidays deal that knocked 50 pounds (equal to about $67) per person off a package price. Set to a backing track from Jess Glynne's song "Hold My Hand," a voiceover cheerily begins: "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday ...." And it caught the attention of TikTok users, who began juxtaposing the audio clip with videos showing chaotic or unfortunate moments, whether travel-related or not. Some viral examples of TikTokers using the trending audio include a video of a boater trying to enter Italy's Blue Grotto while the ocean waves repeatedly crash them against the rocks. Another shows a woman's hair catching fire as she leans forward to blow out her birthday candles. According to a Forbes report, the most-liked video using the sound has accumulated 35 million likes on TikTok. In it, a person ostensibly in a hotel room throws open the floor-to-ceiling curtains only to be confronted with a tiny window. The ad "sound" has been used 1.4 million times on TikTok; the original ad on YouTube has received 2.4 million views. A British powerhouse travel packager Jet2holidays may be a relatively unknown travel company to most U.S. travelers, but it calls itself the U.K.'s largest package holiday provider. In its preliminary results for the fiscal year that ended in March and published July 9, Jet2 said it carried a record 19.8 million passengers and 6.6 million package-holiday customers. It recorded 7.17 billion pounds in annual revenue, a 15% increase over the previous fiscal year. Like other package-holiday operators in the U.K. such as TUI, Jet2 has its own hardware: It has a fleet of 135 aircraft and is planning to acquire 132 Airbus A321neo planes over the next 10 years. According to its financial statement, it works with more than 5,000 properties across more than 75 destinations. It also works through travel advisors and is a member of the Association of British Travel Agents. In its financial report it noted that its annual advisor conferences bring together more than 350 of its top-selling travel agents, directors and senior management. How Jet2 has leaned into the viral trend Jet2 did not immediately respond to an inquiry about the viral ad. The ad concept appears to go back as far as 2022, when Jet2 said it was launching a new series of adverts called "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday." The ads featured the Glynne song, and "the message 'contact your local independent travel agent' continues at the heart of the multichannel campaign," it said. But it has since referenced the trend. Earlier this year it unveiled a new version of the audio on TikTok and Instagram, promoting savings of about 400 pounds (about $540) for a family of four. The video amassed 1.4 million likes. The company also used the trending audio to promote a contest to win a 1,000 pound (about $1,300) Jet2holidays voucher. TikTokers who used the new sound in a video were eligible to win the contest, which ran through May 19. The operator also unveiled a discount code referencing the advertisement. It is not the first time a travel brand has catapulted into the public eye because of a viral TikTok moment. A baby, dubbed the "Four Seasons Baby," went viral last year on TikTok after showing her excitement for the Four Seasons Orlando.

Poorly signposted Hallow road closure causing chaos in village

A ROAD closure has caused traffic chaos as villagers say poor signposting has led scores of drivers to a dead end. The A443 has been shut in Hallow between Saturday (July 19) and Friday (July 24) as Severn Trent conducts maintenance work on pipes beneath the road. However, villagers have complained that this work has not been well signposted on the roads leading to the village, and has resulted in many people continuing to drive into the village, not realising there is no way through. Jed Marson, a resident of Hallow, said: "For drivers unfamiliar with the village, or those with out-of-date digital directions, the journey comes to a jarring halt. "Vehicles drove straight down to the closure, paused in confusion, then either performed hurried U-turns or veered into Banks Close, unaware it was a cul-de-sac. "More than one driver reversed out fast, irritated and barely looking, while others simply turned and floored it back the way they'd come. "This might have been funny if it weren't happening outside of homes, beside a popular shop and cafe, with pedestrians trying to thread their way through the fallout." The shop, Ladygo Stores, and the cafe, No.1 Browns Way Coffee Shop, are run by father and son, Mick Baldwin and Tom Baldwin, respectively, who said the road closure has affected business. Tom said: "It's not great for passing trade, but I remember when it was shut for six weeks, and that was horrendous. "From what I've been told, cars keep having to turn around because it's poorly signposted." In the space of five minutes, Worcester News recorded six cars and a bus travelling towards Worcester forced to U-turn at the roadworks. Mick added: "It affects trade because it's all about passing trade for us so, when cars aren't passing, we tend to lose out. "It's a shame because it was all supposed to be done two years ago, when the road was closed for six weeks. "The road should be back open again on Friday, and it doesn't sound like it will run over." Worcestershire County Council was unavailable for comment.
