Infrared Sauna

Watch →

The infrared sauna is one of the most requested amenities at The Fernweh House. Unlike traditional saunas, it uses deep-penetrating infrared heat at lower temperatures — a gentler, longer soak that's easier on the body.

Preparation

• —Drink a full glass of water before your session
• —Press the power button on the sauna control panel
• —Set the temperature to 140°F–160°F
• —Set the timer to 60 minutes — the sauna takes about 45 minutes to preheat; heat turns off when the timer reaches zero
• —Press the Interior/Exterior Lights button to turn the lights on

Getting In

• —Wear a provided robe and place a towel on the bench before sitting
• —Connect your device via Bluetooth to the integrated audio system (optional)
• —Adjust the Chromotherapy mood lighting with the small remote inside
• —Increase the timer once inside to your preferred session length

During Your Session

Start with 20–30 minutes if it's your first session. Step out for a few minutes if you need a break, then re-enter. Listen to your body — there's no rush.

Cool Down

• —Step out and cool down gradually — don't rush this part
• —Drink water to rehydrate
• —A cool shower helps close pores and rinse off sweat

Safety Notes

• —Consult a doctor before use if you have heart conditions, are pregnant, or have heat sensitivity
• —Do not use if you have consumed alcohol
• —Children should not use the sauna without adult supervision
• —Always use a towel on the bench to protect the wood
