All-weather. All-cedar. All yours.

The Golden Designs Drammen 3-Person Outdoor Traditional Sauna is a statement piece — a premium, all-weather outdoor sauna cabin built for year-round use with a natural Canadian red cedar interior that fills every session with the warm, aromatic scent that only real cedar delivers. At 79.2"W × 71"D × 88.3"H with a spacious 75"W × 53.4"D × 75"H interior, the Drammen is built to impress from the outside and perform from the inside.

The 8.0 kW stove with built-in controls powers the cabin to an ideal range of 170–185°F — the authentic high-heat traditional sauna experience. Pour water over the stones for a traditional löyly steam, settle into the backrest with accent lighting, and let the heat do its work. The oversized chromotherapy lighting system with dedicated red light therapy feature, Bluetooth-connected speakers with FM radio, and interior LED control panel make every session as immersive as you want it to be.

The all-weather exterior is engineered to handle the elements year-round, while the clear tempered glass door keeps the interior feeling open and connected to your outdoor space. Sandglass, bucket, and scoop are included — everything you need for a traditional sauna ritual from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Drammen a "traditional" sauna vs an infrared sauna?
The Drammen uses an 8.0 kW electric stove to heat the cabin air to 170–190°F — the authentic Finnish sauna experience. You can pour water over the heated stones to create löyly (steam), which raises humidity and intensifies the heat. Infrared saunas heat the body directly at lower temperatures (118–140°F) without steam. Traditional saunas like the Drammen deliver a more intense, culturally authentic experience.

Can the Drammen be installed outdoors year-round?
Yes. The Drammen features an all-weather exterior specifically engineered for outdoor installation in varying climates. The Canadian red cedar interior is naturally resistant to moisture and heat cycling, making it well-suited for permanent outdoor placement on a deck, patio, or backyard.

What electrical requirements does the Drammen need?
The Drammen requires two separate circuits: a 240V / 40-amp circuit for the stove and a 120V / 15-amp circuit for the lighting and audio system. Both require professional electrical installation by a licensed electrician. Plan for this before scheduling delivery — this is not a plug-and-play installation.

What is löyly and how does it work in the Drammen?
Löyly (pronounced "loy-lu") is the Finnish tradition of pouring water over heated sauna stones to create a burst of steam. The Drammen's 8.0 kW stove heats a bed of stones that retain heat intensely. Pouring water over them creates a wave of humid heat that raises the perceived temperature and opens the pores more aggressively than dry heat alone. The included bucket and ladle make this ritual effortless.

How does the Drammen compare to the Visby hybrid sauna?
Both are 3-person outdoor saunas with 8.0 kW stoves and all-weather exteriors. The Visby is a hybrid — it adds a full spectrum infrared system (9 IR emitters) alongside the traditional stove, giving you two sauna modes in one cabin. The Drammen is a pure traditional sauna at $13,999 vs the Visby's $16,999. Choose the Drammen for a dedicated traditional experience; choose the Visby if you want both traditional and infrared in one unit.

How long does the Drammen take to heat up?
The Drammen typically reaches its ideal range (170–185°F) in 30–45 minutes depending on ambient outdoor temperature. Traditional saunas take longer to heat than infrared saunas because they heat the air rather than the body directly — but the high-heat experience is worth the wait.

What is included with the Drammen?
The Drammen ships with a sandglass (timer), wooden bucket, and ladle for traditional löyly use. All lighting, audio, and control systems are factory-installed. The stove is included but stones may need to be purchased separately — confirm with us at the time of order.

How is the Drammen delivered?
The Drammen ships freight in 9 boxes (1,310 lbs total shipping weight) and is delivered curbside. Due to the size and weight, please ensure adequate freight access at your location and arrange for multiple people or equipment to assist with moving boxes to the installation site. Professional electrical installation is required and not included.
