PUUSAUN - ABOUT US
Puusaun got its name in 2019, when a father and daughter decided to turn the lovely trails of Lake Narvijärvi into a year-round open-water swimming spot that serves visitors every day of the year.
PUUSAUN WAS STARTED BY AN ENERGETIC DUO IN 2019.
People have been going to the sauna at the Puusaun site for a long time. It was once the municipal lakeside sauna, a simple log cabin by the water. When the previous keeper retired after running the sauna for many years, the town looked for someone new, and in 2019 the turn came to us, to a father and his daughter.
We started out as a family business and carried out a major renovation right away. We wanted to bring the old lakeside sauna up to a new level, keeping its traditional feel while adding practical spaces and comforts. Today Puusaun is open year-round, including Midsummer and Christmas.
Puusaun is still run by the family. In 2025 ownership passed to the next generation. Rosanna looks after the day-to-day and the customers, and her father Jorma takes care of the saunas and the grounds. Together we want to keep the place calm, tidy and open to everyone, and to keep developing it while honouring Puusaun's original values.

A SAUNA IN THE PEACE OF NATURE
Puusaun sits on the shore of Lake Narvijärvi. From Rauma the drive takes a little over twenty minutes, and it's easy to reach from elsewhere in Finland too. The road runs through forest into a calm landscape, far from the noise of the town. It's easy to get here from nearby towns and from further away alike.
