Winter Island

Winter Island on Refshaleøen is more than just a sauna; it's a complete floating experience that gently sways with the waves, offering panoramic views of the water. The venue is designed for well-being, community, and relaxation, allowing you to disconnect from everyday life - either alone or with loved ones. Without the need for a membership, you can easily book a spot in a communal sauna or rent an entire sauna for a private moment. Imagine enjoying a stone-baked pizza and a warm drink in the cozy, heated cafe under the pergola, before or after your sauna visit. It’s a sensory oasis in the heart of the city, where the winter cold transforms into warm comfort. Winter Island is a truly unique oasis for sauna gus and well-being. In addition to its unique waterside location, Winter Island offers a variety of gus experiences in their Horizon sauna, which accommodates up to 30 people. Choose between "CALM" for a gentle and meditative session, "FLOW" for a dynamic experience with varying intensity, "BOOST" for a powerful session with high tempo and strong sensory impressions, or "HEAT & BEATS" which warms up with music and high energy for the weekend. For those seeking a deeper inner journey, "TRANSFORMATIONAL SAUNAGUS" is offered in an intimate 10-person sauna, where warmth, aroma, and guided meditations invite you to explore your own limits. After an intense gus experience, you can suitably enjoy a cold dip in the harbor at "Bølgen" for preparing for gus or refresh yourself with a high-pressure cold shower or one of the cold 25-liter splash buckets. The staff is always ready to guide you, and with skilled gus masters like Thomas Frank, whose sessions are built like small narratives of warmth and peace, you are guaranteed a top-class sauna gus in Copenhagen. Each gus master adds their personal touch, ensuring a varied and unique experience every time you visit Winter Island.
