Changing the way we human one sweat at a time
We are an open-air sauna and cold plunge sanctuary in the heart of Victoria, BC where heat, cold, and nature converge to awaken the senses, cultivate presence, and reconnect us to what it means to be fully alive.
Welcome to Ærth Saunas - where the raw power of heat, cold, and the elements of the wild will make you feel fully alive.
The experience
More than just a sauna, Ærth is a place to reconnect—with yourself, others, and the elements. Our 90-minute self-guided sessions offer the freedom to explore deeper sensation, connection, and flow, with optional sauna ceremonies, classes, events and breathwork to enhance the experience.
Our Signature 90-Minute Ærth Cycle: Heat. Cold. Rest. Repeat. With one non-negotiable in between—the shower. A rinse to wash the sweat, the toxins, and whatever else you’re ready to leave behind. You’ll move through each phase with intention and ease, all while having plenty of time to connect with fellow sauna humans, take in the view of the sky, and share a good laugh about life (or nothing at all).
- Time :Up to 90 mins
- Frequency:Every 15/30 mins
- Benefits:Immune-booster, Cardiovascular support, Connection with other Humans & Self.
Changing the way we human
At Ærth, we’re obsessed with habit because it builds community and connection. Through saunas and shared experiences, we help you reconnect with your instincts and nature. We also understand the value of quiet time, which is why we offer a silent sauna for moments of solitude.
It’s up to you to return, repeat the cycle, and grow your community. Explore events and healing modalities and find your tribe - it’s in our nature.
Why?
We do this because we are like you: curious and always evaluating our lived experience. We seek to bring moments of unstoppable laughter, warmth, and a hint of mindful solitude when needed, transforming loneliness into connection with ourselves and others. We can’t wait to have you here, beside us.
About usstarting in Victoria, with the world in sight.
Creating extraordinary spaces that invite connection, spark growth, and feel like home
Not just heat - plunge, rest, and repeat.
We love sharing what makes us ✨ special ✨ in all the non woo-woo (maybe a bit of woo-woo) way. From our beautifully designed traditional saunas to our unique location and the incredible perks of being part of our community, here are our favorite highlights!
Traditional Sauna Experience
Become immersed and rested in our space. Designed with nature in mind. Follow the curves, foliage, and atmosphere in one of Victoria's most unique sauna experience.
The Ærth Circuit
Focusing on the core pillars of hydrotherapy, we also offer a twist— but you’ll have to come and experience it for yourself!
Vibe Selector
Good vibes are key, but we get it—not every day calls for social energy. That’s why we offer a silent sauna, a communal space for connection, and a private sauna for when you need your own space. And yes, we’re pretty proud of our playlists.
Rise & Set Sanctuary
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience our heat. That’s why our hours are designed so early birds can get their start, and night owls can still enjoy their daily sweat. See you from 6:30-9PM+ every day.
Movement & Breath Journeys
Here to learn more about breath? Wondering if you should do push-ups in the sauna? We’ve got you covered! We are working with facilitators to demystify breathwork and gentle movement, guiding you through the process to help you get the most out of the heat and cold.
Elemental Aromas
All our cosmetics—shower gels, shampoos, scrubs, and conditioners—are made in-house with care. Our guides will occasionally infuse the buckets with the finest essential oils to elevate your experience, based on a class, the intention and who is present during community sauna hours. For everyone’s safety, outside essential oils are not allowed.
Guides of Heat & Spirit
We know some of you would love to know what Aufguss is all about and would love guided classes. Stay tuned—our full schedule of experiences will be live when we open!
Nature’s Sips
Amongst the many things we’re absolutely obsessed with, we’ve crafted our own tea and electrolyte offerings! Staying hydrated is key, so go ahead—sip on something delightful while you soak in the heat of Ærth, and it’s all on us!
Other Ærthly experiences
We believe in the importance of third spaces. A core part of Ærth is being able to offer events and gatherings related and non-related to sauna culture. Check our events page to find out what's going on.
