Welcome to Trauttmansdorff

Ah, the sauna! In these gray days of winter’s chill, is there anything more satisfying than the relaxing, bone-deep heat of the sauna? It’s more than just a good sweat. In today’s luxury homes, the sauna is a vital component of holistic wellness suites, encompassing yoga, exercise, massage—everything from Peloton bikes to plunge pools.

We’ve come a few thousand years from the Native American sweat lodge and its sacred rituals, or the Bronze Age community-centric saunas of Finland. Today’s saunas come in many guises, from the traditional dry-heat sauna to the high-tech infrared models, which heat the body directly at a lower temperature. The theme, however, remains the same: Relax, recharge, and embrace the healing powers of the löyly—spirit of the steam—emanating from the hot rocks.

Thus, the ancient sauna takes center stage in this edition of Luxury Defined, as a 21st-century deluxe home amenity.
