SvalBad

SvalBad is located at Port Longyear in Adventfjorden and is probably the world's northernmost public sauna, at 78 degrees north. The floating sauna is built from reused materials from demolished homes in Longyearbyen, with a large window facing Hiortfjellet.

Here you can choose drop-in sessions with others or rent the whole sauna privately for up to fourteen people. Access is self-service with a code by text message, there is a separate changing room, and the bathing steps take you straight out into the ice-cold Arctic Ocean for an Arctic contrast bath.

Booking is done via Gibbs, and the sauna closes in bad weather – this is Svalbard, after all. An experience for those who want to sweat at the northernmost point in the world.
