Package November 20–21, 2026

Sauna Day with Aufguss food, & housing on the island of Idöborg in The Stockholm Archipelago

One day of study Something out of the ordinary at Idöborg

As the November darkness descends over the Stockholm archipelago, we heat up the sauna by the sea and invite you to spend a day and night enjoying Aufguss, food, and lodging at Idöborg.

From Friday afternoon through Saturday morning, enjoy sauna rituals, dinner, and an evening get-together at Strandbaren, a night on the island, and a morning sauna before the stay concludes with brunch.

Aufguss is a sauna ritual where heat, water, scents & movements interact

  • With carefully selected essential oils and sweeping towel movements

    The warm, aromatic air is distributed throughout the sauna, creating intense waves of heat.

  • Between sessions, you can cool off

    Breathe in the fresh archipelago air and let your gaze wander over the sea. The contrast between the heat of the sauna and the November air outside is a big part of the experience.

Meet The Aufguss Masters

Juha – Aufguss Master

Juha travels all over the country in search of new sauna gems. He has been a sauna master for three years, and his favorite type of sauna is the smoke sauna. One of Juha’s favorite sauna masters is Patrik Bylund, and in the winter you’ll often find him at Hellasgården.

Jonas – host of the event

Jonas is hosting the sauna weekend and has been a regular at Hellasgården for the past four years. The sauna is a natural part of his daily life, and he uses it pretty much every day, all year round.

From sauna heat to dinner & evening hangout

  • Snacks & Dinner

    After this afternoon’s Aufguss, the evening continues at Strandbaren. A snack platter will be served at 5:30 p.m., and at 8:00 p.m., dinner will be served, featuring Idöborg chili with sides, followed by crème brûlée.

  • The sauna is kept warm until midnight

    Starting at 9:30 p.m., there will be music and a get-together at Strandbaren. The bar will be open throughout the event, and drinks will be available for purchase. The sauna will be kept warm until midnight for anyone who wants to take another turn.
