Löyly, Modern sauna and restaurant complex in Hernesaarenranta, Finland.
The wooden building extends over the Baltic Sea shoreline, featuring two distinct saunas and a restaurant serving traditional Finnish dishes.
The facility opened in 2016 as part of Helsinki's waterfront development project, transforming an industrial area into a public recreational space.
Following Finnish traditions, visitors alternate between heat sessions in the wood-fired or smoke saunas and cooling periods near the Baltic Sea.
The establishment requires advance reservations for the two-hour sauna sessions, which include towels, seat covers, and basic toiletries for 26 euros.
The building's angular wooden architecture creates protected outdoor spaces between the heated rooms, allowing year-round access to sea-viewing terraces.

Helsinki offers a unique mix of Nordic traditions and modern urban spaces. The city features public saunas like Sompasauna by the sea, where entry is free thanks to volunteer work, as well as century-old market halls such as Hakaniemi, built in 1914. Surrounding islands like Sisä-Hattu allow visitors to view ancient rock carvings in preserved natural surroundings, while Kivinokka beach provides direct access to the sea from a wooded area. Downtown combines various architectural styles, from granite churches to wooden buildings like Kamppi Chapel, a quiet spot amid the city's activity. Art enthusiasts will find the graffiti wall at Suvilahti, a legal space for artistic expression, and those seeking less-known locations will discover themed bars like Trillby & Chadwick, decorated in the 1920s style. A few kilometers away, Liesjärvi National Park offers hiking trails through forests abundant in berries and mushrooms, while the abandoned villas of Kruunuvuori reflect a bygone era.
