For Families Who Want More Time Together

Busy schedules and screen time make it hard to slow down. A backyard sauna gives your family a warm, distraction-free space to reconnect — every week.

Real Moments You Can Feel

Research shows that shared warmth — without screens, without rushing — is one of the most effective ways families reconnect. Here’s what that looks like at home.

For Parents & Kids

The sauna that taught my daughter to slow down. No phones, no noise — just warmth, a funny hat, and conversation that happens naturally. Children who sauna regularly show improved emotional regulation and lower cortisol levels.

For Couples

20 minutes, no agenda. Just the two of you. The heat does something talking can’t always do it relaxes the body first, then the mind. Couples who share a weekly sauna ritual report feeling more connected with each other.

How It Works

A simple path from first conversation to your first family session together.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a sauna safe for children?

Yes, when used correctly. Kids should always sit on the lower benches, stay in for shorter sessions, and be supervised at all times. Families often treat it as a gentle warm-up space, not a high-heat session.

2. How much space do I need for a family sauna?

Most families can fit a sauna in a small backyard corner, patio, or spare room. We’ll help you check your area and recommend the best model based on your space and household size.

3. What’s the installation process like?

It’s simple.
We deliver the sauna, assemble it on-site, and walk you through setup and care. Most installs are finished within the same day, depending on the model.

4. How does a sauna help families connect?

The warm, quiet environment encourages presence, calm conversations, and routine. Families use it to disconnect from screens, slow down, and enjoy shared moments together.

5. Do saunas have real wellbeing benefits?

Yes. Studies show saunas can reduce stress, improve circulation, support better sleep, and boost mental clarity. Many families also find it helps with relaxation before bedtime.

Yury K.Oct 2026
Wonderful experience from the outset. Prompt response to queries prior to purchasing as well as post purchase. Very professional in approach to delivery of unit and liaised with transport company with delivery to very difficult site. I am extremely satisfied with the Viva Leil 210 sauna in every respect. I would highly recommend dealing with Shym saunas. Mari, the sales lady was exceptional!
Harry R.Oct 2026
We are very happy with our integrated fire hot tub. Easy installation, takes about 3 hours to heat to 38 degrees. It was worth waiting for.
LindaOct 2026
This is my second sauna purchase so it's safe to say I have been extremely satisfied with the service and products. So very helpful from start to finish and never an issue when I needed assistance with minor maintenance. Highly recommend using Shym's Sauna & Spas.
Punarai C.Sep 2026
We purchased a hot tub. Good communications from the team, helpful advice about construction and the product is good quality. I recommend this company.
Michael W.Sep 2026
Great service & products range! Competitive pricing and customer service is fantastic.
Jared B.Sep 2026
Having just completed the build myself we are so happy with it. The Leil XXS fit our space perfectly and it's as close to a custom built traditional Scandinavian sauna on the market. Art and the team suggested provided great suggestions and the experience is genuinely authentic. We will post some videos soon the surrounding deck is completed. Art suggested the Cylindro heater with 80kg of rocks. Having used wall heaters before they are good but nothing like the smooth consistent heat the extra rocks provide. 3 hours after I turned off the heater it was still on 55 degress. So happy with the whole process Kye

They could not have been more helpful. My tub is wonderful and truly the perfect fit for the space. In fact, I’m convinced it was designed especially for my little corner of the world! Thank you again for the professional service.
Suzie C.Aug 2026
Big thank you to all the staff at Shym Saunas. We brought a sauna from them back in November last year and Art installed it for us. It was a smooth process from start to finish and since its installation we have been really enjoying the benefits of the sauna post our open water swims. Originally we thought we would just use it in the sholder seasons and winter, but we actually used it throughout summer as well! We are lucky to have some swimming friends who come back to our place to enjoy the sauna post swim and sharing it with friends enable us to all enjoy some great conversations. Would definitely recommend Shym Saunas to anyone comtemplating a sauna!

Chris & Sally P.Jul 2026
From initial consultation to final setup, everything was handled professionally. They helped me choose the right sauna and accessories without overselling, which I really appreciated. The project stayed on schedule and the end result looks amazing in my backyard.
