What a cool idea! World’s largest public sauna, set on a remote beach on Sandhornøya, a small island within Norway’s Arctic Circle, has just opened this summer. The glass-fronted “Agora” sauna offers extraordinary and breath-taking panoramic views over the Arctic Sea and the island’s mountain landscape. Part of a unique cultural project SALT, the sauna can hold over 100 people.

Visitors will also get the opportunity to enjoy a host of cultural events, including a specially created ambient soundtrack, talks and performances held in the amphitheatre-style space, whose overall design was based on traditional Norwegian fish racks.
There will also be a gallery, live performance auditorium and small lodgings with glass ceilings which guests can book if they wish to stay on the beach overnight.
