Finnish Sauna Treatments

Authentic Finnish healing rituals in the heart of Montana.

At Blue Star Resort & Retreat, we offer private and group sauna experiences that immerse you in traditional Finnish healing practices. Our offerings range from serene solo sessions to fully curated group experiences, all set within the tranquil environment of our 20-acre forested property near Whitefish, Montana. Our sauna treatments are more than just a wellness activity—they are a journey into the heart of Finnish healing traditions.

What We Offer

  • Authentic Finnish Peat Sauna: Experience the first and only Finnish peat sauna in the United States. Peat, formed over millennia in the bogs of Finland, is rich in bioactive compounds known for their detoxifying and skin-rejuvenating properties. Our peat sauna sessions are designed to promote deep cleansing and relaxation.

  • Traditional Finnish Sauna Treatments: Engage in time-honored sauna rituals, including dry brushing, birch whisk circulation treatments, salt and essential oil scrubs, and relaxing sauna time. These treatments are tailored to enhance circulation, soothe muscles, and promote overall well-being.

  • Balneotherapy Offerings: Complement your sauna experience with a full menu of balneotherapy treatments, such as herbal foot soaks, clay masks, and essential oil aromatherapy. These therapies are designed to support detoxification, skin health, and relaxation.

  • Private and Group Sessions: Whether you seek a solitary retreat or wish to share the experience with friends or family, we offer flexible sauna sessions. Private sessions can be customized to your preferences, while group sessions provide a communal setting for shared healing.

Why Choose Finnish Sauna Treatments at Blue Star

Set against the backdrop of Montana’s pristine wilderness, our sauna experiences provide a sanctuary for relaxation, detoxification, and rejuvenation. Led by Finnish‑born and trained sauna therapist Tanjariitta Anttila — whose teachers helped shape the modern Finnish sauna therapy curricula and whose family bog in Forssa, Finland is part of this legacy — these treatments are rooted in the UNESCO‑protected culture of the Finnish sauna. With the first‑and‑only Finnish peat sauna in the U.S., our sessions blend traditional heat and cold therapy with natural elements like peat, clay, and salt for deep detoxification and renewal. Inspired by centuries‑old Finnish traditions, Sauna60 offers a restorative space to slow down, cleanse, and reconnect.
