Aufguss in Skåne – Aloha Sauna Session
Three Aufguss sessions. Heat, scent and rhythm. Evening spa until 9.30 pm.
Aloha Sauna Session is a guided sauna ceremony at Honulele Spa, where three Aufguss sessions build the evening from calm, through rhythm, to rising intensity. Shifting heat and scent combinations lead into an evening spa with a 38-degree infinity pool, cold plunge and hot sauna.
Aufguss in three sessions
Once you’ve changed, the group gathers in our exclusive, private ritual area in Aloha Spa. Our trained sauna master takes you through three sessions in the cedar sauna, each lasting around 10 to 15 minutes. The heat shifts, the scents change and the tempo builds as the session goes on. During every session the sauna falls silent, so the whole group can unwind together.
Between sessions, cool down under the showers or in the air therapy room. Electrolytes, fruit and snacks are available. Then it’s back into the cedar sauna for the next session. Three distinct phases, where the switch between hot and cold is part of the experience.
After the final session the evening carries on at Honulele Spa, and it’s yours until 9.30 pm. Sink into the 38-degree infinity pool, take a bracing dip in the cold plunge, or head back into the warmth of the sauna. Linger, chat, meet new people and enjoy each other’s company. Food and drinks are available to buy at Honulele Spa Café.

What is an Aufguss?
At Aloha Sauna Session, Aufguss is a guided sauna experience in which our trained sauna master leads the group through changing levels of heat, scent combinations and a rising tempo. The evening is made up of three sessions, with breaks to cool down in between.
How the heat affects your body
The heat makes the blood vessels widen, and the increased blood flow to the tissues helps the muscles relax, so many people feel less stiffness and pain. For many, the combination of warmth and calm is de-stressing, and it can contribute to lower cortisol levels and better sleep. While you’re in the sauna, your blood pressure may rise temporarily, but regular sauna use can help lower blood pressure over time.
There is also some evidence that sauna bathing can give the immune system a modest boost. The body responds to the heat much as it does to a mild fever, and the warmth can ease cold symptoms by opening the airways. Combining sauna with a cold plunge strengthens the effect on circulation even further, and many find it both invigorating and restorative, not least if you train a lot or are a woman going through the menopause.
The effects are strongest with regular sauna bathing. If you have heart or circulatory problems, or are pregnant, please consult your doctor before taking part in an Aufguss.
