The Top Thermal Bathing Experiences that I Want to Go Back To Again

As the founder of Sisu + Löyly, I spend a lot of time imagining what our full bathhouse experience could be. When I close my eyes, I don’t just see saunas, cold plunges, or pools — I see places where design, nature, and culture come together in ways that feel unforgettable.

For us, that environment is right here on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Lady Superior, with her moods and beauty, is unlike anywhere else in the world. That’s what will guide the design of Sisu + Löyly. A bathhouse that could only exist here — rooted in the North Shore, yet connected to a global tradition of wellness and ritual.
