Albany Sauna is awesome. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. I was able to make a reservation for a hot tub and sauna via text. And it was super easy. The private hot tub had a retractable roof so you could soak under the sun/sky/stars! And the Finnish Sauna was definitely an experience. Definitely listen to the instructions because it’s HOT! But again, a really unique experience. I loved it. They also have so many awesome local and well known products for sale in the retail part of the space. Thank you for a great and relaxing time!!

THE HOT TUBS ARE BACK!
Beautiful, ceramic tile lined hot tubs with Jets and swirlers and bells and whistles in large rooms in which you can look up at the sky or use their shade covering which is operated by a hand crank. I forgot how good it was to have a local hot tub!
Note: The massage staff is particularly great here, and you can ask for a particular kinds of massage and work with them to get what you need like I did today. Excellent!

This place has become my absolute go-to in terms of health, sanity and relaxation. I am almost reluctant to let my friends know about it, because up to now it's been my little secret, but stuff like this deserves to be shared, and with the latest upgrades to the place, and the amazingly curated selection of sauna gear (Buckets, scrubbers, etc.) and one of the best soap collections in northern California, overwhelmingly locally-made, and sold, with a great book selection, (you'd be surprised how many books there are on saunas and the culture around them) the essential oils, natural scents, and restoratives, make this place more than just a sauna (which would be fine all by itself), and take into full sensory experience territory, and is something I think everyone should try at least once.

Finally, there is on staff, a rotating cadre of some of the best message artists and physical therapists, on the West Coast, including everything from Shiatsu, to Swedish deep tissue.
When you need a real time out, and just want the world to stop for a second, for the price of a lunch, (1/2 an hour in sauna or tub) you can slip and feint stress like a pro, in a single visit to this place.
Happy hot tubs!

Had a great visit to this sauna and hot tub! So many nice touches like an overhead hot waterfall in the hot tub, cold spout in the steam sauna, scented towels, and complimentary bathrobes, slippers, and a Aveda toiletries to use. I really loved how the hot tub space had no ceiling and allowed the sun to stream in. Cost was $110 for two people to use the hot tub and sauna a half hour each, plus 15 minutes for showering. The only thing I wanted was an ability to play music, but that could be a difficult feature with all the water and heat.

Taking a sauna today was like visiting an old friend who would put on a new suit. I have not been there in years and the establishment to be cleaned up a bit even providing conditioner and shampoo. Yes, it’s gotten a little more expensive, but they do give you a discount if you bring your own towel. Great way to spend some time and refresh in spa light conditions without breaking the bank.

Lovely place. Staff is helpful and friendly. The hot tub rooms are spacious and full of natural light and fresh air (shade overhead). Most massage rooms are also open to the air outside, but even the ones that aren’t open air have a great spacious feeling. Hard to describe how wonderful it is. My current go-to is a 90-minute massage by Regina preceded by a soak in a hot tub. They provide a robe and slippers for the transition from the hot tub to the massage, too.

If you prefer to book appointments online,
note that there is no online scheduling on the website, but they do respond to email and text. They then call you to get your credit card number to prepay, which makes sense to me.

Had a lovely experience at Albany Sauna. I had a wonderful and very healing massage session with Annia and would highly recommend her.

I've visited many times in the past few months. Yesterday I had an AMAZING deep tissue massage with Bianca!!!! She is a true healer & I am grateful for her talent.
