Numerous options around Finland for sauna bather looking for high-quality
Although cottage sauna is one of the most traditional ways to sauna bathe, Hawkhill Cottage Resort is the first service provider to receive the NATURE & GARDEN, Cottage Quality Certificate. The previously certified destinations are mostly hotel saunas and other public saunas. Executive Director of Sauna from Finland, Carita Harju, is happy that the variety of high-quality sauna experiences is becoming larger which offers more options for different sauna bathers to enjoy. See here all the quality certified sauna destinations.
It is great that we got a new quality criterion because of Hawkhill’s development process. We believe that customers will demand more from cottage saunas in the future. The certificate is an indication for customers that the sauna service focuses on memorability and safety.
Sauna service companies can apply for the quality certificate for example for their bookable sauna services or for customer saunas. Saunas can also be just one part of company’s service package. The certified sauna experience might include multiple saunas, but the certificate covers the whole experience.
There are four different categories for quality certified destinations:
- URBAN
- NATURE & GARDEN
- SPA, and
- UNIQUE destinations.
Each category has its own quality label. The quality certificate is renewed every other year because the experience service should be continuously developed and maintained.
