Outdoor sea bath and sauna in the White Town

Risør, Southern Norway

Risor Havbad is an outdoor sea bath and sauna in Risor, known as the “White Town by the Skagerrak” for its stunning collection of white-painted wooden houses along the harbor. The sauna facility adds a wellness dimension to one of southern Norway’s most photogenic coastal towns.

The outdoor sauna is positioned near the water with access to the sea for cold dipping. The Risor coastline is sheltered by a beautiful archipelago, creating calm bathing conditions with views of islands, sailboats, and the characteristic white houses.
