Tucked on the shore of Arriesjön, a short hop from Malmö, Go'kväll bastu is a compact, nature‑set retreat where warm Aufguss sessions, simple changing facilities and evening swims combine for an intimate relaxation ritual. The floating sauna, operated by Bastupaus, emphasizes calm, communal bathing and can host up to 12 guests.

THE RITUAL

Aufguss, bastu och dopp

Sessions center on traditional Aufguss and warm sauna time, with opportunities to cool off in the lake—the experience is arranged to prioritize relaxation and a cozy atmosphere.

THE SETTING

A floating sauna on Arriesjön

The sauna sits on a float on Arriesjön, surrounded by natural shoreline and close enough to Malmö to be considered a short escape from the city.

THE LOGISTICS

Small capacity and staged boat transfers

The bastuflotte accommodates up to 12 guests. Transport to the float is by rowboat, carrying about 5–6 people per trip and taking roughly five minutes per crossing, which can create short waits between rounds.

What the day feels like

What the evening feels like

The flow is simple and deliberate: meet at the operator’s meeting point, cross by rowboat to the sauna flotilla, settle into a guided Aufguss and warm sessions, and step out for brisk dips in the lake. The setting and small group size keep the mood intimate and restorative.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this suits—and the practical limits to keep in mind.

1
Small groups and couplesThe experience is arranged for small groups (the flotilla’s capacity is 12), making it well suited to intimate gatherings where a limited group size is preferred.
2
Guests prepared to change and swimGuests must wear swimwear and will use a simple on‑float changing area; plan for lake swims and bring what you need to be comfortable.
3
Those able to take short boat transfersTransport to the float is by rowboat in groups of about 5–6 with roughly five‑minute crossings; guests should expect staged transfers rather than a single group departure.
4
Respectful, low‑impact visitorsThe operator enforces a drug‑free environment and requests consent before photos and respectful behavior during changing—this is a quiet, community‑minded setting.
