Lake Näsijärvi, pristine Tahlo waters, a authentic Finnish sauna, and pure silence. What more could you need to unwind? Located just 40 minutes from Tampere, Tahlo offers the ultimate lakeside escape. Here, you can enjoy year-round swimming and ice swimming, relax in a wood-heated sauna built from local timber, admire the sunset from the spacious terrace or pier, unwind in a warm outdoor hot tub (palju), and cook delicious meals over an open campfire.

HOT TUB (PALJU)
A hot tub (palju) is like a jacuzzi—but in a truly traditional Finnish way. We have several wood-fired hot tubs available at Tahlo.
You can add a hot tub (palju) to your reservation right away when booking your sauna session or closer to your arrival.
You can order the hot tub pre-heated or heat it yourself. Heating takes approximately 2 hours in the summer and 4–5 hours in the winter. We fill the hot tub with clean lake water and handle all the emptying and washing after your stay.
A large mobile hot tub wagon is also available at all our sauna locations, allowing you to book two hot tubs for the same evening. This is the perfect option for larger groups of sauna and bathing enthusiasts!
