Private Aufguss Sauna Session, 2.5 hrs
Our classic German-style sauna session. Full facility access for 2.5hrs for 1-12 people. Enjoy our two saunas (traditional and infrared), wet cool down area, rest lounge and outdoor patio. For groups of 1-4 people, 4 spa-style add-ons are included.
Top the experience off with a complimentary Aufguss – a celebration of sight, scent and heat. The Lost Faucet is proud to be the first sauna on Vancouver Island to offer this complimentary, in-sauna service. First, aroma-infused water or ice is placed on the hot sauna rocks. The Aufgussmeister then wafts a towel dispersing the humid warmth around the sauna, increasing the overall heat. Music, lighting and scents create a multi-sensory experience. This ritual must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Reservation required. Group bookings for 1-12 people. Low season prices, June 1 to August 31. Add cold plunge tub for $30 (1-4pp) / $60 (5-8pp) / $90 (9-12pp).

The Banya Experience
A unique sauna experience on Vancouver Island, this special, age-old, eastern European/Nordic in-sauna ritual uses bunches of oak or birch (venik/vihta) to create a hot, steam filled, aromatic sensation that leaves your body craving the cold plunge. The leaves transform into a hot massage (platza) when brushed against the sauna participants’ skin. This Finnish and Eastern European ritual not only increases circulation and promotes sweating, but is also very aroma-therapeutic as different tree types have beneficial effects including increasing respiratory function. Perfect for weathered sauna lovers looking for the pinnacle of heat experiences, this is a 2.5hr session guided by the owners themselves and includes 20 minutes of administered venik massage, a coffee body scrub, a cold near beer, and sweet treat for each participant! For 1-4 people. Add cold plunge tub for $30/ Reservation required.
The Nook Private Sauna Session with optional Cold Plunge (2 hours)
Our ‘Back to Basics’ private sauna session – HOT – COLD – REST in our new “Nook” Sauna, nestled in our ‘backyard’ – behind our main sauna space. Perfect for the sauna purist that loves the privacy, the exhilaration of cold water and cold plunge, and a great deal! For groups of 1-6 people, this 2hr sweat in the Nook with optional cold plunge add-on, includes access to an indoor comfy relaxation lounge, 1 towel per person and complimentary tea. This space is inspired by the simple west coast sauna vibe that has developed over the last years; a hot stand alone outdoor sauna, with cold plunge in your backyard. This largely self service space gives you the chance to sauna at your own pace in a 2 hour session at an affordable rate, with the privacy that you love. Sauna and cold plunge (if selected) is ready when you arrive – after that the space is all yours. Please note that Aufguss, and spa-style add-ons are not included/available in this booking, and the cool down is cold water only. Choose from most weekday or weekend time starts. Reservation required.
