Ready for a steamy experience and refreshing plunge into the Arctic waters?
Book hereAlong the historic waterfront at Vervet, where Tromsø’s old shipyard once stood, you’ll find The HotSpot – a modern floating sauna facility inspired by maritime heritage. The design combines steel and wood with round porthole windows, echoing the area’s industrial past while offering a sleek and inviting space to unwind by the sea.
Guests have access to changing rooms, showers with fresh (& cold) water, a toilet, and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Tromsø sound. After a heat session, step straight into the sea for a refreshing dip before returning to the warmth inside.
At The HotSpot, warmth, sea, and city life come together — a unique spot to relax, connect, and experience Tromsø from the waterfront.
At The HotSpot by Vervet Adventures, we want every visit to be relaxing, social, and safe. Our saunas are designed for comfort and well-being — but as with all experiences close to the sea, a few simple guidelines help make sure everyone enjoys their time responsibly.
Stop by for a drop-in sauna session. Relax in one of our two modern and comfortable saunas, and enjoy refreshing plunges in the sea. Stay for an hour or two, and choose between our Styrbord and Babord Sauna.
Drop-In BookingThe HotSpot features two distinct saunas:
Styrbord, the smaller sauna with a yellow door, offers an intimate and calm atmosphere for up to 8-10 guests.
Babord, with its blue door, is the larger and more social sauna, perfect for groups of up to 8-12 people.
For drop-in sessions the capacity is 8 for both saunas. For private sessions the group can be a bit bigger.
The names of our two saunas, Styrbord and Babord, come from the Norwegian words for starboard and port side on a ship. They reflect the maritime history of Vervet, once home to Tromsø’s old shipyard — and a place where craftsmanship and the sea have always been closely connected.
Your private floating sauna experience – Enjoy full privacy in one of our two saunas and combine sauna relaxation with refreshing dips in the sea.
In the north, warmth and cold belong together. Few things feel as revitalizing as stepping from the glowing heat of a sauna straight into the crisp sea — and back again. At The HotSpot by Vervet Adventures, this ritual is more than just a moment of contrast. It’s a rhythm for both body and mind.
Get your The HotSpot membership and join our sauna community. Membership includes free drop-in bookings and discounts on private sessions, with options for membership with or without a commitment period.
