HAVN Saunas

This place was just perfect! Long day of travel and then exploring, no better way to end it, then a couple hours soaking, relaxing, enjoying the saunas, sipping some tea and taking in the views of this beautiful city. Great date night escape for those tired parents who just need a little peace and quiet. Wish we could come back tomorrow for one more night! Definitely recommend to anyone, enjoy!

Wonderful experience. The saunas are amazing and spacious, I enjoyed the outdoor hot tubs, cold showers, cold plunges. The salt scrub shower felt like a perfect end to the circuit. You check in a few minutes before your start time and have approx 3hrs to be on the facility (change and shower times included). They give you nice lockers, bathrobes and towels. There's shampoo, body wash and they smell lovely. Be mindful of other people, it can get a bit rushed at the end when everyone is trying to take a shower and you may have to wait a little longer. They serve amazing tea on the deck (take as much as you want). And the best part, the views along with that peace is indescribable ❤️✨️

Really cool addition to Victoria’s Inner Harbor. I haven’t had the chance to experience HAVN Saunas yet, but the concept alone is worth a mention. Turning a former barge into a floating sauna and spa in the Inner Harbor is a genuinely creative idea, and it looks fantastic from the water. I took a chance grabbing a photo while flying for Vancouver Island Drones, and it really stood out as a unique, modern addition to the harbor. Even just visually, it adds a lot of character to the waterfront — looking forward to checking it out properly one day.

I came early because I was destroyed by jetlag to see if I could move my appointment up. They took me right away and I was so appreciative of the flexibility. Facilities were so CLEAN. It was a chill, breezy fall day around 9°C but never a problem. You'll crave a bit of a breeze when you emerge from the saunas. The eucalyptus sauna room was the best IMO along with the salt shower. Funny enough, the sauna attached to the salt shower is labeled "Social Sauna" but it was the quietest. I am NOT a cold girl so didn't bother with the cold plunges. They have warm tea available on the deck. If you want lemon water, you'll have to go downstairs to the relaxation room (which is also fantastic by the way). The circular tub seemed slightly hotter than the infinity though they are labeled the same. The circular one is more popular for socializers and had a bit of a chlorine smell (you know what that means) so I much preferred the infinity which boasted an excellent view of the planes and sunset. I am so pleased with my experience I will definitely return.

Fantastic experience with my partner & bestfriend! We flew from New York and had a full day planned in Victoria. This was our first stop and we spent the full 3 hours enjoying the saunas, cold plunges and showers. This is a must go experience in Victoria.

Absolutely love spending a few relaxing hours at HAVN spa every time when visiting Victoria. The view of the Harbour and its activities along with such a lovely atmosphere within the spa makes for a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. The dry and wet saunas along with salt scrub steam and hot/cold tubs make this my favorite spot to visit.

Always the best time at Havn! Their vegan charcuterie board is the best. However, the last two times we’ve visited, both of the hot tubs are extremely dirty so we opted to avoid them. I’m not sure how often they are drained, but with the amount of volume in and out of there, Havn might want to sort that issue out for the amount they charge. This is also the reason why I avoid public hot tubs in general haha, so to each their own!

This place is very relaxing. Starting from when you enter, it sets the tone for the experience. Relaxed staff and entrance area. You get a locker with a bathrobe (bring sandals) and a towel for showering after. You are set up with a locker in the lovely and clean co-ed changing area. There are also private rooms to change. Then a quick shower before going out on the deck to where the saunas and hot tubs are. When you get on the outer deck, you are in the weather. So if it's raining or anything, you will be in it. On our visit, there was a raindrop here and there and it felt nice. There is also tea at a self serve are and some light food in a lounge downstairs. Overall a great experience.
