About Albany Sauna
Albany Sauna, Massage Therapy, Facials and Hot Tubs is a beloved East Bay wellness institution at 1002 Solano Avenue in Albany, California, steps from Berkeley. Open seven days a week, this full-service wellness destination has been serving the community with authentic Finnish-style steam saunas, private outdoor hot tubs, expert massage therapy, and facial treatments. The sauna experience at Albany Sauna centers on private rooms accommodating up to four guests for 30, 45, or 60-minute sessions, providing an intimate and customizable heat therapy experience. Their outdoor hot tubs offer a similar private retreat format, ideal for soaking under the open sky with friends or family. The facility also offers Celluma LED light therapy as an add-on to facial treatments, delivering brightening and anti-aging benefits through clinically validated wavelengths at a modest additional cost. Massage services are a particular strength, with therapists trained in Swedish-Esalen, deep tissue, sports massage, myofascial release, migraine relief, reflexology, cupping, prenatal care, cranial sacral therapy, and deep stretching. Sessions run from 60 to 90 minutes, with specialist modalities like cupping available as add-ons. Facials feature premium lines including AVEDA Botanical Kinetics and Caudalie Vinotherapy, running 60 to 75 minutes and emphasizing results-driven skincare in a relaxing environment. A retail shop carries skincare products and wellness goods, and the gallery space hosts rotating art exhibitions, adding a cultural dimension to the wellness visit. Albany Sauna is a true neighborhood anchor, combining therapeutic rigor with a warm, community-oriented atmosphere.
