A More Versatile Outdoor Sauna Experience

The Golden Designs Gargellen 5-Person Outdoor Hybrid Sauna gives you more ways to enjoy sauna at home. Instead of choosing between traditional sauna and infrared, the Gargellen combines both technologies in one outdoor-ready design. Use the Harvia 8kW traditional sauna stove for a classic high-heat session, or select the full spectrum infrared system when you want a lower-temperature experience with direct infrared warmth. The current product page lists the traditional sauna temperature range at 170°F–190°F and the infrared sauna range at 118°F–140°F.

Designed for outdoor use, the Gargellen features a clean flat-roof silhouette, bronze privacy tempered glass, and natural reforested Canadian Hemlock with a waterproof exterior stain. Its 81"W × 60"D × 87"H exterior footprint provides a spacious 5-person sauna experience while still fitting beautifully into many backyard wellness spaces, patios, and outdoor retreat areas.

Inside, the Gargellen includes the features customers expect from a complete Golden Designs package: an interior LED control panel, Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, built-in performance speakers, chromotherapy lighting, red light therapy features, and a sauna accessories kit with bucket, scoop, and sandglass timer.

For homeowners who want one sauna that can support both high-heat traditional sessions and gentler infrared-style sessions, the Gargellen is one of the most flexible outdoor sauna options in the Golden Designs lineup.

Hybrid Traditional + Infrared Heating

Enjoy two different sauna experiences in one outdoor unit. The traditional Harvia 8kW sauna stove delivers high-heat sauna sessions, while the full spectrum infrared system gives you the option for lower-temperature infrared sessions.

Full Spectrum Infrared System

The Gargellen includes 10 infrared emitters, with 4 carbon panels and 6 near-infrared elements, giving you a more versatile infrared experience than a traditional-only sauna.

Authentic Traditional Sauna Heat

When you want a classic sauna session, the included 8kW traditional sauna stove delivers a hotter room environment, with the current page listing a traditional sauna range of 170°F–190°F.

Spacious 5-Person Outdoor Design

With room for up to five people, the Gargellen is ideal for couples who want extra space, families, or homeowners who enjoy sharing sauna sessions with guests.

Built for Outdoor Living

Natural reforested Canadian Hemlock, a waterproof exterior stain, bronze privacy tempered glass, and an outdoor-focused design make the Gargellen a strong choice for backyard wellness spaces.

Built-In Lighting, Audio & Controls

The interior LED control panel, Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, built-in speakers, chromotherapy lighting, and red light therapy features create a more complete wellness experience from the start.
