Löyly Northeast

3525 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR

Löyly Northeast is the second location of Portland's longest-running Finnish sauna studio, joining the original Southeast spot on 21st Ave. The format is intimate and traditional — small groups, dry heat, the steady ritual of pouring water on the rocks for the eponymous löyly (Finnish for the burst of steam from a sauna stone). Sessions run typically 90 minutes including pre- and post-sauna lounge time. The studio also offers Esalen-style massage in private treatment rooms, often booked as a sauna+massage combo for a 2-hour visit. Drop-ins are welcome but reservations are encouraged especially on weekends. Pricing is approachable — sauna sessions in the $35-45 range, packs and memberships available. Best fit for someone wanting an authentic, no-fuss Finnish sauna experience close to the Boise or Eliot neighborhoods, and who appreciates the quieter, ritual-focused format over the bigger social-spa formats at Knot Springs or Cascada.
