Slightly more expensive than Allas Sea Pool, and does not have the swim-lane to swim lenght, but has two wood-fired saunas (normal and smoke version), as well as area where to sit around the fire place and order food.

Free of charge, more hipster, but very unique place, where it's possible to also dip into the sea all over the year. Prepare to see 50% of the people naked here <:o)
