ALEKO Viola Canadian Hemlock Traditional Indoor Sauna - 3-4 Person

Transform your home into a relaxing personal wellness retreat with the ALEKO Viola Canadian Hemlock Traditional Indoor Sauna – 3–4 Person. Designed for homeowners who want the traditional sauna experience without needing an outdoor structure, this spacious indoor sauna combines premium Canadian Hemlock wood, tempered glass, a modern black finish, and a powerful Finnish-made Harvia heater.

With seating for 3–4 adults, the Viola provides enough room to enjoy sauna sessions with family or friends while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for indoor installation. Its clean, modern design and sleek black exterior make it easy to complement a variety of home interiors.

The sauna is constructed from Canadian Hemlock wood, a popular choice for traditional saunas due to its heat-retaining properties and natural resistance to warping and decay. Hemlock also has a subtle, pleasant scent and a smooth appearance that works well in a modern indoor wellness space.

Inside, the Viola features upper and lower benches that provide flexible seating for up to four people. Two portable wooden backrests are also included, allowing you to customize your seating position and improve comfort during longer sauna sessions.

A tempered, heat-resistant glass door and window allow natural visibility into and out of the sauna while complementing the modern black design. The glass construction helps create an open feel without sacrificing the enclosed atmosphere of a traditional sauna.

Heating is provided by a 4.5 kW UL-certified Harvia KIP electric sauna heater, manufactured in Finland. The easy-to-operate dial controls allow you to adjust the sauna temperature, with a listed operating range of approximately 158°F to 194°F.

The Viola is designed as a traditional wet/dry sauna, meaning you can enjoy dry heat or add water to the heated sauna stones to increase humidity and create a steam-enhanced sauna experience. A wooden bucket, water scoop, and 35 lbs. of sauna stones are included. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper water use and heater operation.

For added convenience, the heater includes an automatic 60-minute shut-off timer. The sauna's stainless steel hardware provides durable construction, while the included sauna lamp and lampshade create a comfortable environment for relaxing.

The ALEKO Viola requires 220–240V electrical power, and an electrician is required for installation of the heater. Assembly is also required.

Whether you're looking for a 3–4 person indoor sauna, Canadian Hemlock sauna, traditional home sauna, indoor wet/dry sauna, or Harvia electric sauna, the ALEKO Viola offers a convenient way to bring a traditional sauna experience into your home.
