Sauna available at Rantasauna from 16 Jan onwards
AYY announced on 16 Dec 2022 that saunas in rental facilities will be closed due to energy saving and cost reasons from 1 Jan to 31 Mar 2023, but AYY would explore the possibility of having one sauna available at the request of the Representative Council.
After consideration, AYY has decided to open Rantasauna from 16 Jan. Due to increased costs, AYY needs to increase the rental rate of the saunas.
- The rental rate of the large space for AYY members is until 15 Jan EUR 300. The new rate starting from 16 Jan is EUR 400.
- The rental rate of the small space for AYY members is until 15 Jan EUR 100, and the new rate starting from 16 Jan EUR 150.
- Unfortunately, the hot tub is out of order and unavailable for now. If you have already booked hot tub, you don’t need to cancel your booking or pay for it.
The higher rates at Rantasauna apply to all bookers. Reservations made during the previous rates can be cancelled free of charge 14 days before the date of the reservation in TILA-system, or 7 days before the date of the reservation by contacting AYY Member Services by email: ayy@ayy.fi.
Other sauna facilities are available, but without the sauna. Read more in the previous announcement.
