Float + Fire: Cold Plunge & Sauna at Von Sauna in Kirkland

Looking for a bold winter date idea near Seattle? Von Sauna in Kirkland offers a romantic, rejuvenating twist on the classic couples outing. Set directly on Lake Washington, this Nordic-inspired experience pairs a floating, wood-fired sauna with a brisk cold plunge into the water—an energizing combo known as contrast therapy. The setting is serene, the design is minimalist and stunning, and the experience feels especially magical on gray, misty days.

Each session is private and beautifully maintained, making it perfect for couples looking to unwind and reconnect. The sauna operates seasonally from October 1 through April 30, so plan ahead for a cozy, off-season escape. After your session, grab wood-fired sandwiches or seasonal baked goods to-go from DERU Market or warm up with cocktails and small plates at Moss Bay Hall, both are just a short drive away.
