Saunas and bathhouses in San Francisco
6 sauna listings in San Francisco. Each listing records the heat source, how access works, the amenities on site, and where to book.

Archimedes Banya: A Russian bathhouse in Bayview. Archimedes Banya is a Russian bathhouse on Innes Avenue in San Francisco. Start with a banya pass; venik platza and other treatments have their own bookings. Read the clothing guidelines before visiting.
Fjord: A floating sauna in nearby Sausalito. Fjord sits on the water in Sausalito, across the Golden Gate from San Francisco. During October–December 2026 construction, sessions are released as work allows. Check the live calendar before planning a shared or private visit.
Are all the listings in San Francisco itself? This guide includes nearby Bay Area options as well as city addresses. Check the address and map before booking, especially for Sausalito: crossing the Golden Gate takes a separate trip from a downtown San Francisco visit.
Is a waterfront sauna the same as a bathhouse with a plunge pool? No. Open-water access depends on the setting, weather and water conditions. If a controlled plunge pool is part of your plan, choose a listing that explicitly includes one; a waterfront location alone does not mean there is a pool.
Across the listings here, 6 have a cold plunge on site.
