Looks like a rainy King’s Birthday weekend is coming, perfect sauna weather.

We’ll be open all long weekend, including Monday.

Saturday and Sunday will run with our normal weekend hours, and on Monday we’ll be open all day, so you’ve got plenty of chances to warm up, slow down, and enjoy the sauna.

Rain outside, hot sauna inside, cold water in between, the perfect long weekend reset.

Update for tomorrow’s sessions

Nelson City Council confirmed at 4:30pm today, Friday, that Maitai Valley Road will remain closed due to the flooding risk.

Because of this, we won’t be able to fire up early enough for our morning sessions, so all Saturday morning sauna sessions tomorrow are cancelled.

The good news is that the weather is looking much better, so we are still planning to open later in the day.

Our first session of the day will be at 3:45pm, and our Guided Herbal Sauna session has been moved to 5:00pm.

If your booking has been affected, we’re happy to either refund or reschedule it, just send us a message and let us know what works best for you.

Thanks for your understanding.

Ahi Mahi Sauna, a Nelson riverside sauna in Maitai Valley. Enjoy communal, herbalist-guided and outdoor sauna experiences by nature.

A few little things we’ve added to make the experience even better.

Now that it gets dark so early, we’ve put lights in along the way to the river and through the car park, so those evening dips after the sauna feel a bit easier, safer, and honestly pretty special.

And because everyone loves the icy cold plunge, we’ve decided to keep it available year-round. It’s ready for all our afternoon sessions for anyone who wants the full hot and cold experience.

We’re always making small improvements behind the scenes to make your time with us even better.

And remember, Tuesday and Thursday sessions are 10% off throughout April!!

At Ahi Mahi Sauna, Celtic sea salt and filtered water are included with every booking. Adding a small pinch of mineral-rich salt to your water can be a simple way to support hydration and help replace what’s lost through sweating. It’s one of the small touches we’re pleased to offer our guests.

We’re open over the long Easter weekend with our usual hours, including morning and afternoon sessions this coming Monday 6.

We’d love to welcome you.

Have you been wanting to try the sauna?

Ahi Mahi Sauna is a wood-fired mobile sauna in Nelson, created to offer a grounding wellness experience in nature. A place to warm up, slow down, breathe deeply, and leave feeling better than when you arrived.

Set right next to the Maitai River, you can pair your sauna with a refreshing river plunge, or use our icy cold plunge tub beside the sauna for the full hot and cold experience.

We’re happy to share that from April we’ll also be opening on Tuesdays.

To celebrate, for the month of April only we’re offering 10% off afternoon communal sessions every Tuesday and Thursday.

So if you’ve been curious, this could be the perfect time to come and experience it for yourself.

We’d love to welcome you.

That light, steady feeling after the sauna is not a coincidence ✨ Heat supports your nervous system, boosts feel good brain chemicals, and helps your body shift out of stress mode 🌿

You leave feeling clearer, calmer, and more grounded 😌

This is one of the quiet reasons people return to Ahi Mahi Sauna again and again 🔥

This photo feels like the best part of the session. Heat, then a cold rinse under the trees, then a quiet sit on the deck with someone you like...💧🌿

At Ahi Mahi Sauna, the reset is not only the sauna itself. It’s the space around it. Fresh air, warm timber, and time to let your body come back to steady.

Stay a little longer after your last round. That’s where the calm really lands.
