Almost Heaven Saunas Review: Barrels, Cabins and Prices

Almost Heaven saunas start at $4,485 for the 2 person Salem barrel with a Harvia heater included, the lowest heater-included price I found from a major maker. The range runs to about $50,000 for its largest Harvia Collection outdoor saunas.

Outdoor barrels

Barrels are what Almost Heaven is known for. Each listing includes a Harvia heater, usually a 6 kW KIP with dials, with upgrades to smart heaters for more money. The 6 person Princeton steps up to 8 kW, which needs a 40-amp circuit instead of 30. Almost Heaven says the Princeton heats to 180°F in about an hour.

Almost Heaven Hillsboro 2-Person Indoor$5,299with a 6 kW Harvia heaterView
Almost Heaven Hinton 2-3 Person Infrared$6,840Type: far infraredView

Lowest listed configuration on each maker's store, checked Oct 27, 2026.

The Hillsboro is a 2 person traditional room with a 6 kW Harvia heater rated to 185°F, so it needs 240V. The Hinton is far infrared and, per Almost Heaven, installs on your existing floor.

Cold plunge

Almost Heaven's Glacier pairs a cedar-clad tub with a 0.8 HP chiller, 37°F to 65°F, for $9,993.99. That is premium pricing; the cold plunge shortlist has cheaper chilled tubs.

For a first outdoor barrel with the heater included, Almost Heaven is the brand I'd start with on price. The Salem and Watoga are the value picks. I'd skip the cubes unless you want the look. Compare with Redwood Outdoors, whose cabins are cheaper before you add a heater.
