Why We’re So Excited About Revel Saunas in South Africa

Why Revel?

There are plenty of saunas available online, but we wanted a range we could confidently put alongside the premium fitness equipment we already supply.

Revel stood out because it combines four things we think matter enormously:

Quality construction. Thoughtful technology. Beautiful design. And genuine choice.

Instead of trying to make one type of sauna work for everybody, Revel offers several distinctly different sauna experiences.

That means the question isn’t simply:

“Should I buy a sauna?”

It becomes:

“Which type of sauna suits me best?”

And that is where the range gets interesting.

1. Revel Kora – A Brilliant Introduction to Infrared Sauna

For customers looking for an easy way to introduce sauna sessions into everyday life, the Revel Kora Infrared Sauna is one of our favourite starting points.

The Kora uses low-EMF carbon far-infrared heaters to create an even, comfortable heat throughout the cabin.

Unlike a traditional sauna, which heats the air around you to a much higher temperature, infrared technology delivers its warmth differently. For many people, that makes infrared particularly appealing for longer, more relaxed sessions.

The Kora also shows why we like Revel's approach to product design.

This isn't simply a timber box with heaters inside.

Depending on the model, you’ll find features such as atmospheric lighting, Revel Starlight fibre-optic ceiling lighting, chromotherapy, Bluetooth audio and thoughtful heater placement designed to create an immersive experience.

It's a sauna designed to become part of your routine rather than something you use once in a while.

Best suited to: home gyms, wellness rooms and customers wanting an accessible infrared sauna experience.


2. Revel Aura – Stepping Up to Full-Spectrum Infrared

For customers wanting to move further into infrared technology, there’s the Revel Aura Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna.

Full-spectrum infrared expands the experience across near, mid and far infrared wavelengths.

That makes the Aura an exciting step up for customers who are specifically looking for a more advanced infrared sauna rather than simply a hot cabin.

Available in different sizes, it also gives customers the opportunity to create a genuinely premium wellness space without needing the temperatures associated with a traditional Finnish sauna.

Best suited to: customers wanting a premium full-spectrum infrared experience and a sauna that forms a central part of their home recovery routine.

3. Revel Kuusi – The Traditional Finnish Experience

Some people don't want infrared.

They want the ritual.

They want the heater.

They want sauna stones.

They want that unmistakable wave of traditional sauna heat.

For them, there is the Revel Kuusi Traditional Finnish Sauna.

This is much closer to the classic Nordic sauna experience, but packaged for a modern South African home.

The Kuusi range combines traditional high-temperature sauna bathing with modern construction and features such as active ventilation, multi-level seating and contemporary lighting.

Pair it with a suitable Harvia sauna heater and sauna stones, and you have the traditional sauna experience many people immediately picture when they hear the word “sauna”.

Best suited to: traditional sauna enthusiasts and customers who prefer higher-temperature Finnish-style sauna sessions.

4. Revel Eden – Take the Sauna Outdoors

Then there’s something completely different.

The Revel Eden Traditional Barrel Sauna brings sauna culture into the garden, pool area, entertainment area or outdoor wellness space.

Its barrel design isn't only visually striking — it turns the sauna itself into a feature.

The Eden is available in different capacities, including larger models capable of turning sauna sessions into a genuinely social experience.

Pair an Eden with a quality Harvia heater and it becomes an incredible addition to a home, guest house, lodge or dedicated outdoor wellness area.

Imagine finishing a training session, jumping into the pool or cold plunge and then stepping into your own traditional outdoor sauna.

That is a very different home wellness experience.

Best suited to: outdoor entertainment areas, larger properties, holiday homes and customers wanting a traditional sauna that makes a statement.

5. Revel NordicWave – Why Choose One?

This might be the product that best demonstrates where the Revel range is heading.

The Revel NordicWave Infrared & Traditional Hybrid Sauna combines two sauna styles in one cabin.

You can enjoy an infrared session when you want gentler infrared warmth — and a traditional Finnish-style sauna experience when you want higher temperatures and the classic heater-and-stones ritual.

The NordicWave features eight dual-mode magnesium ceramic and full-spectrum infrared heaters, while a compatible traditional sauna heater can be added for the Finnish sauna experience.

It also incorporates modern touches such as WiFi control, touchscreen operation, Revel Starlight lighting, chromotherapy, active ventilation and Bluetooth audio.

For someone creating a serious home wellness room, the appeal is obvious:

You don't have to choose between infrared and traditional sauna.

You can have both.

From Home Gym to Home Wellness

This is probably the biggest reason we're excited about Revel.

The definition of a home gym is changing.

For years, building a great home gym meant choosing the right rack, functional trainer, treadmill, bench and weights.

Those things remain important.

But increasingly, we're seeing customers think about the entire cycle:

Train → Recover → Relax → Repeat

A modern training space might include a Force USA All-in-One Trainer and cardio equipment on one side of the room — and a Revel sauna or other recovery equipment on the other.

That's not simply a home gym anymore.

It's a personal performance and wellness space.

And we think that trend is only going to grow in South Africa.
