St. Moritz 2-Person Barrel Sauna (GDI-B002-01)

The second-dearest barrel per seat in our data, $2,500 for each of 2 seats, 89 percent over the barrel median; no wood or warranty stated.

St. Moritz seats two for $4,999. The Almost Heaven Salem has the same seats and 6 kW heater for $4,037, a $962 difference, and the SunRay Solace is $4,790 with a 10-year warranty. Of the 37 barrels we track, only the Sweat Kingdom Sweat Barrel has a higher cost per seat.

Weight and wood

It is also the lightest model in the data, 409 pounds, on a 60 by 84 inch base 84 inches tall. The wood is listed as other, and there is no warranty or assembly type, so we cannot say what justifies the premium beyond that. A couple can find a better deal almost anywhere else in our data. Only buy it if you have seen it in person and prefer it. Recovery for Athletes is the only store we list.
