Stockholm is set to unveil its first municipal sauna, located on a floating pontoon, allowing both locals and visitors the opportunity to enjoy a traditional sauna experience. This aspect of the project will allow for online bookings, accommodating up to 16 people at a time. The initiative is part of a larger effort to explore the management of a sauna under municipal control, with hopes for it to lead to more permanent installations in the future, as stated by Pia Karlsson, project leader for the city's sauna project.

The new sauna will replace the historical Liljeholmsbadet, which was closed in 2016 due to extensive renovation needs. In the fall of 2025, Stockholm City sold the property where the old bath was located, paving the way for the opening of the new sauna in its place. This transition marks a significant shift in the city's bathing culture, highlighting efforts to revive spaces for communal relaxation and interaction.

The city's development plan aims to preserve the Hornstulls strand area as a meeting and relaxation spot, emphasizing the community's need for accessible recreational facilities. The initiative reflects a growing trend in urban planning, where cities are increasingly looking to offer unique leisure facilities that not only promote health and wellness but also foster social engagement among residents and tourists alike.
