Allas Sea Pool: An Urban Oasis in Helsinki

Nestled in the Katajanokka district, right by the Market Square, Allas Sea Pool provides a refreshing escape in the heart of Helsinki. Opened in September 2016, this marine spa and lido combines traditional Finnish bathing culture with modern urban living. The complex features three distinct pools: a warm freshwater pool (heated to approximately 27°C or 28°C year-round), a seawater pool (kept at the same temperature as the Baltic Sea), and a children's pool. Visitors can also enjoy three saunas: traditional Finnish saunas, including separate saunas for men and women, and a mixed sauna that can be reserved for private events. The main building, completed in 2017, boasts a rooftop terrace with 1,500 seats, offering panoramic views of the city and the sea. Allas Sea Pool hosts various events, concerts, and exhibitions throughout the year. The Allas Café and Neighbour Bistro serve breakfast, lunch, and à la carte options, welcoming everyone, regardless of whether they are using the pools or saunas. Allas Sea Pool is more than just a swimming facility; it represents a modern approach to Finnish bathing culture, offering a unique blend of relaxation, wellness, and social interaction.
