Help Bastu PAUS come back to Västra Hamnen this autumn! 🍂🔥
As I prepare our application to Malmö stad (Gatukontoret) to bring the sauna back, I’m reflecting on what made those 4–5 weeks at Scaniabadet and Daniaparken so special.
Bastu PAUS has never been just about the sauna. It’s about the people who stepped inside.
During these weeks I watched this little 5x3 -meter sauna become so much more than I ever imagined - a space for people to reconnect with each other, with themselves, and with strangers who became friends.
That’s why Bastu PAUS is never just about the sauna. It’s the culture it brings. The life it creates. The community it builds. The souls it rejuvenates.
And now, your stories and experiences are exactly what I want to share with Malmö Stad.
When the city reviews our permit, they want to know what this space truly means to the residents of Malmö and how it benefits everyday life here. They need to hear about the experiences you’ve shared with me:
🔹 A swimwear-friendly space for everyone: So many of you told me how grateful you were for our strict swimwear-only policy. Families, couples, and people from different cultural and religious backgrounds finally found a sauna in Malmö where they felt fully comfortable, included, and respected.
🔹 A true mind & body boost: I’m so happy to see how much you appreciated our guided sauna rituals and the deep, peaceful calm they bring. Together, we’ve created a space where we can all finally hit pause, step away from the noise, and take the time to truly rest.
🔹 Real connection: A rare, mobile-free space where neighbors became friends and newcomers felt welcomed to Malmö.
I want nothing more than to see you all again this autumn, but I need your help to show the city why this matters.
