Hellasgården — Lakeside Sauna
Nacka, Stockholm County
A lakeside sauna in Nacka’s recreation area, with optional sauna coverage and separate women’s and men’s facilities. Monday and Wednesday mixed sauna arrangements let women visit the men’s sauna, while swimwear remains required outdoors and for lake access.
Nudity policy
Sauna nudity; outdoor swimwear required
The sauna permits clean swimwear for people who want coverage, rather than making it compulsory. Swimwear used in the lake must not be worn into the sauna. Nudity is not allowed on the terraces, jetty or lake approach: the current rule requires swimwear there, with additional cover-up guidance for terrace use.
Saunas and changing rooms are normally separated for women and men. On Mondays and Wednesdays, women may enter the men’s sauna but not its showers, changing room or toilets; the women’s sauna remains women-only. Check the separately published Aufguss-session rules. This listing does not present the lake or public recreation area as a nude beach.
Facilities
- Sauna: Separate women’s and men’s saunas, with specified mixed sauna access; clean swimwear may be used for coverage inside.
- Showers: Shower facilities are part of the sauna changing areas.
- Restaurant/Cafe: Sjöcaféet and Storstugan serve the recreation area; these are clothed public spaces outside the sauna.

The operator-identified paid visitor car park is described in Directions and Parking; it is not counted as a confirmed on-site sauna facility.
Access & visiting
Public paid sauna sessions are booked online by start time; no membership or overnight stay is required. A normal visit is 90 minutes and ends at the booked finish time even after late arrival. Annual cards and private hire are optional alternatives, not prerequisites.
Age & supervision
Children are admitted to regular sauna sessions; the operator publishes a half-price ticket through age seven. Its quiet Monday evening asks families with small children to choose another session.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Year-round; check the operator’s current hours, maintenance notices and any special-day rules before visiting.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Use Hellasgården’s reception at Ältavägen 101 in Nacka, beside Källtorpssjön. The operator lists bus 401 from Slussen to the Hellasgården stop; check current SL times. Check in with your booking name at reception and follow staff directions to the sauna building.
Parking
Approaching by car on road 260 towards Älta, the operator identifies a large paid visitor car park on the left at Hellasgården. Use the marked spaces and posted payment system. This is parking for the recreation centre, not permission to drive down the lakeside paths or jetty.
Finding the naturist area
At reception, check in for the booked start time, then enter the appropriate changing room when admitted. Remove shoes at the changing-room entrance and store them in the locker. Nudity is confined to the indoor sauna/changing context; keep swimwear ready before leaving for the lake. For Monday/Wednesday mixed sauna use, book the normal women’s or men’s side and follow staff instructions for crossing only into the men’s hot room.
Where naturism applies
The women’s sauna and changing areas remain separate. Mixed access does not include the men’s showers, changing room or toilets. Outdoor terraces, the jetty and the lake approach require swimwear, so there is no continuous nude route from the sauna to the water. Dining and public recreation grounds are clothed.
- Book a 90-minute start time online and be ready to leave by its fixed end time.
- Bring a towel, clean sauna coverage if wanted, swimwear for the lake, and a locker padlock or check reception hire/purchase options.
- Check the live status page for brief maintenance closures and the separate Aufguss schedule.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
