Specialists in Outdoor Wellness — Saunas, Hot Tubs, and Fire Pits
Designed for Deep Rest
At Retreat Nexus, every product — from low-EMF infrared saunas built with Canadian hemlock and red cedar to hydrotherapy hot tubs and open-flame fire pits — is selected for material integrity and long-term outdoor use. We answer questions with specifics, not scripts. Most orders ship free within the Continental U.S., and our team is reachable at support@retreatnexus.com.
Questions We Get a Lot
A far-infrared sauna uses carbon heating panels to warm the body directly at lower ambient temperatures, typically between 120°F and 150°F, which many users find easier to sit in for longer sessions. A traditional steam sauna — sometimes called a Finnish or wet sauna — heats the air itself, reaching 160°F to 190°F, with humidity introduced by pouring water over the heater stones. The right choice depends on how you prefer to use the space and the level of heat intensity you find comfortable.
EMF stands for electromagnetic field, which all electric heating elements emit to some degree. Low-EMF carbon panels are designed and tested to keep emissions well below standard thresholds, which is a consideration many buyers prioritise when the sauna will be used frequently and at close range. If this is a priority for you, look for the specific panel count and wattage in the product details — both affect the overall EMF profile of the unit.
Inflatable hot tubs are designed for outdoor use but perform best above freezing temperatures — most manufacturers recommend deflating and storing the unit if ambient temperatures will consistently drop below 40°F for extended periods. In mild climates, year-round outdoor use is straightforward. In colder regions, seasonal storage extends the lifespan of the liner and pump components considerably.

About Our Best Sellers
Outdoor wellness products — saunas, hot tubs, and fire pits — share a common purpose: they give you a dedicated space to slow down, apply heat, and step away from the demands of indoor life. Saunas divide broadly into far-infrared and traditional steam formats. Far-infrared units use low-EMF carbon panels to heat at lower ambient temperatures, making them accessible for a wider range of users; traditional steam cabins reach higher temperatures and introduce humidity through a wood-fired or electric heater. Construction materials matter here — red cedar and spruce are standard for their natural resistance to moisture and their ability to handle repeated thermal cycling. Hot tubs range from inflatable units suited to seasonal use up to hard-shell models with dedicated hydrotherapy jets. Fire pits in cast iron or limestone sit at the more structural end of outdoor living — chosen for their permanence and material weight rather than portability. When evaluating any of these categories, the most useful questions are capacity, power source, installation footprint, and how the unit will perform through your local climate.
