Astana Orlov's Sauna

Astana Orlov's Sauna is a bath and spa complex in Astana, Kazakhstan, built around public bathing, private bath houses and relaxation treatments. Its facilities combine separate women’s and men’s public sections with bookable spaces designed for more private gatherings. The atmosphere draws on several bathing traditions, with interiors and services that reference Kazakh, Russian and Ukrainian culture alongside a chalet-style setting.

The public areas provide a straightforward communal sauna experience, while the women’s section also includes a dedicated spa space and the men’s section offers its own bathing facilities. Spa procedures and author-designed programmes form part of the complex’s wider approach to relaxation. These options make the venue suitable for visitors seeking a structured bathing session as well as guests planning a longer wellness break.

Private bath houses are the main feature for groups. The collection includes a yurt-inspired house, a Russian-style bath with a black-heated stove, a Ukrainian house, a forest-style izba, a chalet and an estate-style house. Each has a distinct decorative theme and bathing character. Depending on the house, facilities include a lounge, karaoke, an open terrace, a plunge pool, a hot tub and a resting area with hay. The houses are available for private hire and are arranged for different group sizes, including options for larger gatherings.

Several houses include areas for a grill and cauldron, with a personal chef service available as an additional arrangement. The complex also has a kitchen and bar, allowing food and drinks to form part of a longer visit. The source material does not point to a single defining cuisine, so the food offering is best understood as a supporting part of the bath-house experience rather than the central focus.

Design details give each private space a different mood. The yurt reflects steppe culture and Kazakh domestic traditions, the black-heated bath follows an old Russian bathing style, and the Ukrainian house uses a clay-plastered steam-room concept. The izba centres on a classic wood-fired stove, while the chalet provides a quieter Alpine-inspired setting. Together, the choices allow private groups to select a setting that matches the occasion, from a small spa gathering to a larger social stay.

The complex suits adults and groups looking for sauna time, spa procedures and private bathing in one venue. Public bathing offers separate gendered areas, while private houses provide a more contained setting for group relaxation. Its location on Turan Avenue places the venue within Astana’s urban setting, with the private houses adding a retreat-like atmosphere through their terraces, hot-water facilities and themed interiors.
