Swimming pools. Home cinemas. Walk-in wardrobes.

When celebrities design their dream homes, they don’t usually do things by halves.

And for some famous faces, the ultimate luxury isn’t another enormous television or a garage full of supercars.

It’s a sauna.

From Beckham’s countryside igloo to Chris Pine’s Hollywood Hills hideaway, let’s take a look at some seriously hot celebrity property.

1. David Beckham — The £££ Countryside Igloo

Bend It Like Beckham. Build It Like Finland.

David Beckham has played in some of the world’s most spectacular football stadiums.

But one of his favourite places to relax is considerably smaller.

Tucked into the grounds of his Cotswolds home is a beautifully crafted, igloo-shaped Estonian sauna.

Made by Iglucraft, the wooden structure has a distinctive curved roof and space for a group to enjoy the heat.

Beckham has shared photographs of himself relaxing there, sometimes with his dogs keeping watch outside.

A luxury countryside estate. A designer sauna. Four furry spectators.

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

2. Guy Ritchie — The Director Who Started a Sauna Trend

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Saunas

Guy Ritchie has directed some of Hollywood’s biggest action films.

But apparently, he’s also quite good at influencing his famous friends’ home renovations.

The filmmaker owns an Estonian Iglucraft sauna, and reports suggest David Beckham discovered the distinctive design through him.

Imagine having a sauna so impressive that your celebrity friends decide they need one too.

Forget recommending the latest restaurant.

Guy Ritchie recommends an entire building.

3. Chris Pine — A Sauna With a Hollywood Hills View

Star Trek. Sauna Trek.

Chris Pine’s home in the Hollywood Hills has something rather special near the edge of the property.

A private sauna made from wood and glass.

In a 2023 Esquire interview, the actor invited a journalist inside, adding essential oils to the hot stones and settling down for a proper sauna session.

Pine described enjoying the ritual of taking time out, often following his sauna with a dip in cold water.

He’s played Captain Kirk in Star Trek, but his home sauna might be the most relaxing spaceship we’ve ever seen.

To boldly sweat where no man has sweated before.

4. Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves — Alright, Alright, Alright. That’s Hot.

A Hollywood Household With a Finnish Twist

Matthew McConaughey has one of the most recognisable voices in Hollywood.

And at home, his family has an equally distinctive sauna.

His wife, Camila Alves, has shared her experiences using a traditional Iglucraft sauna alongside cold-water immersion.

She even credited Guy Ritchie and his wife Jacqui with recommending the sauna.

So there’s a rather wonderful celebrity connection here.

Guy Ritchie recommends a sauna.

David Beckham gets one.

The McConaughey household gets one too.

Hollywood’s hottest recommendation apparently comes with wooden benches.

5. Ben Fogle — The Woodland Sauna Escape

Into the Wild. Straight Into the Heat.

British adventurer and television presenter Ben Fogle has explored some of the world’s most remote places.

But one of his favourite escapes is much closer to home.

Fogle and his family have enjoyed a woodland sauna in Wales, surrounded by nature.

He’s also written about his passion for sauna culture and visiting public saunas across Britain.

For someone who’s travelled the world, sometimes the perfect adventure is simply a hot wooden room and a refreshing dip outdoors.

No red carpet.

No Hollywood mansion.

Just trees, fresh air and a very hot sauna.
