Hot Girls Club: Famous Women Who Love a Sauna

Hollywood has given us red carpets, designer dresses and million-dollar beauty routines.

But sometimes, even the biggest stars just want to sit in a hot wooden room and sweat.

No cameras. No makeup artists. No paparazzi.

Well, maybe the occasional Instagram selfie.

Welcome to the Hot Girls Club.

1. Salma Hayek — Some Like It Hot. Salma Likes It Hotter.

Salma Hayek knows how to get people talking.

In 2023, the Hollywood actress celebrated World Wellbeing Week by sharing a photograph of herself relaxing in a wooden sauna, covered with strategically placed towels.

Naturally, the internet had plenty to say.

But Salma appeared perfectly comfortable turning up the heat.

From Hollywood glamour to a quiet moment in the sauna, she’s proving that sometimes the best accessory is a towel.

No red carpet required.

2. Julianne Hough — Dancing With the Steam

Professional dancer, actress and television personality Julianne Hough is no stranger to working up a sweat.

But she’s also happy to do it without a dance floor.

During a holiday at Six Senses Ibiza in 2024, Julianne shared a video of herself stretching and performing Pilates-inspired movements inside a sauna.

She followed her sauna session with an ice bath.

Dancing, stretching, sweating and dipping.

Someone give this woman a standing ovation.

3. Camila Alves — How to Heat Up a Hollywood Household

Model and entrepreneur Camila Alves McConaughey has taken the sauna experience seriously.

In a 2021 Instagram post, she described using a sauna alongside an ice bath at home.

She also revealed that filmmaker Guy Ritchie and his wife Jacqui had recommended the distinctive Iglucraft sauna that she and husband Matthew McConaughey had been enjoying.

Forget asking your famous friends where they bought their sofa.

In Hollywood, apparently, you ask where they bought their sauna.

Alright, alright, alright. That’s hot.

4. Jacqui Ainsley Ritchie — The Sauna Recommendation That Went Hollywood

Sometimes the best celebrity recommendations aren’t for designer handbags or luxury hotels.

They’re for saunas.

Model Jacqui Ainsley and her filmmaker husband Guy Ritchie were credited by Camila Alves McConaughey with recommending an Iglucraft sauna.

And that recommendation helped introduce another famous household to the joys of a traditional sauna.

It’s a rather wonderful piece of Hollywood word-of-mouth.

Some friends recommend restaurants. These friends recommend entire saunas.

Famous Faces. Serious Heat.

From Salma Hayek’s headline-making sauna photograph to Julianne Hough’s holiday heat sessions, these famous women know how to enjoy a little time away from the spotlight.

And the best part?

You don’t need a Hollywood mansion or an A-list contact list to join in.

At The Ice Bath Club, our social saunas bring people together for warmth, conversation and a little time out.

And when you’re ready for something cooler, the ice baths are waiting.
