Overview
Two sauna experiences. One premium outdoor cabin.
The Golden Designs Carinthia 3-Person Hybrid Outdoor Sauna (GDI-8123-01) combines PureTech™ full-spectrum infrared with a separate Harvia 8kW traditional electric sauna stove, providing two heating options in one Canadian Hemlock cabin.
Its infrared system uses 8 emitters—2 Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF panels plus 6 near-infrared elements—and is recommended at outdoor temperatures of approximately 45°F or warmer. The Harvia stove provides the traditional heated-stone alternative.
Key Features
- Hybrid Heating — Choose full-spectrum infrared or traditional electric sauna heat.
- 8 IR Emitters — 2 PureTech™ Near Zero EMF carbon panels plus 6 near-infrared elements.
- Harvia 8kW Stove — Traditional heated-stone sauna with built-in controls.
- Canadian Hemlock — Natural reforested wood construction.
- Protective Exterior Stain — Clear water-protection stain requires annual reapplication.
- Integrated Lighting — Interior chromotherapy, backrest accent, and exterior overhang lighting.
- Bluetooth + FM Audio — Built-in speakers with Bluetooth connectivity and FM station.
- Traditional Accessories — Sandglass, bucket, and scoop included.
Why This Product Stands Out
Most home saunas require you to choose between infrared and traditional heat. The Carinthia incorporates both:
PURETECH™ INFRARED + HARVIA 8kW TRADITIONAL SAUNA
Infrared mode is recommended at approximately 45°F or warmer. The Harvia stove heats the cabin and sauna stones for the traditional experience and is the appropriate option below the recommended infrared range, subject to manufacturer requirements.

Carinthia sauna structure, 8 infrared emitters, Harvia 8kW stove and sauna-stone system, bronze privacy tempered-glass door, integrated lighting, LED control panel, Bluetooth/FM audio with speakers, sandglass, bucket, and scoop.
Who This Is For
Ideal for homeowners who want infrared and traditional sauna options without purchasing two separate saunas. Its three-person capacity suits couples, small households, and premium backyard projects.
Installation & Electrical Planning
At approximately 750 lbs. assembled, the Carinthia requires a stable, level foundation capable of supporting the sauna, occupants, and applicable loads. Plan for drainage, delivery access, clearance, weather exposure, and local requirements.
The 8kW Harvia stove requires 240V / 40A. Consult a certified electrician and verify current requirements for the infrared system and other electronics before electrical work begins.
The sauna ships in 9 boxes weighing approximately 930 lbs. combined; plan delivery access accordingly.
Outdoor Care & Safety
The exterior clear water-protection stain requires annual reapplication. Inspect and maintain the natural wood regularly and follow Golden Designs' outdoor installation and weather-exposure requirements.
Maintain required heater clearances and ventilation. Never cover the stove, modify either heating system, or pour water onto electrical controls or infrared components. Use only approved sauna stones and apply water only as permitted by Harvia.
Follow manufacturer temperature and session instructions, supervise children appropriately, and do not use the sauna while impaired. Exit immediately if you feel faint, dizzy, confused, excessively uncomfortable, or otherwise unwell.
