Leil Saunas Now Lists 45-Country Footprint; Italy and Spain Anchored by Suuda

Five days after SaunaNews reported on the topping-out of Leil Saunas’ new production building in Vonnu, Estonia, the manufacturer (formerly Saunasell) is citing a larger distribution footprint. It now references distribution to more than 45 countries on current marketing materials, up from the “over 35 countries” that still appears on its public website. A new partner called Suuda Sauna anchors the southern-European channel, serving Italy and Spain with Leil’s full product line and base pricing that starts below €7,000.

The southern-Europe channel

Suuda Sauna sells Leil’s entire catalog in Italy and Spain. The site carries at least nine models across outdoor and indoor categories, with three pricing tiers that map directly onto Leil’s Pure, Elegant, and Premium collections.

The entry-level outdoor cabin is the Black Cube Comfort at €6,800 for a six-person unit. The Black Cube Premium steps to €7,475 with upgraded interior finishes. The Round Cube Mini, the compact four-to-five person model with a footprint under 50 square feet, lists at €8,285 base before optional LED lighting, juniper wall accents, and heater packages. All three product pages were updated on May 4.

Every model ships as a DIY flat-pack kit with a UKU Wi-Fi smart controller. Materials follow Leil’s house standard: Lunawood ThermoWood exterior, aspen and alder benches, tempered glass. Customization adds two to three months of lead time.

The company’s founder, identified as Giorgio on Suuda’s about page, describes a decade of experience with Nordic brands before launching the dealership. The site carries 65-plus customer reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, with testimonials from Como, Milan, Turin, Barcelona, and Ibiza. The precise establishment date and the formalization timing of the Leil partnership are not stated publicly. SaunaNews has reached out to both companies for confirmation.

More countries while a second factory goes up

The manufacturer’s existing nine production halls span 95,200 square feet, producing 250-plus saunas per month. A new building topped out on April 17 and is scheduled for completion in July, roughly doubling the physical footprint.

Going from 35-plus to 45-plus distribution countries (a roughly 30 percent increase in country-level outlets) while simultaneously building a second production facility suggests Leil’s constraint is capacity rather than demand. Italy and Spain are markets where residential sauna adoption has lagged Scandinavia and the Baltics, but where an Estonian manufacturer with a design-competition pedigree (Leil won a Red Dot Best of the Best in 2024) and celebrity customers from F1 driver Valtteri Bottas to skateboarder Tony Hawk can compete on aesthetics rather than price alone.

At €8,285 for a compact outdoor cabin, Leil is not chasing the value end of the market. Other European manufacturers pushing into new geographies this year are making similar bets on brand and design over volume discounting, a pattern that only works when the production pipeline can match the pace of new-market onboarding.

In October 2026, Leil co-founded the Estonian Sauna Trust with HUUM, Auroom and DWILD, a shared quality mark for Estonian saunas launched at Interbad in Stuttgart.
