A new sauna lounge is coming to Citrus Heights…
Rafa Sauna Lounge is slated to open in August on San Juan Avenue, according to the Sacramento Business Journal. The business will offer customers sauna and cold plunge wellness packages. The 4,000-square-foot space will feature multiple saunas, a steam room and ice room, a quiet room and relaxation lounge, and locker rooms with private showers.
Tiered membership plans are available and begin at $129 a month for four 2-hour sessions, according to the company’s website. Two-hour walk-ins without a membership are also available for $45.
The company’s website lists multiple signature therapies, including dry and wet saunas, an herbal steam room, an ice room, a relaxation lounge, and a traditional Venik therapy. The founders of the company are also owners of a local construction company, according to the Journal.
A visit to the site on Friday found the interior still under construction. Owners could not be reached for comment.
The new sauna and lounge will be located down the street from a major shopping center that includes anchors Kohl’s and Burlington. The building is located at 6029 San Juan Ave., near the corner of Sperry Drive, in a plaza that also includes 7-Eleven and Daylight Produce.
The building once housed a former bank branch, and more recently it was occupied by a discount retailer called Red Tag Outlet, according to Yelp, which shuttered sometime in 2023.
