Travelers planning a trip to Oregon’s coast now have a new way to unwind. Loma Sauna House has officially opened in Cannon Beach, introducing the region’s first dedicated sauna house and a wellness experience inspired by traditional Finnish bathing rituals.

Designed for both visitors and locals, the new spa destination centers around hot-cold contrast therapy, a practice that alternates between intense heat, cold immersion, and periods of rest. The hydrotherapy circuit is designed to promote circulation, support muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and encourage deep relaxation.

Founder Sandy Riedman says the concept is rooted in the Finnish meaning of the word “loma,” which translates to “holiday.”

“Loma is a place where slowing down is honored, and the simple act of resting becomes a form of medicine,” Riedman said.

The space reflects that philosophy with warm wood finishes, local artwork, natural textures, and an outdoor lounge that encourages guests to disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature.

Spa treatments complement the thermal experience

Beyond its signature sauna circuit, Loma also offers a full menu of spa services. Guests can book Hydrafacial treatments using the Hydrafacial system and physician-developed Epionce skincare products, with the option to add red light therapy.

Massage offerings include therapeutic, deep tissue, Swedish, aromatherapy, and prenatal sessions, all designed to pair with the sauna experience. Visitors can also schedule a specialized acupuncture and massage treatment that blends deep tissue work with Ayurvedic oils, cupping, Gua Sha, and acupuncture techniques.

Loma Sauna House is equipped to welcome solo travelers, couples, and groups, while also hosting private events and corporate retreats.

Located just minutes from Cannon Beach’s famous shoreline, the new wellness destination offers another reason to linger along one of Oregon’s most popular coastal escapes. Whether stopping in after a beach walk or planning an afternoon devoted to relaxation, Loma brings a Scandinavian-inspired approach to rest and restoration to the Pacific Northwest.

Cafe Charmant, The Corner Store Crew’s Latest, Puts Food Ahead of the Scene

I’ll be honest. If I weren’t a writer, there is no way in hell I could have landed a 7:15 Saturday night reservation at Cafe Charmant just a mere four weeks after its opening. The most recent jewel in the buzzy Catch Hospitality Group’s crown, the glitzy eatery is the newest IT restaurant to hit the downtown scene, so chalk it up to one of the perks of the job that I could walk in, order a drink, and be ushered to a corner table for two in under 10 minutes.

Though the state of making prime reservations in New York City may not come as a surprise to many, I’m still not able to reconcile with the current velvet rope of so many of this city’s restaurants. Sure, the 90s and early 2000’s had their Indochine, Moomba (if you remember that one, we need to grab a drink). The Waverly Inn, but for the most part, you could easily make a reservation or even walk in and wait for a table with a cocktail in hand at most popular establishments. And, let’s be honest, half the people weren’t even eating, if you know what I mean.

A tasting guide to Livermore Valley, California’s friendliest wine country

Adult, Male, Man

Livermore Valley sits in Northern California’s East Bay, where the hustle and bustle of neighboring Oakland and San Francisco give way to grassy rolling hills, big open skies, and over 40 tasting rooms. The region is home to some of the best wines I’ve tasted in the state, without the pretense and rigidity I’ve come to expect from other tasting rooms in the region.

And thanks to the valley’s marine-influenced winds, varied climate, and diverse soils, I tasted an unusually broad range of wines. Crisp whites, structured reds, and everything in between seem to be able to find their footing here.
