History

There had been proposals of a spa in Katajanokka to the Finnish Bureau of Sports and Exercise already in 2006. Construction of Allas Sea Pool was given a permit in August 2015. The Ministry for Labour and Entrepreneurship supported the project with 329 thousand euro. The city of Helsinki, Finnvera and Tekes gave the project a loan of 3 million euro in total. In addition, the project was financed with group funding, which gathered 810 thousand euro. Over 400 people participated in the group funding. One of the pools was built on the Teijo docks of Western Shipyard in Salo, where it was transferred by sea to Katajanokka in a little under one day.

The target number of visitors in Allas Sea Pool is 320 thousand per year. In 2017 the spa reached 142 thousand visitors.
