Dún Laoghaire's seaside sauna experience, steps from the Forty Foot. Heat, plunge, repeat.
The Experience
Perched at the edge of the sea in Sandycove, Dún Laoghaire — steps from the Forty Foot — our wood-fired sauna is a place to slow down, warm up, and reconnect with the sea, yourself, and the people you bring. The only outdoor sauna in Glasthule and Dalkey with direct sea access.
Authentic heat, real wood, real steam. The kind of sauna that makes you feel everything.
Step straight from the sauna into the Irish Sea for a cold-water plunge. The ultimate contrast therapy — heat, cold, repeat.
Watch the sea from inside. Sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between.
Book the whole experience for yourself, or share it. Both are magic.
