Sauna Etiquette
To ensure everyone has the best experience, we ask that all guests follow our sauna etiquette. Please bring a towel to sit on during your sauna session. It’s important for hygiene and comfort—plus, it’s part of the sauna culture! We kindly remind guests to be mindful of others by keeping shouting/loud noise to a minimum, as the sauna is a place to relax and unwind. Please also avoid pouring excessive water on the sauna stones, as it will affect the temperature and comfort of others. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping create a peaceful and enjoyable environment for all. Thank you!

Sea Swimming
We are located less than a 60-second walk from Cappaclogh West beach. You are welcome to swim before, during, or after your sauna session. Your safety is our top priority, and we always recommend using the cold showers and plunge pools at the sauna as a safer alternative. Sea swimming is undertaken at your own risk, and you are responsible for your own safety.
If you choose to sea swim, please visit the Water Safety Ireland website for essential swimming tips. Never swim when conditions are dangerous. Never swimming alone, be cautious of strong currents, and never ever swim during strong winds or weather warnings. When in doubt, enjoy our cold showers and plunge pools at the saunas instead—they even offer a sea view, so you can safely appreciate the beauty of the waves year-round safely from the comfort of our plunge pools.
After sea swimming, ensure you shower before re-entering the sauna to remove any sand and salt water. This helps keep the sauna clean and enjoyable for everyone.
