About
An oceanside sauna on Spiddal Pier, on the Wild Atlantic Way. A panoramic window looks across Galway Bay to the Aran Islands, and monthly guided ritual sessions run alongside the regular bookings. The location is extraordinary: remote enough to feel like a destination, close enough to Galway city to be practical.
Good to know
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
