About
Hotbox's Cork outpost, a sauna village on Victoria Road in Ballintemple, on the edge of the Marina. Wood-fired barrels and cold plunge, with the River Lee as the backdrop. Shared and private sessions both run.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- On a river: the cold side of the cycle comes from open running water rather than a tub.
